I'm starting to think consistency is much less exciting than people make it sound, but that's probably why it works.

Most progress I've noticed in life didn't come from suddenly feeling motivated. It came from doing something slightly boring over and over until eventually it became normal.

There wasn't really a dramatic moment where everything changed. Things just slowly became easier because I kept showing up. It's not very inspirational in the movie-trailer sense, but I honestly find that more reassuring.

Not every improvement comes with a big moment where you suddenly realize everything has changed.

Sometimes you just notice that something is easier than it used to be.

A task that once took an hour now takes twenty minutes. Something you avoided has become normal. A difficult situation no longer takes up as much mental space.

Progress doesn't always feel dramatic while it's happening.

I started drawing at 39 and picked up oil painting around the time I turned 40. Before that, I had never thought of myself as an artist.

A year later, painting has become one of the most meaningful parts of my life.

I used to think the important parts of yourself were things you were supposed to discover when you were young. I don’t believe that anymore.

If there’s something you’ve always wanted to try but think you’ve waited too long, start.
