We so often hear how we need to be resilient and that resilient people are the ones who succeed and come out on top. I say bullshit. To me, the word resilience implies struggle, fighting against the current situation or status quo. There’s a strong negative connotation to the word resilience. It conjures an image of a person as a punching bag, taking hits and just trying to not be knocked out.
We’ve all faced a challenge that seems impossible to solve. Whether it’s a personal issue or a professional hurdle, our first instinct is often to approach it from a familiar angle. But what if the solution isn’t where you’re looking?
What if you could turn your dreams from a hazy future into a clear, actionable plan? The powerful principle of “Begin with the end in mind” is an exercise that allows you to do just that. It’s about harnessing the power of your imagination to envision your ultimate destination, and then working backward to create a roadmap to get there.
We all have them: those small, nagging thoughts that tell us we aren’t good enough, that something isn’t possible, or that we don’t deserve success. These are limiting beliefs, and they are one of the most significant barriers to personal progress and achieving our aspirations.
Have you ever had the feeling that you’re on a path, but it’s not quite the right one? You’re moving forward, but the destination doesn’t match the future you envision. This is where the transformative power of making adjustments comes in.

Life often feels like a balancing act, with dozens of competing priorities demanding your attention. It can be hard to tell if you’re truly allocating your time and energy in a way that aligns with your values and brings you fulfillment. This is where a simple yet powerful tool, the “Pie of Life” exercise, comes in.
It’s your past self, writing to you from a beautiful day in Nerja, Spain, in August 2025. I’m sitting here, taking in the view, and my mind is full of thoughts about you. I don’t know exactly where you are or who you’re with, but I’m filled with a mix of curiosity and hope for the life you’re leading.
This letter isn’t about telling you what to do. Instead, think of it as a compass. I’m writing down the intentions and values that are important to me right now, in the hope that they still resonate with you. I want to give you a moment to pause, to reflect on the journey, and to remember the dreams that we held dear.
For too many, poverty isn’t just a circumstance; it’s a victim mentality. And that, my friends, is a self-fulfilling prophecy designed to keep you stuck in the same goddamn hole you’re fighting to escape. The “Anti-Poverty Mindset” isn’t some woo-woo bullshit or touchy-feely theory. It’s a fundamental, non-negotiable shift: from letting life happen to you, to grabbing life by the balls and making it happen for you. This isn’t about ignoring the mess; it’s about owning your response to it. Especially here in Spain, where the economic tides can shift fast, and sometimes, the comfort of community can lull you into a state of passive acceptance if you’re not careful.
