This morning, while captaining the carpool to middle school, a local DJ on one of my favorite radio stations (93.3 if you must know) dropped a great fact.
Matt Maeson, who sings the song “Cringe” (which was a #1 Billboard song this summer), started his music career playing at an open-mic night at a Chick-Fil-A.
Big leap from playing in front of people enjoying chicken sandwich combos to sold out ampitheater shows.
The point is…
Sometimes the work we need to do to push forward will make us cringe. (See what I did there?)
We are not in control of TIMING.
We are in control of POSITIONING.
Put in the work to do what we love to do.
When timing happens, big breakthroughs ocurr.
If they haven’t happened yet, don’t give youreslf an excuse to quit or to stop. Keep “grinding,” work hard, be inspired to do what you want to do because you WANT to do it, not for the results down-the-line.
Grind on my friends!
