#Theweekthatwas @ 16/08/2026
A week of cut through and appreciation had several lessons:
Greatness is seldom built in the spotlight - it's built in the quiet moments, often when everyone else is asleep
There is only one truth and it's neither mine nor yours
The pain of hearing the truth can be severe but it is necessary
Being grateful for what you have and striving for more are not mutually exclusive concepts
Hatred of evil or injustice is acceptable; hatred of other humans is not
When used as a means to hide things, incomplete truths are no different to complete lies
The prescription for ignorance is knowledge; the prescription for ignoring is action
Boredom is a choice, not a state of being
If you're in comparison mode you're only happy when you see people less than you
When you're in growth mode you're only happy when you see people more than you
Worldviews are like lenses or filters through which we see or experience the world
Nothing prepares you for parenthood quite like parenting
