[🧚‍♀️Evelyn🧚‍♀️ @Eva_Sommie]

I sit quietly and realize that God has been taking care of me this whole time. Maybe not in luxurious ways. Maybe not an easy life. But through protection,provision, good health, surviving hard days and always having just enough to keep going.

Take more pictures
Always say I love you
Let things go
Learn the lesson. Don't repeat it.
Laugh often.
Be known for kindness
Ask them out.
Hold them close.
Embrace the small moments.
Pray
Love again.
Life is too short.

You’re standing on a planet with molten lava at its core. Trees are turning sunlight into air you can breathe. Your heart is beating without you asking it to. There’s a moon in the sky and bugs that glow. This whole thing is absurdly beautiful. Don’t forget to notice it.

God is saying to you today:

Stop overthinking. Stop comparing. Stop doubting. Stop trying to control everything.
I see you. I hear you. I'm working on your behalf right now,
even though you can't see it.
That thing you're worried about? Handled.
That person you're trying to figure out? Not your problem I'm dealing with them.
That timeline you created? Throw it away. Mine is better.
That door that won't open? Wrong door.

I need you to trust Me. Actually trust Me not just say you trust Me while still trying to do My job.
Let go. Surrender. Rest.
I'm God. I've got this.

I have noticed that the people who changed my life did not try to change my life. they were simply in the room being themselves with such completeness that the completeness altered me. through proximity alone. the way a fire alters the room simply by being lit inside it.

Alysa Liu just won Olympic gold.

She retired at 16. Was traumatized by the sport. Wouldn't go near an ice rink.

And just delivered a career-best on the biggest stage on earth. It's the most compelling comeback story in sports right now.

At 13, Liu was the youngest US national champion ever. At 16, she finished 6th at the Olympics.

She was a prodigy being told what to eat, what to wear, what music to skate to, and when to train. She lived in a dorm alone at the Olympic Training Center.

And she was miserable.

"The rink was my home for far too long... And I didn't have a choice,"

So she quit.

She'd lost something essential: the feeling that any of it was hers. She had no autonomy.

So she went the other direction. She went to Nepal. Trekked to Everest Base Camp. Got her driver's license. Dyed her hair. Attended college. She lived life.

As Liu put it: “Quitting was definitely, and still to this day, one of my best decisions ever.”

She built an identity that wasn't tied solely to the ice. She figured out who she was as a human being.

Then in early 2024, she went skiing and felt something she hadn't felt in two years: an adrenaline rush.

If skiing feels like this, what would skating feel like? She went to a public session. Landed a double axel and triple salchow on the spot.

Two weeks later, she was back, but this time on her own terms.

She came back because she wanted to.

"I choose to be here. I loved that I was able to come back and choose my own destiny."

That shift from external obligation to internal choice is the point.

A mountain of research tells us autonomy is one of the most powerful driver of sustained motivation.

Self-Determination Theory is one of the most established theories in psychology.

When people feel ownership over their pursuits, performance goes up, burnout goes down, and creativity skyrockets.

Her coach, Phillip DiGuglielmo, nailed it: "For many years she was dropped off at the rink. She was told what to do. Now she comes in, and it is all collaborative."

She picks her own music. Designs her own costumes. Controls her training load.

"No one's gonna starve me or tell me what I can and can't eat."

We often get performance wrong.

We think the path to greatness is more control, more structure, more sacrifice. We push young phenoms to "grind", to be disciplined...

Not realizing we're often extinguishing the flame that makes them great. It's what psychologist Ellen Winner found when studying prodigies.

They have the "rage to master," but over controlling environments suck the passion and joy out of them, snugging out that rage. Those who make it to adult staff have support, but their drive is more intrinsic than extrinsic.

Liu's career-best came AFTER she walked away, lived her life, and came back with agency.

Tonight she skated to Donna Summer's MacArthur Park with platinum blonde streaks, a lip piercing, and the biggest smile in the building. Career-best 226.79.

First American woman to win Olympic gold in figure skating in 24 years.

It was pure joy.

Her message to the camera: "That's what I'm f---ing talking about."

Everyone wants to know the secret to elite performance. It's not complicated.

Give people ownership.

Let them bring themselves to the performance, instead of squashing the joy and authenticity out of them.

Alysa Liu retired at 16 because skating wasn't hers anymore.

She won Olympic gold at 20 because it finally was.

Be yourself. Go all the way.

What you do in private, shows in public. Reading shows in a conversation. Your diet shows in energy. Your discipline shows in confidence. Your focus shows in your results. You are what you cultivate when no one is watching. Prioritize your time & focus on discipline/consistency.

[Christin @hexprax]

I care about strangers because the people I love are strangers in the world and I would hope other people would care for them in moments of their life that occur outside of my presence. Not that complicated.
