My voice is still croaky from the temporary grave I decided to take a break from which for some reason we all understand to be a bed. The tone of my writing might give someone the impression that I’m in a really bad mood but trust me, I’m as chirpy as your regular canary.
As I found myself swiping endlessly down a line of reels on instagram I locked eyes with the face of Alex Hormozi. Whilst his content usually leaves me with knots in my stomach because he never shies away from stressing the harsh truth of being your own boss, this time around I felt somewhat relieved.
He effectively said that in the beginning, you’ll be the only one clapping for yourself as you make your way towards the goal you wish to accomplish. For a very long time your efforts will be thankless, unless you’re there to thank yourself at the end of a very long and lonely day. This is the reason why fundamentally, you should always be your biggest fan and supporter. Nobody else will be as willing to be there for you when times get tough.
I found myself digesting this information confidently feeling pretty positive. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who appreciates the nature of investing in yourself through your time and your efforts, against the tide of all the demands and expectations from others and the society around me.
I honestly felt like I was going crazy, as though I was pretentious for building something of my own and giving it so much energy and attention. It’s no wonder why people shy away from pursuing their true dreams.
