26 LESSONS I'm taking into 2026 👇🏾 lesson 1: the person you marry is the most important career decision you’ll ever make. lesson 2: failure isn’t the opposite of success - it’s the tuition fee. lesson 3: the first thought you have is often the truest. Trust it more. lesson 4: regret is always louder than rejection. lesson 5: do not let the internet tell you how hard you should or shouldn't work. lesson 6: everything is figure-out-able if you’re willing to look stupid. lesson 7: anger is often just fear in disguise. lesson 8: your health is the foundation under every ambition. Without it, nothing stands. lesson 9: if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it deeply. lesson 10: your childhood is an explanation, not a justification. lesson 11: you become unstoppable the day embarrassment stops being a price you fear. lesson 12: if it costs your peace, it’s too expensive. lesson 13: the people you love will always be your best investment. lesson 14: growth feels a lot like loss at first. lesson 15: if you can’t change it, change how you see it. lesson 16: most timeframes and delays people give you are fake - it's just "how it's always been done". Your job is to push on them to see if they're made of concrete or paper. lesson 17: your energy introduces you before your words do. Get right with yourself. lesson 18: your biggest opportunities will show up dressed as problems lesson 19: the people who win are the ones who can suffer boredom. lesson 20: success is rarely about doing more - it’s about deleting what doesn’t matter. lesson 21: great work is just good work repeated. Be consistent, not perfect. lesson 22: protecting your time is the highest form of self-care and self-respect. lesson 23: fear shrinks when you move toward it. lesson 24: discipline is easier than regret lesson 25: don’t just chase goals. Chase environments that make those goals inevitable. lesson 26: mind your own business. I’m curious, which of these lessons did you have to learn the hard way? Drop the number in the comments. Or, if you have a Lesson 27 that I missed, leave it below. I’ll be reading through ❤️

A warm welcome to @Michael Carnahan who like me is fascinated by the mind and finds it an interesting subject too. A warm welcome Michael. 😊

Collective behaviour shapes us more than we think. We pick up confidence, calm and doubt from the spaces and people around us, often before we make a conscious choice. Spend time in supportive environments and confidence grows. Stay around tension and judgement, and it slowly fades. This is why turning up regularly matters. Just being present in the right space can change how you feel, think and ride. Small, consistent exposure creates big shifts.

A warm welcome to @Marcia Watson who joins us from the USA and is looking for positivity. It’s lovely to have you join us. 😊
