The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why - Neil Degrasse Tyson

We are going on two years now since you made the decision to begin this journey. The road has been filled with both success and rejection, it's honestly surprising that you've stuck with it this long. Although, since you have, I thought it would be a good idea to remind you why your in this fight. There have been tons of letters written since this thing began... To your family, to your children, to humanity... Now I am writing this letter for you. I don't care if not a single person reads this besides you because your the only one it was made for. Everyone else is not my concern, they have people watching out for them; I'm here to watch out for you.

Do you remember when you first decided to walk this path? Do you remember all of the people who laughed at you or told you to think twice about it? Do you remember how that made you feel? That's when you decided that, no matter what happened, you would do it... And so you started on this journey, the one you're still on today.

In the beginning, you found out that you weren't as good at your passion as you thought you were. You may have had potential but you still had a massive amount of room to grow. Now, you have time invested into this; you have some momentum going. Yeah there might have been some rejection, so what if you had to take a few steps back? Now your moving, your feeling it, you've got a groove going, finally.

Remember how you feel right now because there will come a time when the adrenaline fades. There will come a time when something will go wrong yet again and everything will come crashing back down around you. These moments are inevitable and if you fail to remain focused they will crush you. Before you allow them to, read this; read this three times back to back and then get back to it. Get back to beating on your craft, over and over again, until it's the best it can possibly be. We both know what will happen if you don't.

Are you really willing to die knowing you were always mediocre? Because I promise that nothing will ever change if you give up now. Worse case scenario you'll plummet back down to rock bottom; best case scenario you'll stay right where you're at. Is that what you put all this time in to do? If it is then just admit to yourself that your a quitter and move on. That's what you'll live as and it's what your going to die as too. So how about we turn down that route? Lets keep this ball rolling and see where it takes us instead. Dig deep right now and keep pushing to prove to the entire world that you are capable of everything you said you were.

Things are not going to get any easier, in fact, they should only get harder the further you make it. You didn't get in this game for easy, you got in it to reach the top. Every step forward, every inch gained, has been to go down in history. Not a lot of people have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to do that but you do. Obviously your going to have to fight for it, going to need to put in the work. That's why you have to stay focused... and remember why you started this in the first place.

You want your life to mean something... something that will stick around long after your gone. The moment you figured out how you could do that, you went straight to work. Now, as you read this today, you need to remember to keep working. Keep fighting, one foot in front of the other, one battle at a time. And if you decide to look back, do so only to remember where your going. Remember what you want your life to be, keep in mind who your doing this for. You're stronger then they thought but even stronger then you thought also. So get that through your head, get back on your feet and please don't ever stop.
