@yi.1in: Often times we forget that. MrBeast used to have 1 subscriber. The Rock was down to his last $7 in his pocket. The founders of Airbnb were renting out air mattresses in their living room just to make rent. Every single person at the top of their game was once a beginner who just refused to quit when things got heavy. We see the final product—the white coat, the success, the dream reality—but we don't see the years of absolute exhaustion, the doubt, and the late nights behind closed doors. If you're in the trenches right now, keep showing up. The version of you a few years from now is relying on it.
