If You’re Going Through Hell, Here’s How to Keep Going
It’s really easy to keep moving and building and producing and coming up with more solutions and more ideas when things are flowing and life is wonderful.
The real trick is to keep going, step by step, when things are awful, when anxiety is churning through your gut, when your energy is stubbornly low, when you have no idea of the outcome…or you’re terrified of it.
Take a breath, loosen the grip on the endgame, then move those proverbial feet even an inch.
Faith is the gas but you’re the vehicle.
Let’s go!

On theme reading and listening recs:
The song “If You’re Going Through Hell” by Rodney Atkins
While we’re at it, the song “Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself” by Jess Glynne
The song “Summertime” by DJ Jazzy Jeff and a pre-slap Fresh Prince never ceases to dip me into a well of deep nostalgia
The book Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams is a must-read!
This Book Will Bury Me is a fun and easy read (a novel playing on true crime fans and the timely news about the conviction of the University of Idaho Killer)
The Paris Novel by Ruth Reichl - Paris, drama, and food: sign me up!
Finally, I’ve been getting into activations on my morning walk, and am loving the Good Morning, Legend pod for that reason. (If you have any other activations you like, please send them my way!)
