On Playing The Long Game
Your 1st blog post will be bad, but your 1000th will be great.
Your 1st workout will be weak, but your 1000th will be strong.
Your 1st meditation will be scattered, but your 1000th will be focused.
Put in your reps.
As we gear ourselves for the next 5 years, one thought going through my mind is the importance of playing the long game.
Playing the long game is hard. It means signing up for suffering at the beginning. It means paying a small price today to make for a better tomorrow. It means pacing yourself a little differently.
The first step is always the toughest, and so are the next few. That is why most people don’t even attempt it, and many quit mid-way. But the select few who persist know that as weeks turn into months and the months into years, the benefits start compounding. The longer you play, the easier it gets, and the greater the reward.
How do you play the long game?
1. If you fail at first, Keep Trying
2. Surround yourself with people who care about you and encourage you to fight harder and reach higher
3. And most importantly, never give up on something you believe in
Let’s play the long game.
Best,
Kaddy
