One of the things that really humbled me in recent years is the realization that I’m often only halfway in on anything I do. I’m rarely ever really all in.
For example, I might join a coaching program with the idea of trying it out but be unsure if I can do it. Then, when things start to get hard or overwhelming, I might start looking for the exit or hide so that I don’t have to be embarrassed. Halfway in means being ready to be all the way out.
Another example: I commit to meditating every day. Then, when I’m meditating, instead of being fully in the meditation, maybe I’m waiting for it to be over or giving myself reasons I should end early. Then two days into it, maybe I really don’t feel like it, so I skip it. Then I find reasons to keep skipping it. This is even less than halfway in….
