There comes a point in every journey—when you’re doing something new, something ambitious—where continuing feels the hardest.
Words by Alex Livermore
You’re working hard, taking action, pushing forward. But momentum hasn’t caught you yet. You’re still waiting for that shift, that moment when effort transforms into flow. Right now, it’s just hard. Every step forward takes more energy, more perseverance.
The results? Not quite there yet.
You still believe. Mostly. But doubt creeps in. You’re too far in to turn back, yet all that lies ahead is uncertainty. You start craving a sign—some small win, some reassurance that if you keep going, success is inevitable.
You might even hear the voice of your old self—whispering, tempting. Telling you that retreating to what’s familiar, what’s safe, might be easier than forging ahead into the unknown.
But you know the truth.
You had to dismantle your old life to take this journey. Going back isn’t an option—it’s an illusion. You’re not that person anymore. Trying to return to who you once were would only bring frustration, stagnation, and regret.
And so, you find yourself stuck in the tug-of-war between faith and fear.
Stopped.
Frozen.
Paralyzed.
But then you remember.
You remember the other times—the ones where uncertainty turned into momentum, where effort turned into mastery. You remember the moments when trust and enthusiasm carried you past the doubt, into something greater.
And so, you take a deep breath.
A small step.
And then another.
Because at any moment, everything can change.
But only if you keep moving.
Keep going.
