To Keep Going

To Keep Going

You need to keep going.

Put your head down.

Put your head down, and do the work.

Keep pushing.

Be relentless.

Reflect on self-discipline and the inborn grit in your gut.

You think about the end goal, but don’t make it about that.

Make it about what you are looking at right now, about what is next.

You make it about the process.

And you continue on.

Because you are more capable than the others, and because persistence wins.

“Extraordinary benefits accrue to the tiny minority of people who are able to push just a tiny bit longer than most.”

-Seth Godin, The Dip (Amazon)
