About six weeks ago I met a woman at the local climbing gym. We ended up having a conversation, which I wish I could have a video recording of. Inspiration, personified.
She is in her mid 60s, and outclimbed men in their 20s, up and down the rock walls, on the most difficult levels, for the better part of two hours. I approached her, just because I could not pass up an opportunity to talk to someone who clearly has a unique ability.
As it turns out, she started climbing on her 50th birthday!
I can not even imagine, how that happens. It is quite an undertaking, requiring a great deal of strength, flexibility, endurance, the ability and willingness to learn all about the tools and methods. And while I am not trying to overstate the age factor, it certainly is another challenge, added to that mix.
And you know what she told me, her secret was? I imagine you have guessed it already – persistence.
She learned the same way everyone else did, realizing that she had no physical handicap preventing her to. She told me that her children and grandchildren tried to dissuade her, but of course that was of no use.
“My hands and feet work, my arms and legs work, the rest is just getting out of the house, showing up here, and putting my time in.”
I may not be quoting verbatim, but that’s what she gave me as her rationale.

With the Web Program, you are getting all the tools to learn about how to reverse your myopia. I added the forum so we could talk about challenges, opinions, and progress reports – so you are not working on the program in a vacuum.
Aside from having the course outline, and the support forum, all you really need, is persistence.
Vision improvement is certainly not more complex than rock climbing, and as long as you make habits out of the program contents, you will continue to improve your eyesight. Causation is the same for all of us, and over the years I refined the approach to be as simple and effective as possible.
I was reminded of this, since Kelly resurfaced, with a new update on her progress. If you remember, Kelly was not seeing results for quite a while initially, but refused to give up. My favorite part from her latest update:
I was thinking though that I might reduce to -2.75 for my walks. I need to buy these though, so today as an experiment I went out with a pair of -2.50 that I have and was able to push focus with them just as well as with the -3.00 (standing at same distances etc.
The whole thread, going back to early July, is here.
Most improvement stories in the forum start with less challenge than Kelly had. It is reasonable to expect strong improvements, right from the beginning. But whether it is initial challenge, or getting off track later on, staying on top of minimizing strain, using the correct prescriptions, and getting some stimulus (active focus), is all you really need.
Enjoy!
