Don’t you travel too far ahead now.
Sure, you’ve made progress.
Sure, you’re further along than you thought.
Just don’t get ahead of yourself.
You should be diving into the moment.
This moment is all yours.
You’ve earned it.
You brought yourself to this point now.
To discredit yourself now would be shameful.
You discredit yourself when you go ahead—
ahead of the moment that is right now.
It’s the little distractions you get.
I know you want to take your time,
so you allow yourself some distractions.
Just don’t let them dictate you.
Don’t let them set the pace of your training.
You near the last stretch now.
All that’s left is to not stop.
You’ve been here before—on the edge of finishing something that once felt impossible. But the closer you get, the easier it is to forget how much you’ve accomplished to arrive here. You start thinking ahead to what’s next, skipping over the moment that’s happening now. But this moment? It’s everything.
You didn’t just stumble here—you fought for this place. Every early morning, every step forward when you didn’t feel like moving—it led to this. So why rush past it? Why let it slip through your fingers by thinking too far ahead? You earned the right to be present, to breathe it in, to feel the weight of your progress.
There will always be another challenge waiting, but this one deserves your full attention. It’s not about finishing faster—it’s about finishing right. Distractions will always try to steal your focus, tempting you with thoughts of what’s next or what could’ve been done differently. But those thoughts don’t serve you here.
Here, it’s just you and the next step.
Let yourself savor this stretch, even as you push through it. Let it be a reminder that the journey isn’t just about the end—it’s about every small moment of victory along the way. And when you reach the end? You’ll know you didn’t rush it. You lived it.
So take that step, steady and sure. All that’s left is to not stop.
