How Hard Are You Working for Your Dreams?

  • by Mark V
  • November 10, 2011

I recently started a new job where I work 8 to 9 hours a day. Have a hour and twenty minute commute each way, and come home to work on personal projects until 1:30am, to wake up at 7am to work on my project for a hour, and do it all over again.

My long commute is temporary, but my hard work ethic will be forever.

No one is going to create opportunities for me. So I’m going to fight for the things I want. I hope your fighting for the things you want and not making any excuses for not succeeding.

I mentioned a project that I was working on called Simple Life Tool over a year ago, and I’m still working on it almost daily. The project has not gone as fast as I wanted at all, but I blame no one but myself for that. But I continue to work hard, and I’m happy where I stand with it today, because it’s getting closer to where I want it to be. I have came across a number of people who have inspired me, and pushed me to become a better person, and that can be seen in my project.

I have made soooooooo many mistakes, but each one of them is a learning experience, and I’m better because of them.

Fight for what you want!

Fight for your dreams

    True story right here.

    In the end, we are the ultimate decision makers. Hard work and dedication is what makes opportunities happen and dreams come alive. If you keep striving and pushing, eventually something HAS to happen. Always believe in yourself and never let anyone tell you different.

    Couldn’t agree more homie. I’ve had that quote up on my wall for a while and truer words have never been said.
