Now, I'm not saying keep jamming the square peg in the round hole if you know something's not for you.
I'm simply saying if there is something you want, something that you know in your soul is pulling you in,
and you really want to see that thing come to fruition, you can't have pre-made off-ramps for yourself when the inevitable difficulty comes in.
Because it will.
It always does.
I refer to those moments as checkpoints, areas of internal deliberation, high security, guarded gates, where many arrive, but few get to pass through.
Not because they couldn't,
but because the cost of access was expensive, too expensive, mentally, physically, and socially expensive.
Taxing.
Most simply say no thanks.
They get back on that boat, waiting for them by the shore they arrived on and return to the world they've always known.
The way I see it, this is not about right or wrong.
No, that's missing the point entirely.
I see the question being, how bad do you want it?
A little?
A lot?
How about enough to go all in?
Because if you want to see levels of yourself you never thought possible, you need to kick the ladder down behind you.
Force yourself to rise to the occasion amidst the chaos.
Map your path straight into the darkness of night.
