The bigger the dream, the bigger de battle. The bigger the battle, the sweeter the victory.
I don’t want to rain on your parade. I know you did not have an easy life. But if you don’t put in the work, you won’t see the results. Consistent work beats talent if talent doesn’t work. All day, every day.
Now that we got that out of the way, we need to build a structure. First of all, I want you to write down what are you chasing and why? What do you want to prove and why? Is it for the money? Is it just about the money? Is it for the fame? Is it about freedom? Is it for your family? Is it about expressing what you are? Why do you want to be better?
Why? I am asking you because if your why is not strong enough, you will quit. You will quit in the first moment things don’t go your way. And trust me; there will be many moments when things don’t go your way. Winter is going to come.
But. And there is always a but. If your why is not strong enough, you will not survive the winter. The winter? The winter is the season when nothing works. The winter is when you lose all of your friends—the winter. Winter is the season where nothing works, and trust me – winter is coming. Some winters are mild and short. Some winters are long and hard, but the winter is always coming, so you better be ready.
How do you prepare for the winter? First of all, by realizing that it is coming. Life is cyclical. Up and down and all around. For everybody. Nobody is spared.
But you, you beautiful mortal, is now ready, and you also have a secret weapon for the winter. What is your secret weapon? God. God is. What else?
God is the beginning and the end—nothing without Him. And, to be honest, why not with Him? You need all the help that you can get. Who better to ask for help?
Come on… You know better than that. You are wiser than that. And I am sure you can get over your pride.
Get on your knees.
“My Lord. My Father! My King! “
With love, yours truly, Cristian.
