The Fit Comes With the Steps

A new pair of shoes never fits perfectly at first. They pinch, rub, and make you second-guess if you should have just stuck with the old pair—comfortable but worn out. But the only way to make them yours is to keep walking. Step by step, the material softens, the shape molds to you, and soon, the discomfort disappears.

Growth works the same way. When you step into something new—a habit, a challenge, a goal—it won’t feel natural at first. The discipline, the effort, the change—it all feels foreign, like something meant for someone else. But it’s not.

The key is consistency. Keep walking, keep showing up, and soon, the things that once felt forced become second nature.

Practical Applications

• Building Discipline: If waking up earlier feels unnatural, don’t aim for perfection. Start with 15 minutes earlier and build from there.

• New Habits: Replacing mindless phone scrolling in the morning with five minutes of deep breathing can feel strange at first—but over time, it sets a calmer, more intentional tone for the day.

• Stepping into a Leadership Role: At first, it might feel like you're "wearing shoes too big for you," but growth happens in the stretch. Each decision, challenge, and uncomfortable moment helps you break into it.

• Letting Go of the Old: Just like you wouldn’t keep shoes that no longer support you, don’t hold onto habits, relationships, or mindsets that keep you stuck.

The discomfort of change isn’t a sign you’re doing something wrong. It’s proof that you’re stepping into something new—something that, in time, will feel like it was always meant to be yours.
