Last week it didn’t feel like this. I got used to the added weight pretty quick into the week. Today is not a day like that. Today I feel like I’m fighting to get myself up. It’s tiring and I just got through one set of it, 4 more of these to go. It’ll continue to be tiring today and there’s nothing I can do about that. What I can do is not complain about it and keep moving forward. If I can do it again regardless of how heavy it feels today, then tomorrow might feel lighter. It might, it might not. I can’t concern myself with what it might end up doing. All I can do is finish what I’m doing right now. It’s gunna suck sure, but I can still get it done. I’ll show myself that it isn’t the end. It’s only just getting started.
Because that’s what matters—not how it feels, but whether or not it gets done. You don’t need it to feel easy. You don’t need it to feel good. You just need to do it.
There will be days like this, where everything feels heavier than before. But those are the days that matter the most. It’s easy to push when you feel strong. It’s easy to grind when the momentum is on your side. But what about when it’s not? What about the days where every rep feels like a battle? Those are the days that separate who you were from who you’re becoming.
So let it be heavy. Let it be exhausting. But do it anyway. Because tomorrow, or the next day, or the next—this weight will feel lighter, and you’ll know exactly why. Not because it suddenly became easy, but because you refused to break when it was at its hardest.
