Showing Up Is Half The Battle Won
Today was the yearly club cross race: a 4K-ish parcours on and around our club's running track to figure out who becomes the club champion in their category.
And would you believe it... I won!
Or well, at least I won against the other contestants in my category who actually chose to compete today. There certainly are people I train with who are faster than me. But they didn't show up, and you can only win against people who do.
Showing up in life is already half the battle won. Keep showing up and success will be almost guaranteed for you eventually. Me showing up at this race every year might not mean I win it every time, but it increases my chance to win at some point.
And today, it all worked out in my favor.
