The Law of Effort and Competency

The Law of Effort and Competency

👉 Every effort is a victory. The first step is no less honorable than the last.

The essence of this law is simple: when you climb a mountain, every step matters.

The first step is no less honorable than the last
👉 Each step is equally important as the last.

But the world rarely sees this truth. It celebrates only the final step at the summit — the product launch, the award, the recognition — and mistakes it as the whole victory.

In reality, the last step is never a standalone achievement.
👉 It is only possible because of every step that came before it.

And sometimes, people never even begin — because the summit looks too far away. They forget that the peak is reached not in one leap, but in small, steady steps.

The Hidden Danger

When we focus only on the peak and ignore the journey, we violate the Law of Effort — and the law punishes us.

• We get frustrated staring at the summit, wondering "When will I reach it?"
• We forget that joy is not in the destination but in each step forward.
• We fail to realize: 👉 the path is not given in advance — it is formed only when you take the steps.

And when we believe only the peak matters, forgetting that victory was present in every step along the way:

• Progress stalls.
• Joy turns into burden.
• Victory feels hollow.

💡 The Law of Effort reminds us: the climb itself is the victory. Every step is already success.
