Put in the work ✍️

If you want more, you have to do more. If you want a lot, you have to do a lot. You have to take the risk, you have to work harder, you have to prepare to lose some, to gain more. you have to be willing to give up a few things. Are you willing to make a sacrifice, whether it’s time, fun, sleep??

I learned overtime you can’t expect a lot, and do bare minimum. What you put out, is what you get back. Focus on what you have going on, you’re not in a race, you should only be focused on getting farther than where you use to be, mentally, spiritually!

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:

I was praying to God to help me, to show me where I belong, and provide me with all the resources I needed to be successful. I was praying for this for months, nonstop, but it wasn’t until I started making baby steps and being consistent, and actually putting work into my craft and what I wanted, then God started blessing me, started opening doors. Once I put in the work is when I noticed the pieces coming together. Basically I was praying for things, but wasn’t putting in the work, and of course we know that’s not how it works. I was more afraid of failing, instead of  trusting in the plan, trusting in the vision, and had little faith. Not only was I praying for something, once I received it, I didn’t know how to handle it or maintain it. So I learned to also pray for discipline to maintain and grow whatever it is I’m seeking. I literally got everything I asked for, and lost it all (well didn’t know how to handle it) due to fear. I was finally living in the moment I prayed for, and when I say it was the most peace ever. It was perfect, I was shocked, and didn’t know how to deal with the unknown and being out my comfort zone. I was afraid of the change I prayed for, I was afraid to continue the journey towards the new beginning I been praying for.

Make sure you’re prepared for what you’re asking. Make sure you’re working 10x than when you started. The hard-work doesn’t actually comes in until you finally step into what you want. As I always say, make sure you celebrate every milestone, big or small, because it’s not easy.
