The Surprising Cost Of The Hustle

By Evan Sanders


The dream is free.

Hustle however, is sold separately. And boy is it expensive.

Chasing dreams can be incredibly exhausting but thoroughly rewarding. While you essentially work Sunday to Sunday, you end up relishing the opportunity to get ahead and get one step closer to creating something that really matters. You see an opportunity that needs to be seized and constantly move forward towards achieving it.

Welcome to the grind.

The grind is going to take everything you've got.

Your vision is going to demand that you put forward your best effort, work yourself past where you thought your limits were, and to dream as large as you can. There's nothing like chasing a dream and riding the roller coaster of exhaustion and pure excitement at the same time. But this is how it's meant to be. It's what comes along with doing what you love.

You also have to be willing to listen to the whispers deep inside of yourself and tune out the negativity that people bring to the table.

Of course you should take the time to hear people who are trying to give you valuable counsel on your path, but at the end of the day, you must make your own choices and advance confidently and with tenacity. Because without those characteristics, you'll burn out and struggle to face the unavoidable fact of failure. Failure is an element of the game and it's there to teach you specific ways not to do what you have set out to do. Failure serves as a very valuable course adjuster when you are going in the wrong direction.

Again, welcome to the grind.

So embrace the hustle, embrace the pain, and embrace failure. These are all elements of success. Have faith that if you keep going towards what you love with determination, you may ultimately arrive right where you were meant to be.

Invest in the hustle, it will never let you down.
