It’s just another day today.
Nothing more and nothing less.
My training requirements remain the same.
My writing requirements remain the same.
I’ve done days like today thousands of times.
It’s nothing new to me.
Yet my body acts like it’s new,
like what I ask of it is so hard.
Maybe, yes, it is hard to do.
That’s why I’ve built up to it though.
I’ve trained this body to adapt to this.
It shouldn’t have the trouble it has now.
Well, trouble or not, it needs to get done.
Keep it moving for now.
Rest when you’re further ahead,
or better yet, when you’re done.
No point in slowing down now.
You’ve went this far; finish it.
It’s funny, isn’t it? How the body resists, how it protests like it hasn’t been here before. It whines as if this is the first time, as if I haven’t dragged it through harder days, longer sessions, and heavier weights. But the mind knows better. The mind remembers. It knows that resistance is just noise, a distraction meant to slow me down.
I’ve come too far to let that happen. Each step forward is another reminder that I’m not doing this because it’s easy. I’m doing it because it’s hard. Because hard is what makes it worth it. The struggle is the proof that I’m on the right path. If it were easy, it wouldn’t matter.
Sure, there are moments when doubt creeps in. Moments when I wonder if the effort is worth it. But those moments pass quickly. They don’t last because I know the answer. Of course it’s worth it. It’s always worth it. Every rep, every word written, every small sacrifice—they all add up to something greater.
Today is no different. It’s just another brick in the foundation. Another line in the story I’m writing about myself. I’ve been here before, and I’ll be here again. This is the rhythm of my life now. One step at a time, one task at a time, building momentum until the day is mine.
The key is to keep moving, even when it feels like everything is working against me. Especially then. Rest can wait. Fatigue can’t stop me. This is what I do. This is who I am. And I’ll prove it to myself again today, just like I always do.
