F*ck Overnight Success

Enjoy the bullshit jobs.
Make the shit temp work MEANINGFUL.
Work everyday towards your long-term goals.
Relish in the failures & make them become the dots you connect down the road.
No one likes an overnight success, so remember — to earn it is sweeter.
People will doubt you, your work ethic, and your worth; push harder to prove them all wrong.
It won’t be easy, you’ll struggle — you’ll doubt yourself, but remember you’re not alone.
Put in the shitty work when no one’s looking, to make the spotlight that much brighter.

I came across this short piece on my phone from almost two years ago. Truth is, I haven’t written anything in a while, personal, paid or otherwise. However, I felt like I came across it at a time that was quite apropos and I hope it is to you too.
