Hour after hour, bluff after bluff—it felt like they’d never end.
Long road trips will do that. They stretch your patience and test your spirit.
But they teach you something real.
You can’t just stop—you’ll get nowhere.
You can’t turn around—it’s wasted gas.
There’s only one direction that matters: forward.
And somewhere beyond all those turns, the view opens up—the road flattens, the light changes, and you realize how far you’ve come.
It’s the same with building your body—or anything worth doing.
The sets blur together. The weeks roll on.
But if you keep hammering, you’ll get there.
Stop, and you’re left on the shoulder. Turn around, and you’re left in the dust.
Keep going—and you’ll rise over the next bluff stronger than before.

Something to Ponder
Are your dreams—your physique, your mission, your purpose—sitting on the shoulder? Did you turn back when it got steep? Maybe it’s time to climb back behind the wheel, fire it up, and hit the gas. The road’s still there.
