Why Is It So Hard?: Deconstructing Doubt When Chasing Your Dreams

…because if it was easy, everyone would do it.

…because it just is.

…because most things worth doing are.

…because accomplishing it seems so far off.

…because it’s not completely in your control.

…because it’s meaningful work.

…because you haven’t learned how yet.

…because there is no one path.

…because you can’t skip over putting in the work.

…because you’re telling yourself it is.

…because it doesn’t happen overnight.

…because you don’t know if it will work.

…because you don’t really know what you’re doing.

…because you’re not seeing immediate results.

The list could go on.

If you haven’t guessed yet, your “it” is the thing you want most in life. The thing that seems impossible to accomplish when you’re starting out but you know it’s what you should be doing.

Are you going to just give up and settle for average?

Or work through the obstacles to make your “it” happen and create the life you want?

I choose the latter every time, and I hope you do too.
