Start When It’s Hard

The hardest part isn't the work. It's convincing yourself to start when everything

inside you says stay down. That quiet morning when you're staring at nothing,

feeling like every effort you've made has led nowhere. That's the moment that defines everything.

Most people quit right there. They let the weight win. They tell themselves

tomorrow will be different, but tomorrow never comes. But you're not most

people. Because the fact that you're still here, still thinking about

it, still feeling that pull to be more means you haven't given up.

Here's what nobody tells you. Progress doesn't feel like progress when you're in it.
