This is great. I especially like "know when to persevere and when to pivot." I have learned that one the hard way over the years.

This is one of the cleanest breakdowns I’ve seen of how integrity becomes infrastructure. Not because it makes you impressive—but because it’s the only thing that holds when ego collapses.

Running, like life, isn’t about speed—it’s about how you move when no one’s watching. What you choose when no one’s validating. And whether you’re willing to walk through the wall instead of decorating it.

The code isn’t complicated. It’s just not glamorous. But it’s what separates those chasing peak moments from those becoming someone steady enough to meet them.

Thank you so much for this opportunity to grow and celebrate each success - I love the idea of stacking wins. Like stacking discounts but way better! 🤣

This resonates with me very much. I have never been very good at embracing pain / discomfort. But I am in a place in my life where this important and I feel ready to do that - one very small step at a time. Thank you!
