When most people reach a point in their lives where they start feeling comfortable...
They tend to let their foot off the gas and try to “maintain” where they’re at with minimal effort.
The only problem is … there’s no such thing as “maintaining.”
You may think you can just coast as soon as you collect a few wins and get to a "good spot"...
But the truth is … the minute you do this is the minute you start going backward.
Not necessarily because you are literally going backward but because everyone & everything else is still moving forward.
You move backward by default.
...and as you starting moving backward … there are a whole lot of other people who will keep showing up and getting better every single day.
Eventually, those people are going to catch up … pass you by … and completely destroy you in the long run.
You need to commit yourself to the process of becoming better every single day … regardless of what you’ve accomplished.
Understand that there will never be a point where you've "made it."
There is no “end.”
Don’t get upset with me … I didn’t make the rules … I’m just telling you how it works.
Forward.
Backward.
Those are your choices.
Every single day.
