In life, patience is not about waiting; it’s the ability to keep a
good attitude while working hard on your dreams, knowing that the work
is worth it. So if you’re going to try, put in the time and go all the
way. Otherwise, there’s no point in starting. This could mean losing
stability and comfort for a while, and maybe even your mind on
occasion. It could mean not eating what, or sleeping where, you’re used
to, for weeks on end. It could mean stretching your comfort zone so
thin it gives you a nonstop case of the chills. It could mean
sacrificing relationships and all that’s familiar. It could mean
accepting ridicule from your peers. It could mean lots of time alone in
solitude. Solitude, though, is the gift that makes great things
possible. It gives you the space you need. Everything else is a test
of your determination, of how much you really want it.
And if you want it, you’ll do it, despite failure and rejection and
the odds. And every step will feel better than anything else you can
imagine. You will realize that the struggle is not found on the path,
it is the path. And it’s worth it. So if you’re going to try, go all
the way. There’s no better feeling in the world… there’s no better
feeling than knowing what it means to be ALIVE
