We’ve all been there.
You set a goal. You show up daily. You push. You grind.
And then one day… you pause and ask, “Is this even working?”

This month, I want to remind you:
Just because something hasn’t visibly moved or shifted doesn’t mean you haven’t grown.
Let me share a story about a man, a wizard, and a boulder—a story that might just change the way you measure progress from here on out.


THE MAN, THE WIZARD, AND THE BOULDER

A man once visited a wizard with one wish:
”I want to be physically stronger. I want to look like the world’s strongest man.”

The wizard agreed.
He pointed to a massive boulder behind him and said,
“Push that boulder up the hill. Every single day.”
So the man did.
Rain or shine. Day after day. He pushed.
After three months, he grew frustrated.
He measured the boulder’s movement—an inch and a half.
Furious, he returned to the wizard and accused him of being a fraud.
The wizard calmly snapped his fingers, and a mirror appeared.
The man stared at his reflection—broader shoulders, powerful legs, defined arms.
“You measured the boulder,” the wizard said.
“But you should’ve measured yourself. You asked to become stronger—and you did.”

THE BREAKTHROUGH IS COMING

Just because the boulder hasn’t moved doesn’t mean you haven’t grown and developed.
Every rep, every push, every unseen effort is building something in you—and in those around you—that will outlast any outcome.

Maybe your team isn’t winning as often as you’d like…
Maybe you’re not hitting every quarterly mark…
Maybe your business isn’t growing as fast as you hoped…
But here’s what I know:
  • You used to let setbacks knock you down—but now you’re treating them as challenges to overcome.
  • Your team that once avoided adversity is now standing strong and finding solutions together.
  • And you? You’re no longer letting one tough moment derail your whole day.
You’re more focused, more grounded, and more committed than ever—because deep down,
you know a breakthrough is coming.


YOUR PURSUIT OF GREATNESS

1. Maybe your rock is to gain more knowledge—not get more recognition.
2. Maybe your rock is to develop a new skill—not chase new status.
3. Maybe your rock is to build deeper relationships—not expand your network.
4. Maybe your rock is to strengthen the bond inside your home—not grow a following outside of it.
5. And maybe—just maybe—your rock hasn’t moved…

But your patience has grown.
Your character has matured.
Your mindsethas sharpened.
Your spirit has deepened.

The growth is happening, whether the rock moves or not.
The boulder might not budge. But you? You’ve leveled up.



So keep pushing.
Keep showing up.
Because greatness isn’t found at the top of the hill…
It’s forged in the push.
