Please put in the work to be successful

Normalize years in the making. 

Not overnight success. 

I’m 25 now but I started drawing religiously since I was 9. 

When I posted my art on Instagram last week, the comments said I was talented. 

I don’t see it that way. 

It took me 16 years and a lot of ugly sketches to get to that level of “talent” 

I’d imagine the process will be the same for you and whatever your thing is. 

I’d imagine your hard earned success to have taken a lot of grit and time and effort. 

So if you’re just starting out, please be patient and continue to put in the work.
