Yesterday, we talked about showing up. About taking that first step, no matter how small. But what happens when you keep showing up?
Here’s the part that no one tells you: the real rewards don’t come right away. At first, it feels like you’re putting in the effort and getting nothing in return. You write and no one reads. You train and see no progress. You sacrifice, but your life still looks the same.
This is where most people stop.
But this is also where the unseen victory begins.
Imagine planting a seed. For weeks, it sits beneath the soil, unseen. You water it, tend to it, and yet, nothing happens. If you didn’t trust the process, you’d assume nothing was growing. But in reality, the roots are forming. The foundation is being built. And then, one day, without warning—growth.
This is how change works.
Everything you do in the dark, the unnoticed work, the unseen effort—it’s all adding up. The moment you feel like quitting is the moment before the breakthrough.
So keep showing up.
Because one day, when you least expect it, everything will shift. The work you’ve been doing will suddenly come together. The strength you’ve been building will reveal itself. The person you’ve been becoming will finally step forward.
But none of that happens if you stop.
So keep going. Keep showing up. Keep watering the seed.
Because the moment is coming—the one where you realize it was all worth it.
