No matter how it feels today, it won’t last forever.
No matter how it is today, it won’t last forever.
No matter how you think today, it won’t last forever.
It is, of course, worrying. But also, liberating.
All in all, a good thing to keep in mind.

The darkest hour
Even in the darkest hour, there are things that keep you going.
Things that give you energy, that make you want to continue to try, that help you to not give up.
Even in the darkest hour, we need to be able to appreciate those things, name them, doble down on them.
That’s how we make the darkest hour a little less dark.
Breaking habits
Breaking a habit feels bad.
And it’s true whether you are just getting started or you have been at it for years already.
It just feeds that little voice in your head that tells you that you are a failure, that you will never make it, that it was all just an illusion, and that the truth is you don’t deserve it.
Of course, the reality is that building a habit is difficult, keeping it alive is constant work, and never missing a beat is impossible.
To keep that little voice quiet, you need an extra effort to see the 61.
Yesterday I forgot to post on the blog, for the first time in almost four years.
Today, though it’s difficult, I want to focus on the 61.
Let’s go.
Making sense
It doesn’t make any sense.
But seeking sense in what happens around us is a pointless exercise. It means you are trying to explain with reason something that goes beyond it. Feelings, moments, circumstances, relationships. Seeking sense is a rigid activity that aims at fitting the world into familiar boxes.
A better thing to try is seeking purpose. Purpose is the way you connect the dots. It is loose by nature, and it adapts to time and events. Seeking purpose is a flexible activity that aims at shaping your story into the world around you.
Superpowers
Three superpowers that are underestimated and that will get you through most things in life more easily. Plus, a tip on how to train them.
- Patience, that is the superpower to give things and people their time, without imposing your view or trying to bend them. You can train this with meditation.
- Listening, that is the ability to sit down in a conversation without thinking at what you will say or do next. You can train this by learning about coaching.
- Consistence, that is the ability to show up every day, even when no one is watching you or holding you accountable. You can train this with journaling.
