Act Like It Matters
|
Hey friend, If someone followed you around for a day, would they think you are serious about your goals? It’s a brutal question. A question I often return to—especially when I feel myself slipping. It’s not meant to shame or guilt-trip you into doing more. But it’s there to remind you of the actions that you’re taking. Chances are you’re distracted. Chances are you’re not being serious about your goals. Chances are that you’re finding other things to do and putting off the work. You don’t lack time. You lack the ability to prioritise. You don’t lack energy. You lack the courage to do something uncomfortable. The most successful people don’t have more talent than you, they just did things when you chose not to. We want the outcome, not the process. The trophy, not the training. You want to be successful but you also want to be comfortable. But your ambition isn’t fuelled by convenience. Treat your goals like you treat your distractions. Quote I likedMen will run into a fire for their family, Recommendation for youNetflix n Stretch.

Just another gym annoyance. But those small moments speak volumes. You don’t re-rack the weights for symmetry, or to satisfy some OCD need for...
Hey friend, Decision-making has been on my mind a lot this year. Not the big ones, necessarily. Even the small, everyday decisions seem to hold more weight when you realise how much of life is shaped by them. But there’s a single quote that completely reframed how I think about decisions. It came from Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer: “Instead of worrying about making the right decision, make the decision right.” That line hit me. Because we tend to obsess over which option is “right,” As if...
Hey friend, There’s no easy way to control your emotions. No switch to flip. No instant solution. It’s all practice. And the tricky part? What works for one person might not work for another. But I recently came across a simple analogy that makes emotional control click in a way most people can relate to. It’s the same process you use when you want to hard reset your computer. Control – Alt – Delete. A set of key commands that anyone from the 90s remembers all too well. Microsoft’s famous...
