Yes to all of this! I think it’s so easy to see a “successful” person (whatever that means") and think that they no longer have to struggle or claw to get what they want. That once someone publishes a book, they can just keep going. That once someone has a following, they can just create a product. That once someone has clients, there’s a line around the block waiting to work with them.

But even the most successful still have setback and struggles, and that’s probably what keeps them successful — they keep overcoming them.

And it’s so funny how, in retrospect, I was getting closer and closer and closer, and that ended up being where the mental games seemed most difficult.
