Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still not seeing results?
You’re eating better.
You’re moving more.
You’re trying to stay consistent.
And yet it’s hard to tell if it’s actually working.
It’s frustrating. It’s discouraging. And it’s exactly where so many people give up.
But let me tell you something:
Progress doesn’t always show up with a big announcement.
Progress often looks invisible until it doesn’t.
You don’t feel stronger after one workout.
You don’t see changes after one healthy meal.
You don’t notice the mindset shift after saying no to something that doesn’t serve you.
But those tiny decisions?
They add up in the background, slowly shifting your energy, your confidence, your strength.
And then one day, almost without realizing it, you do something you never thought you could.
Like standing at Station #10 of a DEKA Strong race.
Let me tell you, I’ve been there.
My legs are toast.
My heart is pounding.
My inner voice is screaming, What are you doing? You can’t finish this!
It would be so easy to stop. To walk away. To say, That’s enough for today.
But then, I hear them.
The voices.
Cheering. Encouraging. Believing in me when I’m not so sure I believe in myself.
“Come on, Teresa—you’ve got this!”
“Just one more push!”
And somehow, I find it.
That last bit of strength.
The grit to keep going.
And when I finish? That feeling?
It’s not just about crossing a finish line. It’s proof that all the hard work I didn’t think was doing anything was.
Your breakthrough might be just ten steps away.
That’s the thing about progress.
It often shows up right after you feel like quitting.
It’s hidden in those moments when you’re questioning everything, wondering if it’s even worth it.
And it reveals itself in your persistence. In your courage to keep going even when you can’t see what’s coming next.
So if you’re in a season where you feel like you’re doing everything “right” and still not seeing results.
Don’t stop.
Take ten more steps.
Because you might just be closer than you think.
