Every Goal Is Walking Distance

If You Stop Making Excuses

Steven Wright once said, “Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.”

Let’s be clear: he was being funny.

But the truth behind that joke?

It’s brutal, and it's exactly what most people need to hear.

Too many leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals sit around waiting for the right time, the right resources, or the right level of motivation before they move.

Meanwhile, the clock ticks, and momentum dies. Here’s the truth:

You’re not stuck, you’re stalling.

There is no magic elevator to success.

You walk.

One step at a time.

That’s it.

You’ve got a goal?

Good.

Now chop it into pieces.

Daily actions.

Weekly targets.

Monthly checkpoints.

Don’t aim to climb the mountain in a single leap, aim to take one grueling, intentional, non-negotiable step every day.

Because consistency beats intensity every single time.

Excuses are heavy.

Discipline is forward motion.

Break your goal into 3 clear phases:

Phase 1: Crawl – Learn. Plan. Get honest about your gaps.

Phase 2: Walk – Daily action. No matter what. No matter how you feel.

Phase 3: Run – Momentum builds. Now push harder. No coasting.

Progress doesn’t care about your feelings.

It doesn’t care if you’re tired.

But it will show up, if you do.

Small steps compound.

And soon?

You’ll look back and realize what used to be far-off now lives in your rearview.

If you don’t start today, tomorrow won’t save you.

Everywhere is walking distance, but only if you move.

Take action.

Start small.

Stay consistent.

Stop whining.

Start walking.

And if you need help?

I am not hard to find!
