Enjoy The “Suck”

We toyed with “toning down” the title of this post, but this wording really says it all. 

What, you might ask, is the “suck”?  The suck is the hard, it’s the challenging, it’s the part of every dream that forces us to push through our own self-imposed limits and be more than we think we are capable of.

In short, it’s the part of every journey that makes us all slow down for a second and say “this sucks”.

But the “suck” is the most important part of the journey.  The “suck” is what guarantees that when we do acheive our Vision we will be worthy of it and capable of treating it with the respect that it deserves.   It is the furnace in which the sharpest swords are forged, and only the strong survive it.  “Get Its”  are the strongest.

If you think about it, you will easily see that we’re on to something.  Name one top-teir athlete who doesn’t have a slightly “psychotic” workout routine; or one hugely successful businessman who didn’t “pay their dues” in either the mailroom or through very difficult failures;  or a famous movie director who hasn’t spent hours learning the most mundane parts of editing, lighting, or cinematography.  The journey towards your Perfect Life will take you through places that aren’t always joyful;  but the Get Its of the world learn to extract as much as they possibly can from the difficult times so that their Perfect Life will be that much sweeter.

So when you hit the “suck”, dig in, enjoy it, take a demented pleasure in it.  It will become one of your most valuable memories when you break through and reach your Perfect Life.

The Gurus of Get It!
