You’re getting to that point
There’s still room to grow
There’s still more hurdles coming your way.
You’re getting there though
The more you get passed
The easier it becomes to get passed.
As the week goes on you’ll see
More temptations to revert will hit you
The pull to who you were before is in you.
It’s still very well known in you
So use who you want to be to counter that
As you do now by being awake here.
By moving closer and closer to your goal
Once you finish this you’ll remember.
You’ll remember why you started it
Why you’ve kept going at this
It’ll all make sense when you’re done here.
Your mind will return to you
Just get it done.
It’s easy to forget why you started when you’re in the middle of the struggle. The fog of tiredness, the endless distractions, and the constant pull of old habits make it hard to stay focused. But it’s those exact moments where you have to remember that every small step forward matters. The version of you that you aspire to be is built with each of these decisions. The more you resist the pull to revert, the stronger your foundation becomes. It’s like building a wall—brick by brick. Some days you’ll only add a few, but over time, you’ll see the entire structure take shape.
When you start to feel like you’re not making progress, or that the effort isn’t worth it, that’s exactly when you have to push the hardest. Growth is often invisible in the moment, but it reveals itself over time, in the changes you notice when you look back. Every time you choose to continue, you’re solidifying the path forward and weakening the one behind you. It’s easy to give in, but staying the course will bring the reward of clarity and accomplishment that you can’t see in the middle of it.
Your mind may wander, temptations may surface, but they are all just part of the process. They test your commitment to your transformation. Each challenge is a reminder of the distance you’ve already covered and how much further you can go. The key is not to get overwhelmed by the road ahead but to focus on the steps you’re taking right now. One foot in front of the other, and soon enough, the finish line will come into view.
And when you cross that line, you’ll look back at every moment of doubt, every temptation to quit, and realize it was all part of the journey. Each one tested your willpower and made you stronger. So keep moving forward. Your future self is waiting on the other side, ready to thank you for not giving up.
