It’s Only A Shitty Week, Not A Shitty Life.

At times I get so immersed in work, I head to bed at 7 am… Yes, you read correctly. 7 FREAKING AM.

Just reached the end of a very long week thinking, writing and strategizing present // future agendas.

But it’s also one of those busier weeks where it’s mostly bad news and unfavourable results to show for.

Whenever I encounter situations like these, I find myself in need of quotes or writings to make me realize it’s 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦.

And then, I came across @sethgodin’s blog that reads:

𝙄𝙛 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙮…

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙮 𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡. 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙬𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠, 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙤𝙪𝙩, 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙜𝙤 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙.

𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙚, 𝙞𝙩 𝙢𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙨. 𝘽𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣’𝙩 𝙖𝙨 𝙙𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚.

𝙄𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙠 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨.

And then I remember this quote from Bruce Lee that says: ‘Do not pray for an easy life. Pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.’

Whatever difficult challenges you’re going through right now, carry on with that hustle & it’s only a matter of time before good things start coming your way.

“Hard choices, Easy life.
Easy choices, Hard life.”
