LPT: Before making a life-changing decision, don't ask, "How exciting is the beginning?" Ask, "What does the ending look like?"
Most people imagine the first chapter:
\- The excitement of a new career.
\- Starting a business.
\- Moving to another country.
\- Following a passion.
Few picture the last chapter:
\- How long will it take before you're actually employable or profitable?
\- What if it takes years instead of months?
\- Can your finances survive the journey?
\- Will your family support it?
\- Can your mental health handle the uncertainty?
\- If you succeed, will you still enjoy doing it every day?
Motivation gets you started.
A realistic plan, sustainable effort, and risk management get you to the finish line.
Don't judge a decision by how exciting it is to begin. Judge it by whether you're willing and able to live through everything between the beginning and the ending.
Think about the end game before taking the first step. #entertainment
