The Dream Is Sold Separately From The Hustle

By Evan Sanders


Dreams are free. Hustle however, is sold separately. Boy is it expensive.

When on the path to doing your most creative work, life appears to get reasonably simple. You work ridiculously hard, go to sleep, and wake up to work conscientiously all over again. Monday through Friday are the staple for many, except for entrepreneurs and those that are attempting to create something. For the case of those people, Saturday's and Sunday's exist as another two days of opportunity to move ahead.

This is the grind.

It's going to take everything you have. Your vision is going to demand that you put forward your best effort, work yourself past where you thought your limits were, and to dream as large as you can. There's nothing like chasing a dream and riding the roller coaster of exhaustion and pure excitement. But this is how it's really meant to be. It's what comes along with doing what you love.

You also have to be open and willing to listen to the murmurs deep within yourself and tune out the negativity that people bring to the table. Of course, spend a little bit of time to hear out those that are attempting to give you valuable counsel on your journey, but in the end, you should make your own calls and go on confidently and with persistence . Because without those traits, you may burn out and struggle to face the inescapable fact of failure. Failure is part of the game and it's there to teach you methods not to do what you have set out to do. Failure serves as a very valuable course adjuster when you are going in the wrong direction.

So embrace the hustle, embrace the grind, and embrace failure. These are all parts of success. Have faith that if you keep going toward what you are passionate about with enthusiasm, you'll eventually arrive right where you've got to be.

Invest in the hustle, it will certainly never let you down.
