No Shortcuts

Can’t just jump to the finish line Need to put in the work along the way Would be nice to only reap the gains But no shortcuts despite what others say Progress needs to build upon itself Can’t just jump to the finish line Collecting credits creates compounding Building up as our thoughts begin to shine Focus on improving the inputs The outputs will come in due time Can’t just jump to the finish line Must start at the trailhead for our climb After reaching the summit we may Realize the mosaic in the puzzle design Stop to reflect before scaling a new mountain Because we can’t just jump to the finish line
