What does it mean to let go of the rope?
Every once in a while, there's a point where you're looking in the mirror and you realize you've let go of the rope, right? You were, you were climbing, you were ascending and, uh, you know, moving on to bigger, better, faster, all the things, but then life happened. Maybe you were traveling, you know, there's disruption, you get sick. You sleep in, right? Hit that alarm clock or that snooze button and you tell yourself, just this once. But I think we've been there when once becomes twice, twice becomes three times. Suddenly, what was second nature now feels like you're climbing a mountain barefoot. Momentum is a lot like fire. It takes time to build and effort to cultivate. energy to sustain, but only a moment of neglect to flicker out, right?
And once that darkness settles in, you start asking yourself all the wrong questions. Well, what's the point? What if I don't have it in me anymore? Do I even have to live like that? What if I was really never that person to begin with? Because the mind is funny like that. It doesn't fight for your potential. It fights for comfort. It wants to take that temporary stumble and build it into a home. It wants to consistently build walls around you. In fact, I would go as far as to say there's dissonance between where your heart wants to go, where your soul wants to take you, and where some of the most precious things in life are directing you. Your biology wants you safe. It doesn't need you pushing your limits or maxing out your potential.
Societally, it's much easier to blend in, to be average. Even friends and family, the ones that love us most, right? There's innately interest in their part on you being safe and secure, which is fine. But all these things lead you to a status quo, not excellence. Excellence in my eyes is something that is derived from the self. It's a journey that you have to green light. And so where am I going with this? Well, I'm just coming out of a, we'll say, less than ideal stretch. It's not a remarkable story. It's not going to knock your socks off, but I think you'll find it relatable. Where a few weeks ago, everything was firing on all cylinders in, I want to say, all aspects of life, right? In rhythm, dialed in, early mornings, deep work, hitting the gym, spending time with people I care about, all things good, right? Had my hands on the wheel. And then something so small, so seemingly insignificant, knocked me off course. Some type of respiratory virus. Nothing serious, enough to keep me in bed for a few days.
But in that time, your discipline, focus, habits, all those things you sort of have to fight to cultivate, they can go out the window. They're allowed to unwind because you're telling yourself you'll get back on track and you need this. You deserve this. You work hard. So the symptoms go away after three days, but energy's a little bit down. And you're looking at the gym and you're going, you need the rest. You're looking at those creative ideas. Oh, they can wait. You start sleeping in, start hitting the snooze button. And essentially an active choice to recover becomes an unconscious choice to retreat. At some point, you're not healing anymore. You're hiding. And you feel it, right? Just in your bones, there's less excitement.
There's less energy. You sort of know you're lying to yourself and not keeping the word that you gave to yourself. It's a bad feeling. You start to internalize that. People follow through on who they believe themselves to be. That's why every step is so important. It's earning that confidence. It's reaffirming that commitment. And without that, life just feels like it's missing something. And so this morning, a very intentional walk outside changed everything. And I know that's anticlimactic. I know it sounds trivial. Good. That is the point. It's so easy to turn things around, right? But as Jim Rohn has said, it's also very easy to continue the same pattern and same habits. That's why it's so hard to change.
Not because change is hard, but because staying the same is so damn easy. But here's the message. Here's what I needed. And here's what I'd love to offer up to you in case you find yourself in one of these slumps or maybe just not firing on all cylinders. That chapter of life or season where you know you're leaving a part of you on the table. Here it is. Life is not about perfection.
