Ramp Up

It’s a feeling that starts early, if you’re lucky.

It’s a sense of anticipation, a particular urgency and readiness to take action.

It’s something that spurs you forward, to handle the situation, rise to the moment, do what’s necessary.

If you’re lucky, it starts early, in life, and in the moment too.

Get ready for school.

Get ready for a game.

Get ready for work.

Run further than you did last time. More reps than you did before.

Get ready to handle a particular extra task (or tasks!) after a full day at work.

More to do.

Ramp up. Ramp up.

Don’t be dissuaded. You can do it. Catch your breath. Center, and again, have at it.

RAMP UP.
