Keep doing the work.

Talk and hype and fads and FOMO and the endless churn and outrage and influencers and celebrities and controversy and distractions don't move the needle. They don't change things; work does, effort does, persistence does, workers do.

One motivated, persistent person can do with their hands what no number of talkers ever could: they can change things. That we are here, on this platform, with these tools is conclusive proof.

Keep doing the work.

Things don't get better by appealing to some external force, be it gods or self-styled lords or masters or spirits or mystical forces or faults in our stars or inherent justice in the world. Justice exists because we make it, and only if we choose to. There are no demons, save the ones we choose to become.

The only magic, the only power to change things that ever has existed is in your hands and minds.

Keep doing the work.

Nobody is coming to save us. There is no eschaton, no rapture or revolution or singularity or end of history or return to a mythical original paradise that will right all the wrongs. That's a long wait on a train that's not coming.

There is only the long, hard road out of darkness, with all of its setbacks, disappointments, hardships, and hopelessness. The only thing that has ever worked is to keep going, against all obstacles.

Keep doing the work.

Life isn't a tabletop RPG. You aren't born with a list of numbers and stats that decide your destiny. Skill comes from effort, time, and dedication alone. You stand there, punching trees, until you can knock them down; it's that simple.

Ignore the people who tell you you'll never be "a genius". Ignore the people who memorize trendy buzzwords and play language games with them. Ignore anyone who doesn't put in the effort and time; they're faking it anyway.

Keep doing the work.

Do what you can, where you can, however you can, as much as you can, for as long as you can.

But keep doing the work.
