In a previous life I beat 98 other hopefuls at a Safe Driver Rally. Rally makes it sound like it was fast and furious, but it was on the regular roads and totally within the law and speeds and conditions. At the time, I'd passed my test a few years earlier. My mum was an instructor. I borrowed her car and persuaded a friend to be a co-pilot for me (you needed a passenger and someone to navigate and read out the clues). The rally was organised by Special Police Constabulary. I WON! I beat advanced drivers and a few driving instructors. The female special constables roared. They LOVED that a female had won a driving competition. I went on to take my Advanced Driving Test and then become a Driving Instructor. As a family there was always a car to borrow. Most of my cars were hand-me-downs (a bit like clothes lol). I don't describe myself as a 'real' CAR person, but I do know my cars. My DREAM car is a campervan with a loo and shower. I'll get one one day and go digital nomad with my Skool Community. That would be sooooooo much fun. Your turn... What's YOUR dream car?

Let’s be honest, Skool is addictive! There are many amazing communities here! We all join tons! But at some point they are too much to keep up with and also some no longer resonate. I recently quit 2 and will be quitting a lot more that no longer align. I talked w the owners first and told them ahead of time, since I considered them “kind of friends” But if I never had talked w the owner I’d just quit without explaining myself to anyone. I am in some of y’all’s community and some no longer resonate or/and was there only to support and that is no longer needed - so I will gently make my way out. Will not tag, you know who you are :) I am curious how is everyone else here doing this? Share w us!

The world has always bent toward the people who believe in things that don’t exist yet. Not because belief is cute, but because without it, nothing hard, nothing big, nothing meaningful ever gets built. Cynics pride themselves on being right today. Optimists focus on being right in the end. That’s the real split. Cynics win the arguments, optimists win the world. People say "that'll never work" like they can see the future or something. They’ll doubt your decisions, your idea, your instincts, the tenth thing after the ninth thing fails. And the painful part? They’ll be right. Again and again. And again. But only until they’re not. Because the entire game is decided by that one moment when belief finally intersects with reality. That one business that doesn’t collapse. That one idea that catches fire. Your life is not measured by how many times people are right about your failures. It’s measured by the single time you proved them wrong, and everything that happened because you refused to stop trying before that moment arrived. High agency is mostly about being disagreeable and taking action in the aim you believe in. That’s why the world belongs to optimists. Not because they’re naive… but because they’re stubborn enough to keep swinging long after everyone else has gone home. PS: If you think like you think this then we should know each other, world is better with good people who understand you.

Your life is a series of decisions dictated by your mental frame. Most of us inherit a frame, which creates a longing for destructive "freedom." The Construction Process I Used To Form My Mental Frame That Serves Me: 1.Data Collection: Every time you experience something you despise, write it down. These are the negative data points that will work as holes to avoid. 2.Pattern Recognition: Reflect on your past. What do you never want to experience again? This forms the outer boundary of your new frame. 3.Decision Filter: You will have a "away from" compass. It allows you to stop, think, and consciously choose the opposite direction. Just inversion principle (popularised by Charlie Munger) at its best. This provided me the negative energy to break from the default state of existence into the one I desired.

Here’s mine: Carry the heaviest responsibilities you can bear.
