Train your body.
This isn’t about aesthetics. A strong body supports a strong mind. Strength, cardio, mobility , all three matter. Not occasionally, Consistently.
I once dated a woman who knew my routines better than I realized. Most evenings, I’d text her as soon as I got home from work. It wasn’t a rule, it was just something I’d always done.
One Thursday, I left the office later than usual. Right before heading home, I texted her, “Finally getting out of here.” Then, somewhere on the drive home, my phone died.
I didn’t think much of it. I figured I’d charge it when I got home and text her later. Instead, I walked through the door, dropped my keys on the counter, and accidentally fell asleep on the couch.
Take any population on earth.
For several generations, remove their most physically capable members by force and sell them abroad.
Destroy their existing political institutions and replace them with administrative structures designed to extract rather than develop.
Draw their borders to maximize ethnic conflict and minimize political coherence.
Extract their mineral and agricultural wealth for a century at prices you set unilaterally.
When you leave, install governments that serve your economic interests rather than their populations.
Fund civil wars when those governments are threatened by leaders who want to redirect resource revenues toward domestic development.
Then, three generations later, administer a cognitive test.
Compare the scores to those of the populations who spent the same period accumulating capital, building universities, developing public health infrastructure, and compounding the advantages of political stability.
Put the results on a map.
Call the map a "nature documentary."
Tell yourself the scores show something biological.
Tell yourself the history had nothing to do with it.
Tell yourself you arrived at this conclusion by following the evidence.
You did not follow the evidence.
You followed the map to the place you had already decided to go.
And the evidence, the entire, documented, sourced, cross-disciplinary evidence, is the invoice you refused to open.
Nobody is coming to save you.
That may sound harsh, but for many people, it is one of the most important truths they will ever learn.
The world keeps moving whether you are winning or struggling. Bills will still arrive. Time will still pass. Opportunities will still come and go. The people you are waiting for to rescue you may be busy fighting battles of their own.
At some point in life, you realize that no phone call is coming to magically change everything. No government, family member, friend, partner, or stranger is guaranteed to appear at the perfect moment and carry your burdens for you.
The painful reality is that the person who will spend the most time with your problems is you.
You must be the one who gets up when disappointment knocks you down. You must be the one who keeps moving when fear tells you to stop. You must be the one who continues to believe when nobody else sees your vision.
People may support you. Some may encourage you. A few may even walk part of the journey with you. But nobody can live your life for you. Nobody can fight every battle for you. Nobody can build your future while you sit and wait.
The strongest people are not those who never needed help. They are the ones who accepted that help may not always come and decided to move forward anyway.
So stop waiting for the perfect rescue. Stop waiting for someone to understand your pain completely. Stop waiting for circumstances to become ideal.
Save yourself.
Learn the skill. Make the call. Start the business. Leave the toxic environment. Take the risk. Do the work. Heal from the hurt. Build the life you want with the hands you have today.
Because one day you will look back and realize that the hero you were waiting for never arrived.
And that is because the hero was YOU all along.

if you are struggling to find your gift in life as a young person, walk through this piece.
& pay solid attention;
i have a working theory and this is it: i don't think your gift is hidden from you, i believe you can't find it cos you've seen it every day of your life. it is called the curse of familiarity. listen to me. familiarity doesn't only breed contempt; it also causes blindness.
i'll tell you something fascinating about your brain. do you know that right now your nose is in your field of vision? you can see it. you've always been able to see it but your brain quietly edits it out cos it is familiar and i believe many people suffer from the same problem when it comes to their gift.
the things that make us remarkable often feel ordinary to us cos we've lived with them for so long.
we assume they can't be valuable cos they don't feel rare anymore. look, familiarity has a tendency to hide significance. we get so busy searching for our future that we overlook the evidence we've been carrying all along.
the first person to undervalue your gift is usually you. yes, you and while everybody else experiences your gift as a miracle, you're busy experiencing it as muscle memory.
i've been there and it has happened to me many times. people will call it exceptional and you'll call it normal. the things that come naturally to you may be the very things that have been supernaturally assigned to you & that which you cannot acknowledge, you cannot maximize. i will always tell the younger generation the truth.
in this short life, during your hard times and good times, pay close attention to patterns and to what has followed you through all those seasons. pay attention to what people consistently come to you for. what is that thing that has become invisible through familiarity?
there is a difference btwn when something is hidden from your sight and when something is hidden by your sight, buena suerte 👍
