A Head Start

By Zackary Meier

Lately this past month I’ve been finding myself getting up earlier than normal. In a sense it’s a way to get a head start on our competition. Essentially our competition is ourselves. Each day we should strive to outperform what we did the day prior. All too often it is easy to forget how just an inch forward is still progress. These inches add up to feet which add up to miles over time.

Waking up early, has allowed me to start my journey feeling fresh and focused.  A tremendous sense of progress and momentum generates, which allows me to catch my stride. Once we hit our stride, the feet easily turn into yards, and we forget just how far we’re moving, regardless of how slow it may seem.
