That whole pain-glorification trend? Miss me with that. I don’t buy into the Goggins grind-show. Screaming through reps doesn’t mean you’re strong. It means you’re loud. Real strength is quiet. It’s consistent. It’s disciplined. It’s not about pain — it’s about adherence, results, and enjoyment.
Struggle isn’t a flex. Showing off how hard something is doesn’t make it noble. What makes it valuable is that you chose it, stuck with it, and it worked. That’s what I respect — not suffering, but mastery.
Enjoying the work is underrated. Being smooth with it. Hitting reps with good form and a calm breath. Running without rage. That’s what makes it sustainable. That’s what makes it yours.
So yeah, pain has its place. But it’s not the main event. The main thing is showing up, doing the thing, and getting better without needing the world to applaud you for bleeding.
That’s the path I’m walking. And I think it’s the right one.
That’s also the reason why I decided to create Moment.
It’s a free app that encourages brief pauses during the day — to take stock of how you’re feeling.
And if you’re intentional enough,
maybe you'll see a bit clearer who you are…
and who you could become.
If you're curious, you can try Moment here.
No pressure. Just a few mindful pauses — maybe they'll change something.
