You won’t stop moving until I say you can stop. You’ll move when I tell you to. This is the deal. You said you wanted to be better. You say you want a life you never had before. You want money you never had before. Then you must shut up and do what I say. Think what I tell you to think. You’re doing good right now, you’ve been listening to every word I speak to you. You woke up tired today and thought to yourself that maybe just maybe you can have yourself a regular day. You know to catch up on at least some rest from this hellish week you’ve had up until now. Well you thought wrong because I need more from you today again. You can’t waste any time here. When you have it you must move forward. That’s the way I’ll carve out for you. You just keep those legs moving up the hill and focus on your breath.
You think rest will come easy, but not yet. Not while there’s more to be done. You said you wanted something different, right? You asked for more—more than what everyone else has, more than what you’ve been handed. Well, it doesn’t come without a price. Every step forward, every bead of sweat, every breath that feels like it’s tearing through your chest—that’s the price. You keep paying it until it’s yours, until you’re so used to moving that standing still feels foreign.
You don’t get to stop because it’s hard. This hill? It’s just the beginning. Keep your focus on what’s next, not what you’ve already conquered. If you pause to look back, the temptation to rest will pull at you. But you’re not that person anymore. The old you would have stopped by now, but look where you are. Still standing, still moving, still pushing.
And every time you feel like you can’t, that’s when you go harder. That’s when you prove to yourself that you’re not just doing this for the version of you that exists today, but for the one you’re becoming tomorrow. So, don’t give in. Don’t look for shortcuts. Let the discomfort fuel you. Let the doubt make you stronger. Every second counts, and every second you keep moving, you’re shaping something new. Something that will one day make you wonder how you ever thought about stopping.
