"Lost in the Middle: Finding Motivation Again"


Entry #46

I've been on a journey of self-improvement for several months now, but lately, I've been feeling stuck. It's as if I'm climbing a mountain, pulling myself up towards the top, but I have no idea how much farther I have to go. I'm proud of the progress I've made in various areas of my life, from organizing my living space to streamlining my business operations.

However, despite my best efforts, I don't seem to be moving forward at the pace I'd like. Frustration is starting to creep in, making me wonder if all my hard work is worth it. I've been trying to push through, convincing myself that every small step counts, but it's getting harder.

Quitting isn't an option, no matter how tempting it may be. Instead, I've been thinking about reviewing my progress, reassessing my goals, and finding new ways to measure growth. Perhaps I need to adjust my expectations or find alternative motivators to keep me on track.

The truth is, whether I achieve my goals or not, it only affects me. So, shouldn't that be enough motivation? Why, then, do I struggle to stay motivated?

🛡️ Side Quest: The Push-Up Pact — Level 3

Image
The day’s work has weighed on you like a stubborn shadow. Back day at the gym left your shoulders tight, your arms heavy, your mind buzzing with fatigue. And yet…you almost—almost—skipped the Pact. But hesitation isn’t rewarded here. Palms meet the floor, cold and unforgiving. Fingers splay as if to anchor yourself to reality. Core tightens; breath deepens. The first push drags you down, every muscle protesting. The tile beneath your palms is hard, unyielding, and the faint echo of your own heartbeat fills your ears. Second push. Your shoulders scream, your arms tremble. Sweat beads along your brow, slides into your eyes, stings—but you push through. Third push. Fourth. By the fifth, rhythm arrives like a quiet ally: shoulders align, core braced, every movement deliberate. Breath steady, body moving as one. The burn intensifies, sweet and sharp. It courses through your chest, down your arms, into every fiber of your being. Each push is a coin pressed into the vault of persi...
