In fact, as I saw on that sunny Vegas afternoon, continued execution compounding will make it look like it was never a choice.

Like it couldn't have been anything else.

It's who you are.

It's part of your identity.

It was destiny.

Now, of course, that's not true.

It was very much your choice.

But people can't see the five million steps you took.

They just see the fit, energetic guy or gal doing what fit, energetic guys and gals do.

They find alignment and they attack.

They show up.

They do what they must do every day.

They take the stairs.

You're not here just to get by.

To check a box.

No, you're here for something different.

Maybe it's your desire to chase down that sunrise while the rest of the world sleeps.

To embrace the difficult, the inconvenient, in exchange for that little bit of glory you'll soon feel as you pour your morning coffee and start your day.

Or maybe it's your fascination with the fact that every time you ask yourself if there's more, if you have anything left, the answer always seems to be yes.

And maybe that's it.
