The Grind

In the arena
In my element
In the zone
Pure focus, pure action.

Remember me for faster sign in

On the sidelines
Those on the fence
With the crowd
Pure distraction, cheap talk.

Both feet in: loyal to the process
One foot out: no skin in the game
No one to trust but the silent progress:
In the long, boring stuff: a foundation against the storm.

Showing up every day though nothing to show for it yet
Building, until the light breaks through
To bless the world.

A slow climb is not a fall;
A fast start is no promise of tomorrow.
