The Carrot

I’m in the GO season of my life.

There’s no sitting still. I’m constantly moving forward, up, through. Every area of my life is getting pressure:

• Work

• Fitness

• Friendships

• Relationships

• The brand

• Me

I’m thinking more, doing more, pushing more. And I know it’s going to pay off.

But some days… it feels like I’m chasing a carrot.

And every time I get close, yank, it’s gone again.

It’s not that I’m tired of the chase. I love the chase. The chase is part of who I am. It gives me purpose. It’s the fuel behind Shift Society, behind my growth, behind everything I’m building.

What I’m tired of is the dangle.

That almost.
That "so close"
That space where the relationship could’ve worked.
The deal could’ve landed.
The legal shit could’ve ended.

But it didn’t.
Not yet.

It’s that space that wears you down if you let it. But I won’t.
Because this season? It’s mine.
And even if I haven’t grabbed the carrot yet, I know I’m getting closer.

And when I do get it?
It’s not going to be luck.
It’s going to be because I never stopped running toward it, even when it moved.

What's your carrot?
