this quote hit me

If you’ve been following this Newsletter for a while… You’ll know that I love a good quote. But this one hit me pretty hard: “This is an extra special type of tragedy, a tragedy that unfolds while everyone cheers. Strangling your passions in exchange for an elite life is like being on the Titanic after the iceberg, water up to your chin, with everybody telling you that you’re so lucky to be on the greatest steamship of all time. And the Titanic is indeed so huge and wonderful that you can’t help but agree, but you’re also feeling a bit cold and wet at the moment, and you’re not sure why.” - Adam Mastroianni When you look back at the end of your life, what will you be more proud of? -The Elite Companies OR -The Risks you took Life isn’t about fitting into someone else’s mould. It’s about creating your own path, being true to yourself and living authentically. So take a moment today to reflect: Are you living your own life or are you living someone else’s idea of success? Because time is ticking and the longer you wait to choose yourself, the harder it will get. No one else is coming to give you permission. Much love, PS: What I’m reading: The Boys on the Boat by Daniel James Brown |

It doesn’t care about your image.It doesn’t care about who you think you need to be. It cares about survival. For Sensitive High Achievers, this is the hardest...
I grew up believing that most of what I felt was down to other people. My Dad “made me feel insecure”. My boss “made me anxious”. That pushy salesperson “made me uncomfortable”. It’s such a normal way of talking that I never even questioned it. But here’s an uncomfortable truth: no one can make you feel anything. Not your boss. Not your partner. Not your parents. Every single feeling you experience is filtered through your own perspective. Through the meaning you assign to what happened....
You're stuck because you’re resisting what you feel.Most of us were never taught how to feel.We were taught how to perform.We learned to push emotions away.To hold it together.To stay strong.When sadness comes up, we call it weakness.When anger surfaces, we label it dangerous.When fear shows up, we try to control everything around us.But that constant suppression?It creates tension, overwhelm and the sense of being stuck in your own head.Eventually it turns into anxiety, numbness,...
