#Theweekthatwas @ 06/07/2025
The first week of the new fiscal year taught me that:
Seeking improvement without a plan, is like travelling to somewhere you've never been without directions, a guide or a map
We tend to be more careful with auditing and forecasting our finances than we are about our lives
Rules which have no relevance require more policing for compliance to ensue
Money and power may be able cover the truth for a time, but it will eventually be uncovered
Death is the ultimate equaliser
The state of the world is such that calling out evil is seen as a crime but committing the evil is not… well, depending on who's committing the evil, that is
Justice by today's standards hardly seems just
Making other people's lives easier doesn't take much but begets heaps
The significance of achievements is measured against the effort required and circumstances in which they were accomplished
When you don't hold yourself to account for the little things, it becomes increasingly hard to do so when it really matters
It's very hard to describe what makes someone come across as real or genuine but you can certainly feel it
When there isn't a strong enough reason to change, then no amount of nudging or outside help will help
And then there are times in life when you get stuck and there's no way you're getting out of there without some help.
