Like bro.

I mean, I'm not judging. I've been the girl chasing the easy fix. The quickest, easiest way to get results.

But for any achievement in this life that is actually worth it, there's no such thing as easy or fast.

There needs to be hard work and consistency. There will be obstacles. Wins. Setbacks. Frustrations. Tears. More wins. And all of it before you actually see the first tiny result coming in.

But here's the catch: hard work that's meaningless leads to burn out, but hard work that's purposeful work leads to fulfillment.

A few years ago I quit my job to start my life over. I tried SO many things to reinvent myself. Always with the positive delusion that I could accomplish anything I wanted.

The problem is, and that's why most things I tried failed, I also believed that it would be easy. So when something started to get hard, I had to reevaluate how bad I wanted it.

Turns out, there weren't many things I thought were worth investing so much of myself in. So there's a lot of things I gave up on before reaping the reward of "hard work".

Making money online for example. I fell so many times for all the markety messages promising that it was quick and easy.

Well, surprise surprise, it's not. It's simple, but when you have zero idea what you're doing and start from no experience, it's not easy.

I cannot tell you how many times I started a new online business from scratch when the one I was working on didn't bring results, yet.

But when you give up one thing only to chase the next, expecting that it'll be easier, or that it'll be the magic solution you were looking for, you end up hitting the same walls, disguised in different tasks.

That's called having the shiny object syndrome, and I used to have it baaaad.

Now that I look back, I realize that it's only because I wasn't actually super clear on what I wanted.

I was also evolving. So all these trials and failures, they actually taught me exactly what is worth spending my time on, and how to focus on the vision rather than the shiny object.

Plus, I now have an out-of-this-world knowledge about online marketing, giving me a huge advantage for what I'm building.

So everything I did and everything I learned actually lead me here.

And now, I'm locked in. I also feel like I've found my calling(s), which helps tremendously. Took a bit more time that the average person but hey, everyone's on their own timeline.

There's a certain peace that comes with knowing that you're working towards your dreams, and that, no matter how long it takes and how hard it will be, you're here for it. And you're willing to put in the work.

Because truth is... there's no other option.

I quit my job because I had a desire for more, and a sense that I wasn't aligned, even though I had no idea what that meant.

Then I did what I had to do to find exactly what I was looking for: purpose.

If there's one thing I could tell you if you're feeling a bit lost or restless, it's go find yourself first. The rest will follow.

With love,
