Sometimes life is not all rainbows, happiness and inspirational quotes.
As much as t should be happiness, passion, fulfillment and purpose that drives you, sometimes you just have to suck it up and work hard at something you'd rather not be doing.
Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do, to make ends meet. You have to spend all weekend at your crappy waitressing job, you have to study a subject you hate into the early hours of the morning, you have to watch wile others set off on their travels while you're stuck at home.
Sometimes you have to put your long term self before your short term self..
Don't rob yourself of an amazing future by making decisions that only benefit your short term self.
Suck it up, stick it out, and do what you need to do.
Keep looking at the light at the end of the tunnel. Think about how good it will feel when you accomplish this goal. Funnily enough, finishing something you hate seems to feel so much more satisfying.
The thing about life is that things don't just get handed to you. They take work. Blood, sweat and tears. But it doesn't mean that what you're working towads isn't worth it. It doesn't mean that quitting is the answer.
It's a damn hard balance, but you have to find it.
I know I usually like to talk to all you ladies about the importance of being passionate and changing things in your life to make you happy. But sometimes that happiness comes from the achievement of a goal, a goal that felt like an eternal grind. It'd be misleading to tell you otherwise.
So give yourself a pat on the back, and maybe a break, but don't give up.
You'll thank YOURSELF later.
