Overview:
In this week’s Motivational Monday, Kasdyn Click delivers a raw and real message to creators, entrepreneurs, and dreamers who feel like giving up. This article isn’t about perfection. It’s about persistence. With nods to the grit of content creators like Katie Feeney, the rise of icons like Tom Brady and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and support from community partners like Flywheel, Monster Stick, SIZZLE POP, Animal Adoption Day, and the Northeast CT Community Resource Fair, this piece reminds us all: a nobody isn’t going to change the world.
Yeah, I know.
This isn’t exactly what you thought it would be.
You thought by now it would feel better,
You thought it would feel cleaner, smoother, more calming,
You thought once you got here—wherever “here” is—it’d click.
But you’re here.
And it’s messy,
And different,
And kind of quiet,
And a little lonely.
But don’t forget—you wanted this your whole life.
Since you were a kid, you’ve wanted to matter.
You wanted to build something.
To create,
To lead,
To feel purpose,
To not just sit in the background and watch everyone else do it.
You’re here now. You made it.
You earned this.
And now the hard part shows up.
You Can Quit Anytime. That’s the Catch.
You’re allowed to quit.
You can walk away today and no one would stop you.
You can tell people you changed your mind, or “it wasn’t working out,” or it just got too hard. And most people would nod and say “I get it.”
But here’s the thing:
You’ll know.
It doesn’t matter.
Just give up.
No one cares.
And you’ll wonder—what if I held on just a little longer?
Everyone Deals With It. Every Single One.
Katie Feeney?
She’s been posting online her whole life—people think it’s easy, but it is work. It is consistency. It is the connections and being relatable.
Arnold Schwarzenegger?
They said he couldn’t act. Said he’d never make it. His accent was “too much,” his name was “too long,” his muscles were “a gimmick.” He did it anyway.
Tom Brady?
You think seven Super Bowls makes life simple? No. He’s still dealing with expectations, critics, personal stuff, all of it.
Every level has its shadows,
Every dream has resistance,
Every rise comes with rumors, trolls, and self-doubt.
You Could Step Back. Be a Nobody.
You could.
You could go silent.
Pull the plug.
Stop chasing the idea.
Let someone else take your spot.
You’d be more relaxed. For a while.
But, you know:
A nobody isn’t going to change the world.
And you didn’t come this far just to blend in.
You didn’t sacrifice all those nights, those risks, those losses—just to quietly fold when things got uncomfortable.
You are literally right here because you didn’t give up before.
Why start now?
Final Thought
You’re not crazy for feeling overwhelmed.
You’re not wrong for having doubts.
But you are strong enough to keep going.
And one day—soon—someone’s going to ask you how you did it.
