Sometimes when things in life get hard I just want to throw in the towel. My passion for what I do on Akwiyah and the way I choose to do it is what keeps me going. I constantly remind myself: The bridge between reality and the dream is hard work - consistent, unrelenting hard work. I read the the words below and they struck are definitely words to live by. Nothing great comes easy. I will continue to strive even harder to make this blog better for myself and every single viewer that visits this little space of mine.
“There is something in our culture that says your dream or the thing you’re pursuing has to happen immediately and all at once, and that is destructive to the creative spirit. I just embraced the idea that this was going to be a gradual exploration of the thing I was interested in...American Culture is the overnight success and "right now" mentality it's just destructive, and we should resist it and go our own way" - Ava Duvernay“A lot of times young girls are impatient and they want it to happen so quickly…They try it and if it’s not happening fast enough they move on to something else. But that something else that they move on to isn’t necessarily their passion. They couldn’t be patient anymore and obviously we all need money and you want something stable, but I always say ride it out because when you’re doing something that you actually love, you’re going to enjoy going to work every day.”- Kahlana Barfield, InStyle Editor
