Follow Your Intuition
|
Hey friend, A few months ago, I moved to Spain. Not for work. Not for strategy. But because something inside me said, Go. My surroundings didn’t match where I was in life anymore. I’d always felt like the black sheep—and when I heard the line, “There’s this feeling that when you leave where you’re from, you don’t feel like you belong there any more, that you never really felt like you belonged.” from the film Aftersun, it hit me. So I listened to the pull. In Spain, everything felt different. More open. More alive. Within two weeks, I met more people than I had in six months back home. I thought I’d lose momentum by leaving. But the move gave me clarity, connection, and energy. Sometimes the thing that makes no sense on paper is exactly what you need. So if you’re feeling the urge to jump, even without a plan— Follow it. It might just be the thing that changes everything. Quote I likedResilience is not a thing; it’s who you are.

The Game Plan
Take on the next week with lessons, perspectives, or insights for your mindset.
Hey friend, I rewatched a clip from a Jim Carrey commencement speech, where he talked about his father. His dad had the chance to follow a passion — ironically, comedy — but chose a “safe” job instead. A practical option. A stable path. But the safe path wasn’t so safe. He was laid off. Lost everything. And that’s when Carrey realised: if even the safe option can fail, why not take a chance on what you really want? That lesson stuck with me. But — it comes with a warning. As Scott Galloway...
Hey friend, Real quick, I've got an idea for coaches, so if you are on, check this out. Anyway. I found this neat little trick you can use when your mind starts spiralling — when you’re anxious, under pressure, or frustrated. Most of us, when we feel overwhelmed, get swept away by our emotions. We start running on autopilot. Thoughts get loud. Rational thinking disappears. And we spiral. One way to stop that spiral is to disassociate — to create just enough space between you and what you’re...
Hey friend, I think we witnessed one of the greatest sporting finals in a long time — if not in history. But more than that, we witnessed something that can teach us a lesson in life. Carlos Alcaraz was 5–3 down in the third set against Jannik Sinner. And while many in that situation — after a long tournament, a long journey toward something they desperately want — would throw in the towel, Alcaraz didn’t. He showed us how sport is a mirror to life. Because if you can bring yourself back to...
