Dear Max,

Today was your first time on a plane. Ten months in and the flight attendant gave you her wings – that’s really something.

Firsts are always special, and so are lasts. But, what about the middle? We out so much emphasis on the beginnings and ends of things that we ignore the most crucial part. The middle allows you to grow and explore.

Pressuring ourselves to focus on starting something is wrong. When you start you’re not going to be the greatest. You’ll only find your ‘est when you put in the work – in the middle.

Love,

Dad
