They don't see the late nights and early mornings. They don't see the painstaking care that you put into your work. They don't see when it's unglamorous. When it isn't pretty. They don't see the long hours when you do the exact same thing over and over again in order to make it just right. Every day, you're doing things that nobody sees. You're working in silence. Investing your time and energy into this vision you can't get out of your head.
And every day, you're showing up for yourself with no guarantees that it's ever going to lead you anywhere.
Nobody's watching you, crowning you with praise and adoration. Nobody's giving you awards for your commitment and consistency. There is no applause. But one day, you're going to look back on these moments, and you'll know that this is why you made it. You weren't lucky. It didn't just fall into your lap. You chose it. You sacrificed for it. You built it. And you didn't just stumble upon your success — you succeeded on purpose.
