Where I See People Quit.
It's not when the work gets hard.
It's when they realize they have to be vulnerable about how slow the progress is.
They hide their struggle.
Don't.
Vulnerability is the opposite of weakness. It’s the fuel for connection.

Stop Waiting for Inspiration. It's Not Coming.
Do you think "hard" is the starting point? It’s not.
Hard is showing up every day when your rate of progress is a whisper.
Hard is the work after the motivation dies.
That's when you decide if you're serious. That is the work.

Observations on "Being the Best”:
When you get to the top tier, you stop fighting for inches and start fighting for millimeters. That's where 99% of people quit. Excellence isn't speed; it's the tedious, quiet decision to keep pushing for that tiny bit more.

The Newbie Dopamine Trap.
We chase that fast, fun early progress. But progress slows, and suddenly we feel like a fraud. That's the sound of comparison and shame kicking in. Your worth is not tied to your rate of gain. It’s tied to your decision to show up, even when it’s slow.

Overcoming the hardest part of the lowest point.
Everything feels impossible when you’re at rock bottom. The feeling of "I don't even know where to start" is your anxiety talking. You are strong and capable, and have picked yourself up before - This is your sign to begin again.

For years I tried to change who I was to make people like me - then I realized that people will truly like me for who I am!
That day was a game changer.

Avoid pessimists.
They will shoot holes in your ideas
Never offer solutions
And they win when you don’t succeed.
