Habit hardliner. Epicurean. Ruthless achiever. Compassionate pushover.

I identify with all of the above, my friend. And even though they can all be positive, I’m pretty good at letting those qualities shine in the wrong situations.

The habit hardliner over-disciplining themselves and those around them.

The epicurean making indulgent food decisions every day.

The ruthless achiever neglecting their family.

The compassionate guy being a pushover in business negotiations.

So more out of necessity than ambition, I started asking myself: Who’s in charge right now?

Are they the adequate identity to be in charge in whatever situation you’re in?

It’s insightful. Not always fun. But insightful.

And as you know by now, I like to share insights with you, my friend. Because who knows, maybe one day, one of these insights will be enlightening to you, too?

So I invite you to give it a try.

Right here, right now: who’s in charge?

Maybe you’ve let some of your qualities shine in the wrong situations too.

In the moment, I don’t feel like a yoga pose comes easy to me – until I look back to how it felt 6 months ago.

In the moment, I don’t really feel like particularly good writer – until I look back on how hard it was to write these daily insights a year ago.

You don’t need to see progress every single day to know that you’re getting better.

Because the things that truly matter often change so slowly that you don’t notice them… unless you take the time to reflect on them.

Changes too small to notice today become impossible to ignore when they stack up.

Be here for the triumphs.
Be here for the losses.

Be here for the dreams.
Be here for the doubts.

Be here for the courage.
Be here for the fear.

Be here for the victory.
Be here for the defeat.

Be here for the laughter.
Be here for the tears.

Whatever you do
Whatever you fear
Be here.
