Reminders for myself

Instead of “How are you?” ask, “What’s been on your mind this week?” Then pause. Let silence do some work. Don’t pivot the moment they finish.

What if purpose isn’t something we find , but something we participate in ? Meaning doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It is shaped in relation, through the push and pull of being with others, through showing up, through being witnessed, through witnessing. A life of meaning is not self-contained. It is interwoven.

This is the paradox of convenience: it promises more time, more ease, more freedom, but often delivers the opposite. The more we optimize, the more we isolate. The more frictionless our interactions become, the less real they feel.

When we stop trying to optimise ourselves within broken systems and start building something entirely new, something that trusts our inner wisdom, conserves our energy, and values our wellbeing, extraordinary things become possible.

We move through our days like we're being hunted. Everything feels urgent, because we've been taught that speed is good, and that efficiency is a moral virtue. We feel guilty about taking time to think, to process, to simply exist without producing . We've learned that busy = important, that rest = laziness.

Being consistent doesn’t mean doing the same thing every day.

It means practicing the art of showing up.

Today, that might look like working on your goals.

Tomorrow, it might mean feeling your feelings.

See yourself holistically.

Do what truly supports you.

Make experimentation your most consistent practice.
