That line: “No one cares about your mission as much as you do" has echoed in my head ever since I made a serious mindset shift back in 2019. I decided I was done coasting and started taking ownership of my health. At first, it was small: just walking and hitting my move goal on my Apple Watch. Then came push-ups. Then running. Soon I was logging multiple miles a day and knocking out 1,000 push-ups a week. Eventually, I added pull-ups, just a few at first, but I kept showing up.
Fast forward to now: I run 5–7 miles daily and train for an hour every weekday. On weekends, I do back-to-back long runs and I haven’t missed my Apple Watch goals for over 900 consecutive days. That’s flu, Covid, rain, snow, hail, you name it. I don’t negotiate with myself. I just move. Because I know what’s on the other side: confidence, resilience, and a mental edge that shows up in every part of my life.
So when you say “Discipline > Intensity” and “Oatmeal is still a meal,” I couldn’t agree more. In fact, I eat oatmeal every morning; though mine’s a bit souped up: oats, egg whites, peanut butter, almonds, raisins, banana, Greek yogurt, quinoa, and chia seeds. It may not sound great, but it fuels me. It’s part of the rhythm.
Your reminder about Seinfeld’s “don’t break the chain” also resonates. My streak isn’t flashy, but it's proof that showing up consistently, even at 60%, rewires your identity. It tells you: I’m the kind of person who does the work. And that, over time, changes everything.
Appreciate the fire, the realness, and the nudge to keep laying bricks. Brick by brick. Bowl by bowl. Mile by mile.
