Perseverance Through Strife

by Mario A. Campanaro

Sometimes, you will need to walk through your very own Hades to reach your own Utopia. You may endure a lot, and at times, you may find yourself suffering. But if you keep persevering, stay focused on what you want, continue believing in what you're doing, and simply refuse to give up, you will find that all the hardship pays forward, bringing something profoundly fulfilling into your life. There may be moments when you feel like crying because it hurts so much, and other times when you'll laugh with joy because you made it through. Once you make it out of that fire, you will finally see all the beauty hidden within the ashes.

Each of us has our own story of strife and struggle, but we also all have the potential for a deserving and awe-inspiring victory. Dear artist, you are more powerful than you have been led to believe. The only way to lose sight of your dream is by simply giving up on it. So, do not give up. You and your dreams are essential to this world and this lifetime. Continue to invest the necessary sweat equity into making your dreams happen. Remember, you get what you put into your dreams. The (YOU)niverse simply meets you where you are and responds accordingly.

Get your dreams out of the dream-state and work hard to turn them into your reality. Your talent can only take you as far as the professional accountability you maintain to do something with it. Remain accountable, responsible, dependable, open, mindful, and creative. Remain as strong as a gladiator, yet as vulnerable as a child. Remain hungry for your craft, driven by your work, and stay a student of life. Stay on purpose, focused, conscious, and questioning. Be present and on time (preferably early). Remain hardworking but free of unnecessary tension.

Remain business-savvy, professional, and respectful. Remain compassionate, understanding, and empathic. Be self-nurturing. Remain perseverant and patiently impatient as you stay on the path toward the dreams that your heart and soul intend to experience.
