BEHIND THE SCENES.

When you choose the benefits of an action, you also choose the drawbacks.
If you want to be an author, you can't only choose the finished novel and book signings. You are also choosing months of lonely typing. If you want to be a bodybuilder, you can't only choose the fit body and attention. You are also choosing the boring meals and calorie counting.

You have to want the lifestyle, not just the outcomes. Otherwise, it doesn't make any sense being jealous. The results of success are usually public and highly visible, but the process behind success is often private and hidden from view. It's easy to want the public rewards, but also have to want the hidden costs.

True dedication means embracing the sacrifices, setbacks, and sacrifices that come with your goals. It’s about finding fulfillment in the daily grind, not just in the end result. Only then can you genuinely appreciate the journey and stay motivated through the inevitable challenges. Success isn’t just about achieving a goal; it’s about committing to the process and accepting everything that comes with it.
