I have had ENOUGH of thoughts that circle Which only seem to be a hurdle Of playing by an unwritten rule Of thinking that I am a fool Enough of thinking I am not enough, That love must hurt, and life be tough. ENOUGH Of being a prisoner to the past, Of carrying guilt that shouldn’t last, Of shrinking in familiar pain, Of walking round the same old chain. I’ve had ENOUGH of inner fights, Enough, enough Of restless nights, Of stories told a thousand times That echo lies and dull my shine So now I stop, I breathe and feel. And in the stillness, I begin to heal. I forgive myself. For not knowing, For falling short, For barely glowing For being messy, human and flawed For feeling like a massive fraud Because perfection is just a well-lit lie, A curated lens where the truth is shy. Social feeds show polished frames, But not the nights we hide in shame. So I forgive the parts I masked The times I failed at every task. The self I judged, the love I lacked For myself and those who had my back Permission to move on from the past It is granted at long last Move on now, no delay We get one life to walk our way I love you in the ups and downs Right now and during my future meltdowns I love you because you dared to break, And rise again, for your own sake. I love the next version of me The once who is wilder, wiser, free. I ignite the fire within, This time we are going all in. No more retreat, no more pretend, No more waiting for the perfect end. The moment is now and it is real. This moment is where I choose to heal. Because I have had enough of holding back. Of self abandonment dressed in lack. I choose the self who stands and sees Who speaks with love, and walks with ease. Enough is enough. I know the road’s been rough, But today’s a brand-new start A chance to lead with heart. No need to fake or spin You’re ready now. Go win

Last night, I deliberately slept outside no tent. No comforts. Just me, the cold, and a bunch of people I didn't know. This is the reality a lot of people live every day in the UK. It was uncomfortable. But it did wake me up. Recently I have been my mind has been overly focused on the current issues I have which often brings anxiety in the mornings. But This morning when I woke up... I experience true gratitude, the kind that I have not experienced in a while. Gratitude for a comfortable bed. Gratitude for comfortable home. Gratitude for being able to take a shower, wear nice clothes be with my loving family. The ancient Stoics knew all about this trick people like Diogenes, Epictetus, Seneca, they all practiced voluntary hardship. They deliberately exposed themselves to discomfort to remind themselves that comfort isn't guaranteed, strength is built in adversity and that freedom comes from needing less, not having more. We often say we're grateful, some of us jounral about it. But sometimes the only way to really feel it… is to go without. 🔹 Over 354,000 people are homeless right now in England. 🔹 Over 161,500 of them are children. 🔹 Veterans are significantly overrepresented among those sleeping rough. I can not truly imagine living that every day with no way out. If you ever feel disconnected, numb, or stuck chasing "more"...I challenge you: step outside your comfort zone. Maybe even literally sleep out? (If you want to take it a step further, look up CEO Sleepout — they organise events to raise money and awareness for homelessness.) Gratitude isn’t found in more comfort it is found through hardship Stay strong. Stay awake.We’re all just one step away from a very different life. 👉 Has anyone here ever done anything like this before? I’d love to hear your experiences.

This weekend I was reminded about the very first positive psychology books I ever read, The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson. Having re-read the book I maintain this to be one of the best self help books out there and I am so grateful it was the book that 'popped my cherry' into this world of self improvement. Before I read that book I didn't like/rolled my eyes at the idea of improving ones mindset/ self, so if you are in that same place, I get it. I saw reading these books as some kind of weakness, but the truth is admitting you need some help is no bad thing. I was gifted this book while on tour with the Army in Afghanistan, I was thinking about investing into property for the first time. The guy who gave me the book was already invested in property and enrolled me into reading the book. What I learnt didn't just apply to property investing. It changed the trajectory of my life. At the time I smoked, I couldn't do a pull up, I wasn't particularly fit, I had never seen my abs. One of the principles that stood out to me what this idea of things being easy to do and easy not to do. I was in the mindset that achieving these big things were impossible for me. But the truth of the matter is that if one human being can do it, so can another. It boils down to the realisation that there are set of simple easy to do decisions that need to be made and executed on a daily basis. It is easy to say no to a cigarette once. It is easy to have a salad rather than chips once. It is easy to invest a small about of money into a savings account once. It is easy to go for a workout... So why dont we do it? Because we are focused on the end result, not the process of getting there. Collectively as a society we have forgotten that time is on our side. We have forgotten that things take time to materialise. We live in an instant gratification world were we click a button and things appear, the quicker the better, sometimes my internet deliveries arrive on the same day! The problem with most of the things that we really want...

I watched the video this morning. TBH my first thought was …. When is he going to get to the point? My second thought was what a great story about Deuce Lutui and then the more I listened the more I got the message he’s talking about me! About you! About everyone! We all have the power within us, we just have to find it and release it and commit to it… so I said yesterday I wanted to improve my self confidence and hoped that someone else could give me some top tips for doing that but actually .. it’s me… I have the confidence in me, it’s been there all the time! So I’m going to say it now and say it clear … I am the creator of Weebert’s World and it is the best Children’s Brand In The World…I commit to making healthy choices for my food, my lifestyle, my exercise so that I can show up every day with energy, passion, and joy, ready to share the magic of Weebert’s World with children everywhere. I commit to nurturing my creativity and imagination, pushing past doubts, because I believe deeply in the difference Weebert can make. And most importantly, I commit to myself—to honouring who I am, trusting in what I create, and inspiring others to unlock their imaginations too. TBOLITNFL isn't just about Deuce Lutui; it's about each of us finding our own internal confidence and well….. being. But then maybe you saw something different? Was I just hearing what I wanted to hear?
