Lost in the Struggle

Jan 16, 2023

— If struggling worked, you’d be winning the fight.

— If lots of irons in the fire worked, you’d be experiencing multiple successes.

— If setting a frantic pace worked, you’d be ahead of the pack.

— If procrastinating worked, then life itself would eventually give in to your goals & dreams.


Important because what works is slow, smart, steady progress. Not like at a snails pace, more like at a persistent one.

“I was waiting for something extraordinary to happen...but as the years wasted on nothing ever did…unless I caused it.” —Charles Bukowski
