I got asked the other day, "how did you keep going?". I wasn't really sure how to answer.

I won't pretend to have an answer. I will, however, share something that works for me.

There have been plenty of times when I've felt like Sisyphus. Why am I doing this? What's the point? Am I just endlessly pushing this boulder up the mountain?

In these times I've actually leaned on recalling how fleeting and short-lived the pinnacle of success has ended up being.

This isn't cynical. It's just reality. The joy of winning and achievement doesn't last forever.

So we must find joy in today. In the struggle.

When I think even of the deepest valleys and darkest times of my life, I now smile. I feel oddly nostalgic about those periods of time. In retrospect, there was beauty in the struggle.

Keep pushing the boulder. Even if it seems pointless, it's not. You're developing skills and resilience you'll be able to lean on and be proud of later.

As Sir Winston Churchill said, "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."
