People try to tell me I should rest more.
People try to tell me I should take a break.
People try to tell me I should slow down.
People try to tell me to “live a little”.
And I am! Living a LOT, honestly. Living more than I ever have before.
The thing they don’t realize about me, about US, is that this hustle? This stuff we do everyday that looks like WORK to everyone else?
Actually IS us living and being HAPPY.
Doing what we do best.
Being who we truly are.
Getting paid to share our gifts with the world.
We don’t have to slave away in an office, in a cubicle jail cell, in ANY PLACE, because we know we can do better than that. We know we ARE better than taking orders from someone else (BLECH, as IF we would let someone try and boss US around!).
We have this thing called PASSION. This thing called getting it the fuck DONE. This thing called craving the RESULTS. And doing what it takes to GET those results.
It’s actually next to impossible for us to rest.
It makes us feel restless, gross and even PISSED OFF.
We just wanna CREATE! We just wanna SELL! We just wanna be US!
And so we do.
The words “rest”, “break” and “slow down” just aren’t in our vocabulary. They make our skin crawl, honestly.
The fact of the matter is, the HUSTLE is what gets us up in the morning. We LIVE for the hustle. Would die for the hustle! Cannot, WILL NOT live without it! Always going, always making things happen, feeling sorry for those that are slowing down and “taking it easy” and “resting”.
Wishing that they would just GET how much more they would receive if they would see the light!
But that is impossible, and so of course, we just keep doing our thing. Showing up, getting shit done, expecting (and receiving) miracles, manifesting money and clients and connections out of THIN AIR.
Experiencing things that once seemed like a far-away dream. Something “other” people got to experience. Definitely not us.
And now, we KNOW.
We GET IT.
We see!
That we, too, can have, do, be, experience, any god damn thing we want!
THAT is exactly why we love the hustle.
THAT is exactly why we despise the breaks, the slowing down, the resting.
Because we want to get there FASTER.
We want to get there right fucking NOW.
And hustle is how we get there.
So we get it done! We love getting it done. And quite frankly, it’s never done, which we also love. Because us creators would go insane if we were DONE!
Knowing what we want and going after it with EVERYTHING we’ve got?
That’s just in our DNA. We can’t NOT go after it. We can’t NOT do the hustle. Put in the work. Grind it out.
It’s in us. It IS us.
I used to think there was something wrong with me for wanting to work all the time. I would feel embarassed when I was out and about with family or friends and counting down the minutes until I could get home to my laptop. I felt guilty when I was sitting around with people and spend half the time on my phone.
And then I met YOU.
And I knew that I wasn’t alone. I knew that there were others just like me. Women that loved the hustle as much as I did, who never EVER wanted to stop!
We’ve gotten used to the glares when we’re on our phones at family get-togethers.
We’ve gotten used to ignoring others that simply don’t GET us and want to make us feel guilty for being who we are.
We’ve gotten used to doing things our way, despite how it makes other people feel.
We’ve gotten used to being US. And we kind of love us.
Keep in mind –
This is your time. Take action NOW. Fuck what anyone else things!
