Today Is The Only 'There' You've Got

You chase it.
A goal. A milestone. Day 100.

You swear it’s just over the next hill.
A little more effort. A little more grind. Then–arrival.

But when you get there?
It’s gone.

Turns out, “there” was never the point.

The process was.
The showing up.
The noticing.
The courage to care enough to act.
The discomfort of pressing publish.
The quiet joy of impact.

You didn’t cross a finish line.
You built a rhythm.
And in turn, the rhythm built you.

Funny thing about goals:
They’re useful–only if you let them fade.

Use them to aim.
Then focus on the craft, not the target.

Because “there” is just another word for “not here.”

Today is the only “there” you’ve got.
Put it to work!
