170. Make It As Hard As You Can So That It Only Gets Easier

Same exact time as yesterday. Weird.

This isn’t some flex, it’s just a matter of fact. Every day is generally the exact same for me. I’ve designed it to be “hard,” unknowingly making it easier. The harder it is now, the easier it’ll get. Because if the first ever wall I climb is the hardest wall I ever climb, I will forever have this in my back pocket as evidence that anything that comes after is easier than the previous. That gives me a lot of relief and reassurance on the days I doubt myself most. The only way is through.
