The Truth About Struggle

Why struggle is actually the best thing.

I want to start this letter off by saying this is not a corny self help motivation letter.

Rather this is the genuine truth of what is on my mind this morning.

Taking a look back on the past 365 days of my life allowed me to understand something.

A lot has happened…

But going from a couple hundred dollars in my bank account and feeling like shit to multiple 6 figures and now a 7 figure run rate has allowed me to be able to say…

Struggle is beautiful.

You may be confused

What exactly do I mean?

Well, although sipping champagne on a first class trip to Dubai with my mother next to my side not having to worry about a thing in the world was a surreal feeling.

And the Jet Ski’s, fast cars, beautiful scenes and soft beaches…

There’s no way I would be able to genuinely appreciate and have true love for my experiences if it wasn’t for the hard times.

So i’m writing this letter to whoever’s currently going through hard times.

I know exactly how it feels.

You may have no idea why your business isn’t working and no idea on what you should be doing.

You hate the feeling of not being undeniably successful.

You may even feel like your confused, lost, stuck, and literally everyone is winning except you.

But I want to say that is far from the truth.

Embrace the struggle, as this is your hero’s journey.

Because soon, the struggle will all be over. A lot faster than you think as well.

And you may think your path right now is extraordinarily hard and you want to quit, give up, or switch to a new path.

But I have to tell you success isn’t about taking the “easy” path.

It’s meant to be hard.

But being able to look back at your life and know the during your toughest times, you looked life dead in the eye and DIDN’T QUIT.

That my friend, is one of the feelings in life that money just can’t buy.

So I say this to say that its undeniable you will be successful.

In fact, it’s only a matter of time.

So appreciate these times you are in as you prepare for the next phase in your life.

There is no light without dark.

No warm without cold.

Keep going.
