Show notes
Over the weekend, my neighbor came to my 13-year-old and told him they had about 130 bales of hay that needed to be loaded. He told my boy he'd pay him $250 and it would take somewhere around 3 hours.
Jax agreed and off he went.
I knew I had to help him because he's never done anything like that on his own, so as it goes, I end up doing about 50% of the work.
No problem.
That's how I am.
I don't have the patience to be waiting around on people.
We get into hour 6 of our 3 hour job and Jax says, "Dad, let's just finish the rest tomorrow."
I told him I was tired, too, but that we probably just needed to finish what we started.
This is the critical point for most people doing anything in life.....
They get to the hard and tiresome part and quit.
But here's the secret no one will tell you.....
If you're tired, you're only 40% of the way there.
In those moments, that's when you are tested to see if you'll show up and keep your word.
Do the work despite being tired.
Sweaty.
Uninspired.
When we were headed back to the house, Jax looked at me and said, "Dad, I'm glad we got that done. That was a great lesson."
I hope you take it as a good lesson for yourself, too.
Growth is in the hard work.
But you won't grow if you don't power through the tough parts and make it go!
