What is the time again…? Yes, it is time for some Wednesday juice! 🙂

Before we dive in, STOP!

Check out this week’s sponsor imdeitaely below 👇👇👇.

They are making some cool AI assistant thing. Definitely worth CLICKING on it! 🫶 - My fiance wants to get married and I can't afford it (yet!), so every visit counts!

I know you will do the right thing 🫠.

Busy isn’t the goal

Wing turns busy days into real progress. A full-time virtual assistant runs calendars, inboxes, and follow-ups, removing the drag that burns leaders out.

The result: more focus, more output, and the headspace to lead.

Make space to lead

Quote 1:

“The good life is the one of constant struggle as we seek to overcome.”

- Friedrich Nitzsche (philosopher of will, power, becoming)

I know I chose to start off light this week…

Try to read that quote again and let it sit with you for a minute. Do you see the point? Do you understand that if there is no struggle to overcome, there is no point in living to begin with? It is in human nature to seek problems and difficulties in order to resolve them. After all, if we didn’t do that, we wouldn’t be as amazing as a species.

So go find a struggle that’s worth dealing with - and fight to overcome it. 

Quote 2:

"You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it."

- Paulo Coelho (spiritual novelist inspiring self-discovery)

I know the quote might sound a bit over the top, but think about how often we make a mistake, choose the wrong path in life, or simply do the wrong thing… and yet, even though we realize we need to make a change, we stay stuck in the same place.

Self-pity. Self-sabotage. Self-destruction.

These are things everyone falls into from time to time. But the major difference between those who prosper and those who don’t is how long they stay trapped in that cave of despair.

Stop. Get out of that cave. Make a move.

Quote 3:

“If you not choose your hard, your hard will choose you.”

- Unknown

And obviously, I saved the best for last!

Think of it this way: what happens if you don’t take responsibility for your job? You end up living a hard life financially. What happens if you don’t choose to be physically active? You end up dealing with pain and limitation, unable to use your body as you could. And what happens if you don’t eat good-quality food? You end up tired, unhealthy, and struggling with all sorts of preventable issues.

The conclusion is simple: life is hard. We’re not here to debate that. What we can debate, however, is which kind of hard we choose for ourselves.
