Weakness haunts all men. All of them.
Weakness haunts all men. All of them.
I’m not talking necessarily about physical weakness, like being too weak to lift heavy things. No, I’m talking about the real weakness: weakness of spirit. Weakness of will. The inability to take action.

The times we could have done more eat at your self-esteem. They rob you of your self-respect and diminish your belief in your potential.

We’ve all had moments where we could have done more but didn’t. The true art of a full life is to minimize those moments when your inner bitch wins the battle and maximizes your ability to rise and grind. There is an art to this. Unfortunately, most of us don’t treat our lives like a work of art.

It is a very rare person who can lie down at the end of a day with full confidence that they have done their absolute best, and an even rarer person that can do that consistently, day after day, year after year, until the days of laziness and self-pity are but a distant memory, drowned out by the years and years of action and discipline.

I read once that if you run a marathon it takes your body six months to fully recover. I don’t know who wrote that, but someone needs to tell that silly bitch that there’s a guy in Oregon with a full-time job with the department of water and power who runs multiple marathons every week.

Cameron Hanes, on the other hand, has been successful on every single archery hunt he’s been on over the last ten years. It’s almost impossible to overemphasize how extraordinary that is.

The average success rate on hunting a bull elk with a bow is about 10 percent. So that’s one kill every ten years or one guy out of ten who is going to have success. That’s never going to be good enough for me. Never was, never will be. Average sucks.

It’s not talent; it’s drive. It’s not raw ability; it’s endurance.

Regardless of how it may appear, this book isn’t about bowhunting. It’s not an advice book. I don’t tell people what to do, nor do I try to speak for others. I just share what I do and what I’m passionate about, because life without passion is simply existence in my opinion.

We are all hunters in a sense, searching for a more meaningful life. Too many times the weight of this world becomes too heavy to carry through the mountains, so we turn back toward safer, more comfortable conditions. Too often we find ourselves waiting and wondering when success will find us. These pages provide the motivation to keep moving, to stay steadfast, and to be ready for that moment.

Rather than a book about hunting, these pages are about enduring. I love the word endure. That’s what life is all about. There are hard times. It’s a long race. Sometimes it can feel like a battle. For those ...

Keep hammering isn’t some clever motto. It is a wake-up call to meaning. It’s a reference that reminds us to pound away at the lie of impossible.

What I tell them is that you just need to get out the door and worry about today only. Don’t worry about tomorrow. Don’t worry about a week from now. You worry about today. Win the day. Do something positive. Worry about tomorrow tomorrow. To me, that is what enduring means. To get some positive direction going. To build up some momentum. What you’re barely doing day one, you’re doing easily on day twenty. That’s how it works. You have to get started and then you have to endure.

A life well lived isn’t a sprint down a smooth track but a steady jog up a rocky trail. Even if you’re born a natural runner, the race of life involves preparation, perseverance, and a resistance to passivity. This is your call to adventure. Let’s take a journey together.

All I’m asking is that you get up and go. I don’t give answers; I take action. I’m not trying to educate; I’m leading by example. I don’t talk about tomorrow; I live out today.
