The Surprising Cost Of The Hustle

By Evan Sanders


I'm sure you know this, but the dream is free.

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

When you are chasing your dreams, life seems to simplify in many ways. The insanely hard work you put into your vision, the long hours and the late nights all become part of your lifestyle. You work Monday through Friday and then see that Saturday's and Sundays are an opportunity for you to get ahead. The hustlers understand that the weekend begs for more of their investment.

This is the grind.

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

Dreams shape and mold you into the person you need to be to accomplish them. In order to accomplish this you have to step your game up and do things you've never done. You have to stretch yourself, smash through boundaries, and invest in yourself.

You also have to be willing to listen to the deep internal voice that guides you on the journey you are supposed to walk instead of always letting the internal critic question what you are doing.

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.

So welcome to the grind.

Embrace the hustle. Embrace the pain. Embrace the challenges and failures that come along with everything that will arrive when you are on your journey. These are not things that should discourage you but things that should "encourage" you. If you are willing to continue down your path no matter the struggle you truly deserve to see it all happen.

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