It takes everyone a different amount of time to realize that confidence can't be bought.
At least, not true confidence.
True confidence must be earned through taking action, generating evidence, and following through with your commitments.
Before you set ambitious goals for yourself, first consider the lifestyle it will take to achieve that goal.
You can’t wish for the destination and not be willing to make the climb.
When you find the right partner, compromise doesn't feel like sacrifice.
When you find the right work, effort doesn't feel like struggle.
It's still hard. You just stop resenting it.
