Keep Showing Up.

Keep showing up. It’s not glamorous. But it is required. This picture was taken on a day I didn’t really feel like doing the work.

I was coming off a 15-hour client day and a long drive the night before.

Didn’t sleep well. Didn’t eat right. I started late because I was on a conference call. But I got out there anyway.

Because the secret to accomplishing anything isn’t motivation. It’s whether you can make yourself do what needs to be done especially when you don’t want to.

The first two miles felt rough. 2,000 feet of vertical gain. 95% humidity.

I saw a bear. I got stung by 3 bees.

And then the shift happens.

You shake off the variables. You find your rhythm. You remember why you do what you do.

Whatever you're climbing right now this is your reminder: you’ve got more in the tank than you think. Everything might not be perfect. Get started anyway and then just keep going.
