“There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.”
– Beverly Sills
The secret to success is that shortcuts don’t exist.
You can work harder to go faster. You can spend more to make more.
But you can’t cheat.
The secret is that there is no secret.
That path ahead is the path ahead — exactly as it seems and exactly as you’d expect.
Painful. Difficult. And rewarding if you stick with it.
Don’t overcomplicate the next step.
Do the thing.
Do it again.
Do it for so long — and so relentlessly — that the universe has to pay attention.
“Slowly is the fastest way to get to where you want to be.” – Andre De Shields
