All Clay, All Day

What you unearth isn’t always what you expect

I thought it would be easy to dig up a section of grass and lay down some paving stones.

What could go wrong?

As it turns out, clay is much harder to dig through than dirt — my body has borne the punishment.

I now walk like Monty Burns — stooped over in a slow shuffle.

Embarking on a new journey can be stressful and full of uncertainty. However, that doesn’t mean we should avoid changing course.

Tomorrow, I will be fine—walking normally and ready to continue digging. I hope to turn this clay pile into a beautiful walking path by next week.

As you evolve, don’t let a natural sediment stop you from actualizing your potential. Change tactics, but don’t jump ship.

Hard times create resilient people.
