Before the world taught me to behave, before responsibility rearranged my path, before fear replaced imagination… Who did I want to become? Not the job. Not the résumé. The identity I felt forming beneath the surface. A hero? A creator? A protector? A wanderer of hidden places? Most of us outgrew the dream before we understood what it meant. But here’s the truth: What you wanted to be was never childish. It was pure direction. A signal from the part of you that hasn’t been edited by expectation. So… return to that voice for a moment. What did you want to be? And what remains of that desire now? Share below. Not to chase nostalgia… but to remember the thread you were never meant to drop.

As we look at the threshold of crossing over from 2025 to 2026 I am sharing what I read this afternoon BECAUSE for all of us that are building something - this question matters: "Productivity is a prison sentence if you are not ALIVE in what you are building." That really landed with me and revealed the truth that in all my "planning" re the Skool community I want to build...I've been playing it 'safe' and staying-in-the-lines (of the colouring book) of what I THINK I should be creating. Yet when I think ahead to 2026 and the consistency that will be required to reach the goals I've set - I don't feel alive. I feel same-samey or self-limiting in order to fit a mould I think I should fit. So - back to the drawing board for me. Am responsible for that next step now that I have this awareness. Thank goodness I realised this NOW and not half way into next year.
