ADWOA PHILOSOPHY VOL.2 BOOK

YOU KNOW, THEY SAY THE HARDEST THING IS GETTING STARTED.
I DEFINITELY AGREE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ONTO THAT BY SAYING THE SECOND HARDEST THING IS CONTINUING LIKE IT’S DAY 1, WHEN YOU’RE ON DAY 78.

WHEN THAT INITIAL DOPAMINE HIT WEARS OFF.
WHEN THOSE EARLY GAINS, THE MOST DRAMATIC ONES, START TO FEEL LIKE YOUR NORM.
WHEN PEOPLE STOP PRAISING YOU FOR TAKING THE PATH, BECAUSE IT’S JUST YOUR NEW IDENTITY NOW.

CAN YOU STILL DO IT LIKE YOU LOVE IT?
CAN YOU DO IT WHEN NOBODY IS WATCHING?
CAN YOU DO IT WHEN IT ACTUALLY FEELS AS IF YOU’RE GOING BACKWARDS INSTEAD OF FORWARDS?
CAN YOU DO IT ON A RAINY, COLD TUESDAY NIGHT AWAY AT STOKE?

THIS IS WHERE THE REAL GROWTH HAPPENS.
LESS FUN AND MORE STUDY.
LESS OF WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL WARM AND FUZZY.
LESS OF WHAT CONFIRMS TO YOURSELF HOW GREAT YOU ALREADY ARE.

NOW WE BEGIN PEELING BACK A FEW SCABS AND LOOKING AT SOME UGLY TRUTHS.
THIS IS WHERE PERSISTENCE AND PERSEVERANCE BEGIN.

By Danny Agyemang & Jack Harper.
