Merry Christmas and happy holidays, all! Much love and all the finest celebrations to you all! Very grateful for how this community and all you incredible folks have become dear friends all the way🙌🫶 I want to maximally walk my talk, so I will be sharing more performative stuff musically AND verbally on video moving forward. Here’s to doing the scary thing🤙 What does being ‘bold’ mean to you in this stage of life?

We are all making sacrifices in life. How do you know you're making ones you're happy and proud of? A 'good' sacrifice would be an example like chess. If you can bait the opponent with a lower quality character - pawn - to take out a higher value one, then that's a 'good' sacrifice. Something lower for something of greater value. Right? So what sacrifices are you making to exchange lower value for higher value in life? It comes in ALL forms. Time to cook - healthier body Time checking in on friends - harmonious relationships Work for $$$... but are we content with that value exchange? Where is the discontent in your life? It may be attached to a value exchange you may be unhappy with, but haven't yet put it into words. I was unhappy being so exhausting being a physical labourer. I put a lot of pride in being the strongest worker. But I was just the most tired guy getting paid the same as the laziest guy. It is WISDOM and TEACHABILITY that raises your salary. So I became a learner, so I could replace my physical labour and delegate projects. Some people are happy to explore the pride of strong workers, but we need a backbone to ask how we may elevate our value and position ourselves in new skills to actually elevate our compensation. You're allowed to be discontent IF you are willing to do the uncomfortable work and navigate into the unknown and explore different variations of sacrifice to feel contentment with your energetic exchange in the world. What sort of 'good' sacrifices have you made in your life? How did it feel navigating those choices?

We’re often quick to judge where we are instead of noticing it. Finish this sentence gently: This season of my life feels like __________. ✨ I’ll go first: a pause. Not to fall behind — but to listen, breathe, and let myself arrive where I am. Nothing to rush. Nothing to prove. Choosing presence now, so my next step can be honest. How would you describe yours?

Sometimes the win isn’t what you do — it’s what you don’t do. • Not responding immediately • Not committing too quickly • Not making a decision just to relieve pressure That pause? That’s discernment and discernment changes the quality of your life. 💛 What’s something you intentionally didn’t rush this week?

Hey people, I’m spending my downtime in this strange country recalibrating my soul on reflection to all the goodness that this weird year has been! I’m taking my downtime until the new year to message EVERYBODY who’s had a positive impact on my year. There is nothing more soothing than meditating on the goodness of life and spending time reminding others that they are uniquely appreciated. The more elaborate and specific the better! It will fill your holidays with a depth and sense of connection that’s as close as an intentional text away. Voice-notes are all the sweeter🤌 Ultimate points for hand-written letters. It lasts the longest and is your voice hand-crafted in every slant and swoop. What do you love most about the holidays? Any traditions you’ve grown over the years to make it sweeter?
