Your Wake Up Call

I’ve heard it time and time again (and frankly I’m over hearing it!) “Oomf has this designer handbag or got that amazing promotion and I don’t have it/ didn’t get it, because I’m not as lucky as them, or rich as them” etc etc. I’m gonna tell you right now that if you’re one of those people who always have a reason as to why they can’t do something you need to cut that shit out like five minutes ago! And let me explain why.

            First of all there is nothing, I repeat NOTHING, you can’t do if you set your mind to accomplishing it. Now with that being said just because you can accomplish anything, that doesn’t mean that you will actually accomplish anything you want, for that to happen you actually need to have the dedication and determination to do whatever it takes to achieve said accomplishment.

            So what exactly does it take to have that dedication and determination? Well you have to be willing to miss out on some parties, put down that cellphone for a minute, quit refreshing Instagram every ten seconds, and actually get some work done (SHOCKER!) To put it simply if you’re not legit exhausted, and by exhausted I mean so exhausted that when your heard hits the pillow that night you pass out like .5 seconds later, so quickly you’re still in the clothes you were wearing, left your phone off the charger exhausted, you’re not putting in enough work.

            The fact is, yeah there are gonna be days when you’re not going to work as hard, I mean hey we all need a few chill days, but to get what we want we need to be willing to put that work in. So okay, there are some people that things come to easily, whether it’s money, or they always seem to be the ones who get promoted first, but if you’re not one of those people (like me) you need to be willing to grind a little harder, and make your hustle more known; because to be honest if you’re not willing to do it, rest assured someone out there is willing to put in 27 hours to your 24, and when they get their moment and you don’t the only person you’ll have to blame will be yourself, for not putting that work in.

            At the end of the day the only person stopping you from having whatever it is in life that you want, is you. So grind a little harder, work a few more hours, keep pushing through the exhaustion and lack of motivation, because at the end of the day nothing worth having comes easy, and when you finally accomplish whatever it is that you wanted to accomplish you’ll know it was all you and that unlike that person who seems to get everything handed to them, you actually deserve it.
