Being The Best Version Of You Sometimes Means 11

1. Saying stuff not everybody will like.
2. Being out-of-synch with the crowd.
3. Getting up early.
4. Scaring the sh*t out of yourself with the decisions you have made.
5. Writing when you don’t feel like writing.
6. Asking again and again. And again.
7. Suffering periods of angst and loneliness.
8. Forcing three more press-ups when the arms are already burning like mad.
9. Questioning the path you have chosen. Every damn day.
10. Having only crunchy peanut butter and toast to eat for a week.
11. But: it will be worth it. Emotionally, financially, spiritually.
