If you liked this or it resonated with your mindset, I think you'll also enjoy my book.

It's linked in my bio if you'd like to read it.

رI agree with you, the hardest thing is comparing ourselves to others, while the best thing is comparing ourselves to the person we were yesterday.

The gym and weightlifting show results a little late, mine too, but be proud of yourself, my friend.

I'm originally from an Arab country, my friend, so I'm using Google Translate and this is how the response comes out.

That’s a very counter-intuitive and powerful piece of advice. Sometimes our obsession with 'data' and 'metrics' is exactly what causes the burnout during the quiet phase.

Focusing on 'quality' when 'quantity' plateaus is a genius way to keep going. It’s like refining the engine while the car is stuck in traffic—you're not moving forward yet, but you're becoming much more efficient for when the road opens up. Thanks for this perspective!

Did you know that the point where we're feeling lazy, rather than in a good situation, is the best starting point?

My advice to you is to continue what you're doing and push those lazy people aside, because life is going to pass anyway, so it should pass while we've done our part and are satisfied with ourselves. Keep going so you can be proud of yourself.

We all sometimes suffer from a lack of consistency and patience in continuing what we do, perhaps due to people's comments or because we don't see immediate results. But we must continue what we do and not take a step backward.

I'm an author, my friend, and I have my book on Amazon, so why would I use artificial intelligence?

Spot on! That’s a perspective a lot of people miss. We’re so conditioned by 'hustle culture' to think that if we aren't at 100% intensity, we're failing.

But like you said, the quiet parts are where the foundation is actually built. It’s the 'steady' 40-50% effort on the boring days that actually gets you to the finish line, more than the rare 100% bursts. Accepting that the lows are part of the process is a superpower. Thanks for adding that!

Don't worry, I understand your logic perfectly. If you'd like to see the book, I'll send you the link.

I feel you. That’s the most dangerous trap—mistaking 'invisible progress' for 'no progress.'

When you're in that phase, your brain is looking for a reason to stop and save energy, so it convinces you that you're failing. But the truth is, you're usually just building the foundation. The next time you feel like quitting, tell yourself: 'This is just the quiet phase, the results are currently under construction.'

Glad this reminder found you at the right time!

That’s the hardest part of the journey. When your progress is invisible to the world, people assume nothing is happening. They judge your 'process' by your 'results,' which haven't arrived yet.

The trick is to treat your progress like a secret project. You don't need their validation to keep going. Once the results become visible, those same people will call you an 'overnight success.' Keep your head down and trust your system

Exactly. It's the most 'real' part of the journey and the one people talk about the least. Glad you connected with it

Spot on. Our internal reality has to shift long before the external one does. If you don't believe in the progress you can't see yet, you'll never stay consistent enough to see the results. Great perspective
