#Theweekthatwas @ 28/09/2025
A week of searching, planning and executing had several lessons:
Growth without growing pains might mean we're not pushing ourselves hard enough
The extent of our growth is limited only by our intention and our commitment to stay the course
The ROI on investing in oneself is often underestimated or not considered at all
If it's not scary, it's probably not worth doing
When you chase perfection, you risk losing connection
Contribution can be measured in outcome as well as presence
Confidence without competence is, at best, delusional, at worst, arrogance
Competence without confidence amounts to wasted potential
Being consistent is a highly underrated personal trait
Young people, even though they may not always express it, care about their parents' wellbeing as much as their own
Knowing who you are and where you want to go eases the challenge of navigating tough decisions
When a community pulls together to deliver with sincerity, something wholesome sprouts
It's interesting that we have so many expectations of a life we haven't paid a single cent for
