Keep Going: The Beautiful Truth About Persistence

In this inspiring talk, Lou shares his journey of returning to running after a six-month injury and the hard-earned lesson of pushing through setbacks. Whether in athletics, art, parenting, or business, he reminds us that true progress comes from persistence—sticking with it even when it feels like nothing is working. By embracing the hard moments, we open the door to the breakthroughs that make the journey worthwhile.

This is a hard one for me. It took a handful of times trying before I was able to fully complete it. Embracing the hard times is something I’ve really struggled with. My goal in 2026 is to build confidence, so I appreciate the suggestion of the course at the end of the meditation.

This is not always fun. Heck, not *usually* fun. But, it seems "embracing the suck" is sometimes a requirement in staying on track. It's been a tough year, navigating bureaucracy to get my wife's green card, launching a huge software project at work. Along with the typical trials of two teenage boys. But 2026 is just around the next bend. And maybe it will suck, too, but probably not; the suck tends to end soon enough. Appreciate you, and this timely talk!

Thank you, Lou, this talk really hit home. I’m going to make “Embrace the suck,” my mantra as I face upcoming surgeries, and treatments. You are an inspiration.

Super inspiring! Thanks Lou.
