Motivation ebbs and flows. It is fickle and short-lasting.
So we can’t wait for the muse to compel us to work. As Chuck Close said, “inspiration is for amateurs.”
However, what we can do is develop a passion for something and use it to solidify our grit. Having a little excitement helps us push through crap (criticism, rejection, assholes, and pressure).
If pertinacity and practice are a powerful combination, then discipline is true freedom. We are nothing without planned intent.
The fight is already there. The rest is permission, one that we can only give ourselves.

It really comes down to persistence and the hustle muscle. Of course, such tenacity can be stressful so you have to find ways to relax as well. Rest is key.
I frankly aggree. I realized i had to grind myself in order to push through in life.
No problem! 🙂
