FIELD NOTES // 007 – The Ones Who Stayed

Everyone starts strong.

They show up loud.
They post.
They commit—at least online.

They swear this is it.
The new them.
No turning back.

⸻

But then… the hype fades.
The soreness sets in.
The results take too long.
And most people vanish.

They ghost the work.
They ghost themselves.

⸻

But a few?
A few stay.

They keep showing up.
They don’t need hype.
They don’t need cameras.
They don’t even need to feel like it.

They stay because they’ve made a decision.

Not to dabble.
But to become.

⸻

No noise.
No excuses.
Just repetition.

⸻

This Field Note is for the ones who stayed long after the fire went out.
Who laced up in silence.
Who got back under the bar when no one was watching.
Who kept going when everyone else left.

Because that’s when it starts to count.
Not when it’s easy—
But when it’s quiet.
