Don’t look now but you’re doing it.
I say don’t look because it’ll stop you
It’ll remove you from the course you’re on.
You’re right there right now
Right where you need to be.
To think you’re doing it with such little sleep.
Man you must really want this
This change of life.
You want it but you’re frugal with expectations
You don’t tell yourself how much work is enough
If you did you know you’d never do enough.
Instead do what you can
Do what you can for as long as you can.
That, funny enough, is enough.
It’s hard to see that though
Especially when you think before you do
Thinking takes up room in your day.
If only you could just do while still remaining you.
It’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of thoughts and expectations. Often, we become our own biggest obstacle, questioning our progress and doubting our efforts. But sometimes, the best thing you can do is just keep moving forward without overanalyzing. Recognize that you’re already on the right path, even if it feels challenging and exhausting.
In moments of doubt, remind yourself that your journey is about persistence, not perfection. You’ve managed to come this far, pushing through tiredness and uncertainty. Your dedication speaks volumes about how much you want this change. It’s not about meeting a specific quota or achieving a certain milestone every day; it’s about consistently showing up and doing what you can.
Expectations can be a double-edged sword. While they can motivate, they can also overwhelm. By focusing on what you can do in the moment, you free yourself from the burden of unattainable standards. Each small step is progress, and those steps add up over time. Embrace the process, knowing that your efforts, however small, are enough.
Remember, action creates momentum. The less you dwell on the potential difficulties, the more space you create for actually doing the work. It’s a delicate balance—maintaining your drive and determination without letting overthinking stall you. Trust in your ability to handle whatever comes your way, and allow yourself to be present in the journey. You are enough, and your consistent efforts are paving the way for the change you seek.
