Most people don’t achieve their dreams. Not because they don’t want them, but because they can’t fully foresee the hardships and effort it will take to make it to the other end. Most people will quit when a dream becomes painful, when the novelty of it wears off and the criticism starts to sink in.
We see successful people as these out of reach legends or unobtainable symbols of success. But every one of these people has a story where they grinded–they sweated, they bled for what they believed in. While most of their peers were out with their friends drinking or stuck in self doubt and fear, they worked towards something. They committed towards a destination with faith and courage that no matter who bad it got, or how unlikely it seemed, they would continue to the end. That’s what separates people who say they are following their dreams and people who actually achieve them.
