And if you come upon something that’s blocking your path, you find a way to

get over it or get around it. Then you keep walking.

Relentlessness doesn’t mean charging into the fray headfirst, swinging and

flailing your arms every which way. It’s focused, determined action. Again

and again and again.

You’re not bashing your fist against a brick wall until it’s bloody and bruised.

You’re using your hammer and chisel to slowly, methodically chip away

piece by piece until eventually there’s a hole.

And then the hole gets bigger. And bigger. And before you know it, you’re

like Alice stepping through the looking glass to a whole new world.

YOU ARE RELENTLESS

When you’re not sure if you’re following the right path, when you’ve been

knocked down a few too many times, it’s completely fine to get discouraged,

hell; even defeated. What’s not ok is to stop.

Because you can always lean on relentlessness. When you have nothing else,

you have relentlessness.

Rather than worrying about whether you should keep going or turn back,

press in relentlessly. Relentlessness has one direction, and that’s forward. It

only has one option, and that’s to keep the momentum going.

There is no giving up. There is no quitting. There is no changing of plans.

Relentless is the bodybuilder who goes to the gym for hours every day.

Relentless is the prospective entrepreneur who has been ridiculed or rejected

for their completely original idea but keeps pitching it anyway. Relentless is

the overweight Mom who feels like she’s never going to get there. Relentless

is the newly minted college graduate at the bottom of the corporate ladder

barely making enough to pay her rent and yet staying at the office later than

anyone else just to learn as much as she can. Relentless is you.

Anyone who’s ever gone to the gym knows that the results aren’t immediate.

You don’t spend 30 minutes on the treadmill and look like a new person.
