The middle

Wednesday, June 25

Most people love the start.
It’s exciting. Full of potential. Full of motivation.

Everyone celebrates the finish.
It’s rewarding. It gets applause. It gets remembered.

But what about the middle?

The middle is where most people disappear.
Where motivation and excitement has faded.
Where results feel like a lost hope.
Where doubt gets loud.

The middle is hard. It is quiet. It is where almost everything in you wants to quit.

But the middle is also where greatness is built. Where grit is formed. Where trust is tested. Where progress is made. One unseen, uncelebrated rep at a time.

You don’t have to love the middle.
You just have to show up in it.

Keep your head down.
Stick to the standard.
Ignore the noise.

Because the ones who win in the middle are the ones who finish what they started.
​
Keep chopping wood. 🪵🪓
