I was hiking in California with some friends, and Jasen Murray said something to the effect of
When you’re climbing, you must only keep your balance. It doesn’t matter if you’re at the top of a cliff, or on a branch, or on the ground — the height can’t make you fall over, only losing your balance can.
That idea’s really stuck with me a lot.
Especially now in the final push of the book it’s worth remembering. We’re on a deadline, yes, but all we need to do is to keep on doing what we’ve been doing. Finishing on time is possible, and all we have to do is perform at the levels we have been.
All we have to do is keep our balance.
