Struggle is the road.
Kobe knew it. Chris Bosh said it. Most ignore it.
We idolize the highlight reel, but the grind is the unspoken price of admission.
The early mornings, late nights, sore muscles, and tired minds.
That’s where champions are made.
Most quit because struggle feels like failure.
It isn’t.
It’s proof you’re doing the work others won’t.
Falling in love with the grind is the cheat code.
Embrace the brutal parts, and you’ll outlast those who chose to exit early.
Ask yourself, “Would I keep going if the reward was five years away? Ten? Never?”
Love for the process makes the outcome irrelevant.
Success becomes inevitable because you’re doing it for the right reason.
Look at your peers. Most are sprinting, hoping for quick wins.
You’re here for the marathon. The struggle is your advantage, your separator.
The fun isn’t the goal—it’s the love for the work.
How many would quit right now? Most. That’s your edge.
“Loving the process turns adversity into advantage.” – Mike Brewer
