This is a video about persistence. And a video that makes me proud of myself—and grateful for motivating friends. ⚔️

My previous max box jump height was 39 inches. When I shared it back in October 2023, I jokingly said “42 inches, I’m coming for you!” Well today I had that chance.

After hitting back-to-back box jumps at 39”, I wanted to go for 42”, JUST TO SEE IF I COULD. I didn’t know if I could physically jump that high, but I love a challenge and wanted to TRY. I tried… and tried… and TRIED. I was psyching myself out, about to call it QUITS; all the while my 3 friends were there cheering me on and hyping me up: “WE ARE YOUR HYPE CREW!” (I love you guys). And then the song “Jump Around” came on and my brain flipped a switch 💡⚡️. I’d already failed 16 times… STOP HOLDING BACK, Self! 🔥 And I WENT FOR IT… AND THEN I GOT IT. 42-FREAKING-INCHES. ✅ My hands are still shaking as I type this… PERSISTENCE. 💪🏼💥

I’d have stopped long before 16 failed attempts had my friends not been there. They fired me up (I seriously love you gals!). I’d have stopped long before that also if it wasn’t something I was HUNGRY FOR... I. WANTED. THAT. HEIGHT. 🎯 I wanted it bad. So I chased it. One win after 16 failed attempts is still A WIN. I still can’t believe it for myself.

42 inch box jumps may not be a “thing” for everyone else. But maybe 18 inches or 24 inches or 36 inches is something you’re going for. Maybe it’s a deadlift or a pull-up or a run time or a weight loss number or a reading challenge or a networking numbers or a job goal you’re chasing. Whatever it is—CHASE IT. KEEP TRYING. FAIL… and then GET BACK UP AND TRY AGAIN. PERSISTENCE, baby. Light that fire 🔥.
