#Theweekthatwas @ 20/09/2026
A week of reflection and celebration had several lessons:
When you've put in the work and achieved your goal, it's important to acknowledge your own effort
Taking responsibility for something that's not your responsibility reflects your level of responsibility
One of the greatest threats to growth, relationships and success is being a knower
Empathy requires your presence, not your perfection
In order to get better, we need to stop being bitter
Practicality beats aesthetics every day of the week
When you strive for success just for yourself, you'll get success; when you strive to help others succeed, you'll get success and fulfilment
The greatest teacher, coach, mentor or supervisor in the world cannot help someone who is not open to being helped
If you're not open to help, you’re either too arrogant or too afraid of what that help might change for you
No feeling or state in our lives is permanent
Most of us live within arbitrary, often self-imposed, limits which keep us from fulfilling our potential
