This storm is making me tired, said the boy. Storms get tired too, said the horse. So hold on.

Backpacker gently touching a horse at sunset on a hillside, faint rainbow in the sky. Quote reads, “This storm is making me tired,” said the boy. “Storms get tired too,” said the horse. “So hold on.” by Charlie Mackesy.

Tough days happen on the road and on projects. Maybe the weather turns, plans fall through, or the work feels heavier than expected. This line from Charlie Mackesy’s 2019 book The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse is a good reminder to breathe and keep going. Storms pass.

Hold on to small routines, lean on your hosts and teammates, and take the next simple step. Progress often looks quiet at first, then suddenly you notice the sky clearing.
