“Entrepreneurship is enduring pain for a long time without relinquishing.”
Dan Pena
What separates the winners and those who perish along the road to success sometimes is as simple as who was able to survive the longest.
Sometimes, a war of attrition occurs and weeds out those who want it bad enough from those who don’t.
50 Cent phrased it in a good way - “Get rich or Die Trying”
Sometimes, to die would be much easier than to continue to suffer daily in pursuit of your goals while the world is seemingly telling you that it’s not meant to be.
It takes superhuman conviction in order to stay in the ring while life is dealing blow after blow.
Quitting becomes the easy escape and the logical choice.
For some odd reason, the universe tends to reward those who won’t back down, regardless of the circumstances.
It’s almost as if the universe wants to see if your will is strong enough to bend reality.
Those who don’t surrender despite their grueling journey win the grand prize in the end.
How long can you endure pain to make your dreams come true?
