My depth is scary to most people and enlightening to the one’s who are doing the inner work. // currently fundraising for causes that I care for, link in bio
Unpopular opinion:
Boycott hustle culture where you brainwash yourselves into pretending you like each other and you want to see each grow but behind the scenes you're secretly trying to compete always wanting to end up being the one on top.
Inauthenticity disguised as growth and support. True support does not need to be marketed and made a focal point for any ventures.
Don’t get me wrong, there are others who are truly genuine but the ones who aren’t, find another hobby.
I just post man I don’t care about none of that key performance indicator bs that’s literally all I ever cared about when I was a slave to the system now all I care about is expressing my truth
Day 12/30
I got reminded today of a fundamental concept in how I trained my mind to operates; first principles.
First km was awesome, second km, I was starting to feel weird, 2.5kms in, I realised yep. It’s cause I drank alcohol yesterday and I don’t believe I’ve drank enough water + electrolytes today.
Old me would’ve spiralled into shame and I remember exactly what I’d be saying to myself “yeah this isn’t working I mean I’ve lost enough weight, I feel good even though I’m not running, or training. I should just start giving up. I’ll never be better than that shirtless guy with a six pack who’s been running laps around me all afternoon”
New is now more, “cunt its cos you’re not locked the fuck in but also you’re forgiven and bro comparison will get you nowhere have you not seen your arms, you’re getting there you great hunk of spunk. You had a great time yesterday, didn’t you? Be proud you even showed up today. That’s enough.” <- internal fkn validation
Would you rather shame yourself for doing what you already did, or would you relentlessly forgive yourself and pinpoint the act and maybe do a virgin pina colada next time instead? ✌🏼😎
Relentlessly forgiving people especially of themselves is foundational to becoming extraordinary. What do you forgive about yourself today?

Realised just right now I’m being too hard on myself I actually showed up most of the week today and even did 2 5k’s from not doing a lot of exercise last month
Instead of feeling defeated, I reclaim my energy and embody being a winner 💪🏼
I just be posting out of pocket things people find hard to comprehend.
It’s comparable to people not understanding people who stand there staring at an artwork
Damn did I just make myself an example of that feeling an observer feels when they see an interaction between art and and a connoisseur
Day 9/30
Did 6km today and was sweating before I even started cos Darwin humidity and heat. Haha I haven’t sweat like this in so long even when I was going all out back in QLD. I love it.
We have 21 days left in the challenge guys. I haven’t updated the fundraising pages yet with my progress but I should be a third of the way through with the challenges.
We should be getting a bike soon to be able to finish up the GCC challenge. Legs are getting stronger, runs are getting faster, mental health getting better, diet & sleep? Ehh getting there hahaha.
Day 8/30 went for a walk today.
I didn’t realise this loop was shorter but oh well. Taking my sweet time in recovering. + I don’t access to a bike at the moment.
If anyone has a spare bike in Darwin. Lmk so I can add K’s to the 500km challenge for kids with cancer!!
So much resistance within my head and body in “working out” and “training.” But I’m pushing through even if it’s just a walk like today.
I got this, we got this! Help a cause today guys! Link in bio or pinned in my profile!
Day 6/30
It felt like day 3 when I just didn’t want to do anything but I remembered the question I always asked myself,
“Who felt like shit after a good workout?”
That instantly made me put my running shoes on and get out the door.
No life-changing wisdom today but a realisation that if your focus is towards improving and getting better every day, it’s inevitable that your energy will trigger that same focus within others. Empower yourself and that shift will empower others too!
Donate and join the cause guys! Let’s change lives $1, 1km, 1 step and 1 good intention at a time!
Day 3/30 and my legs are cooked from that bike ride yesterday + the sudden jump to 217minutes time working out this week from 27 minutes last week really shocked my system moreso my legs but these are legs of steel and got muscle memory. Oh they better. 😅
In all honesty, I did not feel like doing anything today and this walk was so slow it would’ve been painful to a ‘conditioned’ me. Consistency is key I know.
My thoughts were mainly:
✅ I don’t wanna move
✅ I don’t wanna walk
✅ I don’t wanna do anything
I learned in the past to challenge these thoughts and asked, should I still show up? 🏆🏆🏆 and 100% I did cos God raised no quitter(unless it’s a job and it’s a toxic environment 🤣) (given I showed up at dusk but still!!)
It doesn’t matter how slow you go and sometimes mainly because of your dog who wants to pee on every tree you pass by + myself being slow today as long you don’t stop till you get to your goal.
When you show up for yourself, you cast vote towards a version of yourself who’s a winner. I wasn’t even thinking of the fundraising today, I just wanted to show up and I did. 💪🏼
@aden_gomes23 Its just strava bro and I have the Zones app. Tells me my total time trained by week then strava premium let’s me set goals for each type of workout and I add the widget to my home screen
Day 3/30 Man I really did not wanna do shit today cos I’ve stopped negotiating with my decisions after the second “fuck that” yet here I am on the slowest walk. Tired as. I still showed up 💪🏼
