FRIDAYTHOUGHTS #290: WANT CHANGE? DO THE WORK

I know - work is a four-letter word. But it’s necessary.

Working hard is necessary. You’ve heard the verse: Faith without works is dead. And it’s true. But hear me—just doing the work isn’t enough. It has to be the right work. The kind that aligns with a proven framework. That’s how real change happens.

When you put your hands to something meaningful and move in alignment with faith and strategy, transformation becomes inevitable. It’s not about just grinding aimlessly—it’s about working intelligently, with intention and clarity.

And when you want something badly enough? You’ll either find it…or you’ll build it.

It’s a choice.

Sometimes, life will take you all the way down before it lifts you up. And that’s not always a bad thing. Rock bottom builds kingdoms. Pain is just a messenger telling you it’s time to pivot. When you finally get sick and tired of being sick and tired, that’s when the breakthrough begins.

You either get better, or you get bitter.

If you’re reading this, I know which one you choose.

Let the discomfort you’re facing fuel your discipline. Let it push you into daily habits that build momentum. And no—it’s not about home runs. It’s about the small, consistent, “unsexy” steps you take every day. That’s what creates the compound interest that moves mountains.

That’s where real progress lives.

That’s where joy lives.

When you truly know who you are, when you go deep into the beautiful rabbit hole of self-discovery, you stop blaming others. You stop wishing you were someone else. You realize you’ve been the gift this entire time.

If you want something to change—you have to change. And when you do, everything around you shifts.

It won’t happen overnight. But it will happen over time.

So take the step. Then take it again tomorrow. Before you know it, you’ll look back and be shocked at how far you’ve come.

You are the gift you’ve been waiting on tgis entire time. 

P.S. I applaud the work you’re doing.

You’re needed. You have what people need, continue doing the inner/outer work to give it to them. 

Have an incredible weekend…on purpose. ❤️
