I love the training sequence in Batman Begins. Hidden away in a mountain monastery, Bruce Wayne spars on a frozen lake and runs punishing drills in the most challenging conditions. The lighting is cinematic and the commitment is total – because that’s what it takes to become a man who will eventually fight crime in a cape.
I relate to this so much Danny! You are right, goals mean nothing if you’re not willing to trade anything for it. And, the concept of defining your floor, your bare minimum is the most practical way to not remain in the aspirational state forever. I always tell myself to do the smallest thing I can today.. write one paragraph, do one push up, read one page.. and then do it consistently to form the habit.
That’s a great way to approach it, Shalini. Starting with something small enough that it actually happens, and then repeating it, is what turns an aspiration into something real.
I love the way you framed that - thanks for sharing!

"Aiming high isn’t the problem. Pretending you’re aiming high is" ....
Monday morning strong cuppa coffee, smack on the head stuff.
Well written and thanks.
I’m glad that line landed, Craig. Sometimes a clear sentence first thing Monday morning is exactly what we need.
Thanks for reading!
