It's easy to see the success of others and think that they have faced no difficulty getting to their achievements. It's low-hanging fruit to focus on the shine of it all and assume it came without obstacle.
Sometimes we don't bother to take into consideration the snags and pitfalls that they have faced and overcome along the way. It is rarely a straight line to a goal, and most likely, it resembles a maze of decisions.
But like all things, there is a process that gives birth to the growth of success, and it happens just beneath the waters' surface. Just like the iceberg, on the surface looking majestic, while the weight of the situation rests just underneath. There are sleepless nights, constant brainstorming, and plenty of sweat that goes into every inch viewed on top.
With hard work and dedication, as well as having the fortitude to overcome obstacles and disappointment, making sacrifices where they must be made, and all the while still having the persistence and courage to push through just when you're about to give up, makes the difference between success and failure.
Don't give up! You are closer than ever before.
