Let it all hit you if it wants to hit you. Why should it matter to you anyway. You know that no matter how you’re feeling you’re going to finish what you started. Who cares how badly the body is hurting. Who cares if every movement feels like you’re ripping muscle. Let it only strengthen your resolve. Feel it fully and know that not even this is enough to stop you. By finishing what you started you’re showing yourself and showing your subconscious mind that what you’re capable of surpasses that of the normal senses. What you want exceeds what you need and what you need now is rest, that much is painfully clear. You know the saying though, there ain’t no rest for the wicked.
You feel the weight of it all. It’s in every step you take, every pull, every push, but you’ve walked this path before. This isn’t the first time, and it certainly won’t be the last. It’s in these moments when you’re close to breaking that the real growth happens. You know deep down that the discomfort is temporary, but the strength you gain from pushing through lasts forever. Let the body scream. Let the mind rebel. It doesn’t matter because the soul—the core of who you are—is stronger than both combined.
You’ve made it through worse, so why stop now? Stopping now would betray everything you’ve worked for. It would be the biggest insult to the progress you’ve made, to the days where you were down but still managed to rise. You’re not going back. That’s not an option. Forward is the only direction now, and you have more to give. Always more. This is what sets you apart. You dig deeper when others would walk away. You embrace the strain because you know it’s shaping something greater inside of you.
There’s a satisfaction in knowing you’re doing what others won’t. When they rest, you work. When they doubt, you believe. And when the pain tells you to quit, you welcome it as a reminder that you’re still in the fight. Your body may crave the comfort of rest, but your spirit craves the victory that comes from defying it. So keep pushing, keep moving, and show the world what resilience really looks like.
