You could be instead figuring out what you're doing wrong, trying to prove certain aspects of your life, getting your shit together, reading a book, meditating, something.

Fucking something.

You've got to put in the work when nobody cares.

There's only one person who has to care.

You gave me an opportunity to reinvent myself.

You gave me an opportunity to come out of my grave that you put me in.

You left me for dead.

I'm coming out alive.

There's a price tag to success.

You don't just get it overnight.

You got to earn it the right way.

You need to work harder.

You've got to learn to suffer.

You've got to put yourself in a bit of an uncomfortable position.

And you may not feel qualified.

You may not feel like you are educated enough.

You may not feel like you're connected enough.

You may not think that enough people are aware of you, cognizant of you, because you don't have a blue check and you're not a celebrity yet.

But you got to work hard and silence.

You gotta work when nobody's watching.
