Showing up every day. Showing up to put in the work. Great work. Consistently.
That’s how greatness is achieved.
That’s how big hairy goals are conquered.
It’s not hitting a grand slam once a season, it’s getting a hit every at-bat. Even if it’s fielded and you’re thrown out. The point is to be getting consistently, incrementally better each day, and to learn from each small failure.
The truth is it’s not glamorous. It can even be a grind some days. Most days.
That’s really the key to accomplishing anything of any worth in life. Putting in the hours, days, months, years to chip away at the boulder until it’s gone.
You can’t achieve your goals unless you put in the work, and you can’t put in the work unless you show up.
