I started on 1 January 2026 with one push-up. Today I do 308.
Hey, I'm Samuel.
At the start of the year I began doing push-ups, one more every day. Every day it got easier and easier, and I figured out one thing.
You don't need discipline. You don't need motivation. The only thing you need is to show up every day and give your best.

This year I found out how easy it is.
My whole life I knew what I had to do, but I kept avoiding it. At the start of the year I began doing push-ups, one more every day. Every day it got easier and easier, and I figured out one thing.
You don't need discipline. You don't need motivation. You don't need words. The only thing you need is to show up every day and give your best. What you promised yourself in the morning, you have to do if you want to move.
Moving is usually the best way forward. Standing still won't get you anywhere. It doesn't matter what you do. What matters is that you do something.
When you start with push-ups, after a few days it's not enough, so you add pull-ups. Then you add another thing, and another, and another, because you need to be doing something. And suddenly, before you even know it, you're writing a book about how easy it is.
