Another day repeating this. Another week waiting for a call. You say you’re doing everything you can to make this change in your life happen. While I want to believe you because you actually are doing way more than you ever have, I do feel you can still do more. Of course everything comes with time. I’m not naive to think you can just flip from 0-100 on a moments notice. I know that it takes steps to get to where you want to get to. Each step needs to be solidified as a habit as well. It’s not enough to just do it for one day, you have to be able to do it every day. For that you need it to be a custom of yours. Adding that takes time and consistency so just keep doing what you’re doing. Just add more when you feel like you got it down. Never get too comfortable, but strive to reach that comfort every time.
You’re right, it’s about more than just waiting. It’s about using the waiting time to sharpen yourself, to make sure that when the opportunity comes, you’re not just ready, you’re ahead of the curve. It’s tempting to think you’ve done enough, that what you’ve put in is sufficient for now. But the truth is, the road to growth isn’t paved with ‘enough.’ It’s paved with pushing boundaries, stretching your limits, and finding new ways to challenge yourself when you think you’re at capacity.
Every day, ask yourself if you left something on the table. Even if it’s something small, an extra rep, an additional task, one more phone call or application—if there’s room for a little more, go for it. You’re building something bigger than just a routine. You’re shaping a future where each action, no matter how minor, has meaning.
Remember that success isn’t always about the huge leaps forward. Sometimes, it’s the accumulation of small, consistent actions that bring about the biggest transformations. Even on days when nothing seems to move forward, realize that the work you’re doing, the habits you’re solidifying, are laying the foundation for what’s to come. You won’t feel the change happening all at once, but one day you’ll look back and see just how far you’ve come.
Keep the focus on growth. Don’t settle for where you are now, but also don’t rush the process. Let yourself improve at the right pace, but always keep that hunger alive. The call will come, the change will happen, and when it does, you’ll realize that all this preparation wasn’t just for the moment of opportunity—it was for your entire journey ahead.
