Reaping The Benefits

We want to reach the result without having to endure the hard work that will get us there. We want to speed up the process and fast forward to a time when we don't have to suffer, to a time when we are relaxing on the beach on some tropical island sipping on a caiprihina. I want to skip this process of literally exerting blood and sweat with 11 hour manual labour days running on 5 hours sleep and no breakfast - experiencing dizzy spells and getting my ass raped by control-freak erratic bosses experiencing mid life crisis and taking it out on the young and sexy.
I dont want to be responsible for completing the tasks I wasn't trained to do and being blamed for it when shit hits the fan. I get in trouble for 'being so slow' for something I'm doing for the first time. I skip breaks and power through the day to get shit done, and I go home fucking exhausted.
I work fucking hard because I have begun at the bottom of the ladder. Lately, this experience has not been pleasurable. On Tuesday I was so stressed out because the girl training me called in sick and I had to pack 19 boxes x 15 kgs of shoes, create stock transfer receipts book in-state and interstate couriers, move stock around to fit in the stock on the floor. The manager was grilling me on the phone to the point where I held the phone away from my ear like I do with mum. She wanted it done in 2hours. I broke down. She knew I was upset and she backed off.
Hard work and suffering.
I wanna fast forward to the time when I'm sipping on a caiprihina on a tropical island, sitting by a swimming pool in a tight white dress, hair healthy and curled, 3 million dollar mansion with white walls, furniture and floor to ceiling windows letting in the yellow sun. I want to cash in my chips at the casino and walk away with the millions. I want to travel the world so it will be summer all year around. I dont want to wake up at 6am and sleep at 12am.
Why must I tire myself to achieve this? The process is a test that only the strong and determine can endure. Those who pass the test are deserving. Your end result is so great that not just anyone can have.
Reaping the benefits without going through the process? Impossible. I'm gonna stop complaining about how tired I am at work. I'm not gonna feel sorry for myself anymore. Gotta power on like the gun that I am, BITCH.
You can get to anything you want.
If you find yourself making excuses,
you obviously don't want it that bad.
