Are you working on your dream? Can you see it up ahead? Are you toiling away at the coalface, dreaming and grafting to make your vision a reality?

Feels hard, doesn’t it!

I know that feeling, each morning I wake up with mixed emotions, one side of me is excited and raring to go. The other side is fearful and scared, weighed down by the size of my ambition and the pressure I feel.

There are no easy answers — no simple solutions to this age-old problem.

Nobody said it would be easy. If you want to live the life of your dreams, then don’t expect each day to be without challenge or sacrifice.

Pain and discomfort are part of your journey. They make you tougher, they build your character, they shape your experience, and ultimately, they will define your success.

The lessons you learn in the dark times give you the very skills that will shine so brightly when your moment comes, and you stand atop the mountain.

Take pleasure in the journey, relish those hard times, welcome them with open arms. They hold the key to your future.

Together, we climb the mountain, not in giant leaps but one small step at a time.
