20:36Now PlayingYou’re Getting Close, That’s Why It’s Tough.
If it feels heavy right now —
good.
Because this is what hard feels like.
This is the stage where doubt gets louder.
Where progress feels slower.
Where the pressure starts to build.
And most people?
They stop here.
Not because they can’t continue.
But because they settle.
They settle for comfort.
They settle for average.
They settle for mediocrity.
Don’t settle for mediocrity.
Mediocrity is safe.
It’s predictable.
It asks nothing from you.
But it also gives you nothing.
No growth.
No pride.
No real progress.
The people who build something real —
they refuse to settle.
They refuse to accept average.
They demand more from themselves.
More discipline.
More effort.
More resilience.
And that’s why it feels tough.
Because you’re pushing beyond the level most people accept.
You’re moving into territory where fewer people go.
And when you do that —
pressure increases.
Doubt increases.
Resistance increases.
That’s normal.
Because you’re getting close.
And the closer you get —
the harder it becomes.
But there’s something worse than hard work.
Regret.
Regret of quitting.
Regret of settling.
Regret of wondering who you could have been if you kept going.
Regret doesn’t fade.
It stays.
It shows up years later.
When you realize you had the opportunity —
but chose comfort instead.
Don’t live with regret.
Don’t look back and wish you had pushed harder.
Wish you had stayed disciplined.
Wish you had believed in yourself just a little longer.
Because the truth is simple.
If it feels tough —
you’re probably getting close.
So keep going.
Push through the pressure.
Reject mediocrity.
And refuse to quit.
You’re Getting Close, That’s Why It’s Tough.
