'No one is getting it right on the first try!'
No matter what's going on in my life, movement (gym, run, swim, dance, hike) has always been a constant.
When work's amazing.
When it's hard.
When my head's full.
I still can't do a pull-up. It takes me ages. I've been stuck on the same weights for what feels like forever. It's hard.
Then suddenly... one extra rep. A tiny bit more muscle.
Two kilos more lifted than last month.
It's funny how something so small reminds you:
You've got this.
Keep going.
Show up.
Lock in.
You will suck and that's OK.
Reminds me of
@joesantagato quote from
@modernwisdomclips @chriswillx conversation:
'You're never gonna be super ready. You're never gonna have it fully dialed in.
You need to just do it and just suck at it.
Cause there's no one getting it right on the first try. You should suck.
Because that means that you grew when you got better at something. But you have to start. You're never gonna plan your way out of not sucking. Just suck at it. But you're doing it.'
That feeling carries into everything else I do in life.
I'd genuinely be nowhere without movement. Move if you get to.
