“Things are never as good or as bad as they seem.”

My offensive coordinator in college used to remind us of that after every game. It’s a lesson that’s followed me into entrepreneurship and training. The wins are never quite as high, and the losses are rarely as low as they feel in the moment.

Whether I hit a revenue goal or miss a PR, the next step is usually the same: Show up tomorrow and keep doing the work.

Reminder for the July Community Challenge with Trainer Asteria Health. Get out into The Backyard of the Bay Area ☀️
