Honesty

Are you making an honest assessment of your efforts? Most of the time I am not, I am not saying that I don’t put in a lot of effort or work, but it is possible for me to do more. With that, there is a tradeoff, I have made it to the point where my work suffers because I stretch myself too thin, I have gotten to the point of being too angry to function at my best, I’ve overworked myself to the point of injury and illness, and I’ve alienated people by being on this journey. If you want to achieve anything, sacrifice is necessary. What you sacrifice is up to you, but it is necessary to be honest with yourself and the people around you about the lengths you’re willing to go and whether you are going that far to achieve them. Everyone has the capacity to accomplish what they set out to achieve, but putting in the work is not the same as setting the goal. Whatever you want in life, are you putting yourself in the position to get there?
