Focus

I have the knowledge. Yes, and what knowledge is that? I mean, besides the fact that I have so much to learn. Besides the fact that I really don’t know much of anything…. Besides the fact that I keep gaining knowledge…

what am I referring to here specifically?

This is Knowledge by Robert Reid

I am referring to this hard, bitter truth: It’s Not Easy.

I have done plenty of research on plenty of writers from John Grisham to Stephen King to Chuck Palahniuk to Toni Morrison to J.K Rowling and you name it! Yes, and almost all of them did face their share of hardship.

Do we struggle to get to the top?

There are plenty of standard, successful writers out there. You see them everywhere.  Yes, but I am talking about The Cool. Yes, and it’s really cool, to be honest with you.

“If you are what you say you then have no fear.” – Lupe Fiasco

That’s hard to do, yes, but please, face your fear and go!  Use your brain first. Then, go and do it! You will win that way, truly.

The truth is, most people fail because they give up. Don’t give up.  What is learning anyway?  It’s easy: just keep doing it and don’t quit. Just start from where you are and don’t be afraid to outwork anyone else. At the end of the day, all you have is yourself and the work you’ve done. What’s it worth otherwise? You’re going to chase after what else? The reality is, no one but you will truly care about you…

So, work. Yes, and all good things will come your way.

Yes, because in all honesty, give up on things that fuck you over. Like worrying about your performance, or what others think of you, or fear of failure, or any other bad habit…

Love. Love. Love. – That is the soul of genius! It’s Easy! Who said that? Mozart!

In other news, restrain yourself. Cultivate discipline and practice mindfulness. There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

Karma is action. You reap what you sow. Karma is destiny, and you get what you work for! So persist and keep it going.
