Fuck The Breaks

It’s so sad to see people that are still poor, that haven’t achieved their dreams yet but they still get home and watch a two-hour movie only because their McDonald's job tired them too much. You can’t do such a thing if you want to make shit happen.

Don’t get me wrong, some movies are all cool, I like to watch them now and then, and some even helped me a lot but if you still don’t enjoy your life entirely, if you’re just at the beginning of your journey you cannot afford to take breaks like that.

Let’s make some basic math, let’s say that you sleep the golden standard of seven hours per night and after you wake up it takes you one hour to get ready, those are eight hours already. Another two hours for commuting plus eight of work, that’s eighteen hours already eaten up.

So you remain with around six hours but if you spend some of that time with the family, your loved ones, probably taking a shower or doing some preparation for the next day you only remain with four or five hours.

Your program might be different, but this is a general program so for the sake of simplicity I’ll stick with this one. Let’s say that you only have five hours left in a day; you cannot afford to spend two of them just to take a break, you have to keep on fucking going even if you’re tired.

Fuck Relaxation

Look, if you already achieved your grand purpose, if you’re in a happy place you can take some breaks, watch a movie now and then but if you just began you cannot afford that.

In life most of the great things come at the expense of something else, having a girlfriend/wife means that you can’t fuck other people, having a house means that you cannot move anymore and pursuing success means that you cannot fuck around and waste your time.

The reservation of energy for later is mostly false, you can keep on going, and you will still have energy, I’ve done it, I’m not special at all, and you can do it too.

Don’t get me wrong, if you worked for eight hours nonstop in the factory or some hardcore shit like that, taking a thirty-minute break is good. Mainly if you watch a workshop or something that can help you in the field, you want to excel but to see a full movie because you want to relax it's just a waste of time.

You have to understand that your time is your most precious asset because it’s also your most limited so if you’re on a path right now you have to take care of it at any expense. Fuck it; I took it to the next level once, I even broke up with my girlfriend, even if she was all great and everything. Only because she wanted too much attention and I wanted to focus all of my time on Steem since I was in the beginning, but it is well worth it now.

You have to pay the price for greatness; you don’t have to break up with your girlfriend, cutting lose all the trivial stuff from your life that only steals your precious time should be enough.

What Now?

Even if you have enough time now if you maximize your day and got rid of all the worthless shit, you’re not done, this is only the beginning.

Now you have to put in the work, you will get lazy sometimes, but you will have to push yourself out of that state and still do it. To give you an example, at the time I’m writing this post, I know that tomorrow it’s going to be a busy day for me and that I won’t be able to write anything, so I decided to prepare something. Even if I was lazy, I somehow got to write four posts.

If what you want is the success on Steem, you will have to work more than anyone that joined around the same time like you. In those five hours per day you will have to make a shitload of comments, to prepare posts and to talk with other Steemians on the chats, so only you can attain success one year from now.

You will have to sacrifice some things, but it will be well worth it in the end.
