Chris Pratt's still humble about all of his success.
The actor took to Instagram on Wednesday, to share a sincere message with his fans about following your dreams.
In the caption, Pratt reflects on some the harder times he's been through, noting that at one point when he couldn't even afford food or gas, he never lost hope.
"I am doing what I love," he posted with a photo of him driving through Atlanta. "It doesn't feel like work. Even though it is. I'm having fun. I'm overcome with joy and gratitude."
"I felt like posting this to say to anyone out there chasing your dream... Fifteen years ago I felt the same passion I feel today, but I had very little opportunity. I had to hustle hard and go hungry. I had to eat sardines and figure out how to get gas money. And I never had a plan B. I never stopped believing. Ever. Don't give up. Apply constant pressure for as long as it takes. It will break before you do. Go get it."
This isn't the first time the "Guardians of the Galaxy" star has taken a moment to reflect on his long and hard rise to fame.
Pratt also shared a shot on the social media site of a van he lived out of when he was homeless to celebrate #FlashbackFriday back in 2014.

"Can't believe I found this picture!!! That is the van I lived in!!! In my hand is the script for the movie that got me out of Maui. Crazy," he captioned the candid snap.
The "Parks & Recreation" star also told The Whoolywood Shuffle show that while he lived in the van he would smoke weed and listen to Dr. Dre in between serving tables at night and going door-to-door as a salesman during the day, before landing his first Hollywood gig.
