„Good things will happen to those who hustle“

Ahh isn’t this quote just beautiful… wouldn’t live be so much easier. Nowadays so many people believe in this hustle spirit, that they completely lose their sense of reality. Look I don’t blame those people, in fact I can truly understand why they think so. For instance with Instagram everything seems possible and that’s a BIG problem. What most people don’t understand that 99% of all Instagram users are self staging on Instagram, only showing off their Highlights.

As a result success is more visible in everyday live, than failure. Therefore people are strategically overestimating their chances of success. They get so used to their daydreaming, that they completly leave reality out of sight. I mean its totally normal to be more comfortable with with pleasant thoughts rather than with unpleasant, but its really important to see the bigger picture.

With all that been said I am NOT saying you shouldn’t work hard towards your goals. However I am just suggesting that you should take some time to evaluate the situation or Idea and then decide whether or not you’re willing to take those risks. When you have a goal you should not only be focusing on the life you could have, but more on those struggles that you will have to go through to get to this point. This will make life so much easier!
