Chasing your goals is hard.

It seems that there is disappointment around almost every corner. Each time you feel as if you’re making any kind of progress, another challenge or set back shows up which you then have to overcome and find an alternative solution to.

Yes, building the life of your dreams is a stressful journey — I guess that’s why only a select few ‘make it’.

There will be times when you wanna just jack it all in. Call it quits. Accept defeat and join the rest of the world, running along, stuck in the rat race.

Working a steady 9–5 job —one that is less than fulfilling but it pays the bills — with your focus solely on the weekend ahead where you can forget your Monday-Friday existence for two messily days before repeating the cycle all over again.

Sounds thrilling, doesn't it?

Or

You can stick at it. Never give up on your dreams and keep pressing on, knowing that one day you will achieve your goals.

But what if I’m putting in all this work and getting nowhere?
