Just keep trying:

Just keep trying.

Keep showing up.

Keep experimenting.

Keep creating.

Keep failing.

Keep trying.

Again and again.

Even when you fail.

Even when you succeed.

Even if you hate what you’ve done.

Even if you love what you’ve done.

Just keep showing up.

Most of life is showing up.

I’d say 90%.

Being reliable.

Showing up for people.

Being there when they need it.

Especially when you need it.

This world is harsh.

It’s brutal.

Here’s a secret.

No one’s coming to save you.

No one.

Everyone is too busy thinking about themselves.

They don’t really care.

They can teach you.

But ultimately it’s up to you.

You decide the trajectory of your life.

What direction do you want to go?

If you want something, go get it.

Write it down.

Dream about it.

Then show up to work.

Every single day.

Again and again.

Showing up for yourself.

Even when you don’t want to.

Slow progress.

Small steps daily.

You won’t solve it all tomorrow.

It will take time.

That’s ok.

Be patient.

Everything is supposed to happen when it does.

Don’t rush experience.


Don’t rush time.

Be present while you’re going through it.

Accept the pain.

But keep that north star in mind.

As you make small changes and you start to hit your goals, push them further.

Go beyond what you believed was possible.


Just at the edge.

Then go get it.

Do something for yourself.

Not for anyone else.

Make yourself proud.

You only do that by showing up.

By trying.

Just keep trying.
