Burning good reps 🔥

I. Burning good reps 🔥

Just get it done! Don't stress about making it perfect or looking pretty. Don't wait around for everything to be just right - just get it done!


Now, I'm not trying to preach here or anything; just sharing a little note to myself. Last week, I spent my designated time writing the Thursday Three. But when the time ran out, I still wasn't thrilled with what I had written. The post was flawed and overly complicated, and I was so close to just chucking it in the bin.


But I'm a stubborn one, so on my train ride home that evening, I spent time editing and rewriting it until it was "good enough." I still wasn't totally satisfied, and the temptation to delay or not send it at all was still there. But I knew I just needed to get it done, so I hunched over my laptop until 10:30 pm when I finally hit "send."


Who knows, maybe you read it and loved it. Or maybe you hated it or didn't even bother to read it. But honestly, the result doesn't matter as much as the action. I just needed to burn another good rep. Or should I say, good enough rep?


I don't know what your "It" is, but whatever you're trying to accomplish, whether it's messy, imperfect, or even half-assed, just get it done and burn another rep.



II. Bun's of steel 🍑


It's time to show that booty some love. AKA the Bulgarian Split Squat.


Grab yourself a bench, a decent weight and let's go.





III. Quote to ponder

Late in his life, after surgery, Theodore Roosevelt was told he might be confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of his days. With his trademark ebullience, he responded, “All right! I can work that way too!” This is how we can respond to even the most disabling turns of fate—by working within whatever room is left. Nothing can prevent us from learning. In fact, difficult situations are often opportunities for their own kinds of learning, even if they’re not the kinds of learning we’d have preferred. Source: The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday

P.S. If you enjoyed this week's Thursday Three, share it with a friend.

Thanks,
