The long route is the real shortcut because people quit when things get hard. No challenge lasts forever: either you quit, it eases, or you get stronger. The speaker's mantra: "This is for now, not forever."

The thing they don't tell you is the long way is the shortcut because the shortcut never gets you there. And so people quit when things get hard because the thought of things being hard forever feels unbearable. But that's a lie because nothing's hard forever. You either quit, it gets easier, or you get harder. But no matter what, the hard always ends. And the only way you lose is if you quit before seeing it through. And so what I try to tell myself when I'm in those like kind of harder times is this This is for now, not forever.
