I thought I was making progress. I was putting in the time, going through the motions, doing the work. But nothing was actually happening. No real results, no real improvement—just movement.
Like strumming a guitar and assuming I was making music.
Effort without intention is just noise. You can show up every day, but if you’re not focused on getting better, you’re just running in place. The difference between practice and progress is deliberate effort.
So I stopped just strumming. I started listening. Adjusting. Learning. That’s when things finally changed.
Activity isn’t achievement. Make it count.
