The world never gets up at 4am for months on end to grind with you. It never pulls all night coding sessions with you. It didn’t read 1000 books with you. It’s never there to help with the kids while you fulfill orders for your business. It does not see your countless hours of practice. It didn’t go to 6 months of therapy as you fought back from injury.
So, the next time someone says…
“You’re the most talented”
“You are wonderful”
“You are so lucky”
“You suck!”
“You don’t deserve this”
“You will never make it”
IGNORE IT!
The world usually looks on as you cross the finish line; sometimes with admiration, sometimes with envy. The world can’t share your experience because it doesn’t understand your sacrifice.
Believe in yourself, trust the process, and don’t believe the comments.
