#Theweekthatwas @ 03/05/2026
A week of prioritising and accepting reality had much to teach:
Belief is the antidote to hopelessness and complacency
If we think we don't need changing, then we need changing
You can't be in flow if you're not even moving
When all you're focused on is serving yourself, you end up serving the devil himself
Any benefit gained through extremity is usually outweighed by its cost
People hardly take a long hard honest look at themselves unless and until they feel stuck, hit a wall or face a crisis
Political freedom without personal freedom is an incomplete sentence, an open loop
If we do not free our minds of the shackles of our past, we will forever be enslaved
Sometimes our circumstances impact our identity until we recognise that they're independent of each other
Potential without belief is like a match without the striking pad
Growth can only occur when we face our demons without minimising or excusing our behaviour
Ease and hardship are inseparable; like two sides of the same coin
Acceptance of what has been does not mean relinquishing agency over what is yet to come
