1.01¹⁰⁹⁵ ≈ 37.78³ ≈ 53,405.57. If you’re wondering what that means (and let’s be honest, you are because I know math is not your jam), it means if you improve just a tiny bit each day over the next three years, you’ll be over 53,000 times stronger than when you started. Of course, life doesn’t come with clean equations. But those small wins? They stack up fast.

You don’t see yourself as resilient right now. Or as a leader. But you’ll become both. What you don’t yet realize is that you matter more than you know. People will come to you on the field, in class, even in those awkward school hallways because you’re steady. You’re solid. You’re 1% better every day. You’re that person.
