Success feels easy when you are on the right track

The truth about struggle and progress

People told you that success requires blood and tears, suffering, and sacrifices. Gary Vee will often say that you need to grind for years before you are successful. Well, that is not true. I will make my case for the opposite in this article and in the end, you can decide for yourself.

What do you mean success feels easy?

You may feel offended by the word easy, so let me explain. I do not mean that you can have success by just binge-watching Netflix and hoping to receive a check in the post. I do not mean you do not have to work. Neither that you will not face any difficulties or obstacles.

Easy in this context means:

• You do work you enjoy so much it does not feel like hard work. You are often in-flow, losing track of time.
• From early on, you make progress, hit success milestones, and opportunities come your way.

“Working hard for something we do not care about is called stress. Working hard about something we love is called passion.” Simon Sinek
