People talk a lot about raising their ceiling—their maximum potential, their peak performance, their best days.
But builders care more about the floor.
Your floor is who you are on the days you’re tired, stressed, overloaded, or stretched thin.
Your floor is the version of you that shows up when motivation is gone and the conditions aren’t ideal.
Your floor is the baseline you can rely on—not your best, but your automatic.
Raising your ceiling is exciting.
Raising your floor is transformative.
Because the higher your floor, the less you ever fall.
And the less you fall, the faster you rise.
Your future is shaped by what you demand of yourself on the ordinary days, not the extraordinary ones.
Don’t chase a higher ceiling until you’ve built an unshakable floor.
