I've been thinking a lot about what it truly means to chase a dream or a goal, especially after realizing a critical truth: when you choose the benefits of an action, you inherently choose its drawbacks too.
For instance, if you dream of being an RPG author, it's not just about the thrill of publishing your work and signing books. You're also signing up for long, lonely hours in front of your computer, wrestling with words and plotlines.
This duality of success reminds us that achieving anything significant requires embracing both the glamorous and the gritty aspects of the journey. The visible rewards are enticing, but the behind-the-scenes effort is substantial and often overlooked.
