Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. 

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. 

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. 

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

― Calvin Coolidge

I'd guess it depends on what phase of life you are in. Hustling is great if you have nothing else to focus on. Some people like the grind, but as we get older, that isn't as attractive.

A crucial piece of this is pace.  I’m over hustling.  Showing up everyday and making incremental progress towards my goals has proven to be 10x more effective than burning myself out.
