#Theweekthatwas @ 26/10/2025
In a week of transitions, I learned that:
People will strive for certainty over that which serves them
Feeling the need to apologise for things you're not responsible for is not a sign of politeness, it's a habit learned from undue blame
Even if you're not the most skilled, you can always be the most committed
Doors that were never meant to be closed for you will open at the right time
Leadership is not necessarily being in charge, it's being in service of the community
There's tremendous power in silence
Satisfaction doesn't always require massive achievements
Sometimes, the greatest gift we can give ourselves is the gift of forgiveness
There's no guarantee our younger selves would have taken our advice nor understood it without the journey that earned it
Like our lives, the legacies we wish to leave should not be compared to others'
Being on the receiving end of intelligent, thought-provoking questions can be a hugely reflective process
Regular reflection is a highly underrated development activity
