The story

Just learned something that blew my mind—it’s not about what happens to you, it’s about what you do with it. I was reading Chapter 7 of “The Journey” and it hit me: we’re all walking around with this incredible power we barely use. Not talking superpowers here, but something way more practical—the ability to choose how we respond to literally everything.

Think about it. That job rejection? That awkward presentation? Instead of letting them be stories about failure, they become your fuel. It’s like having a secret superpower that turns setbacks into comebacks.

But here’s the real talk—this isn’t some feel-good fluff. It’s about showing up for yourself every single day, even when Netflix is calling your name. It’s about building that muscle of persistence, one small choice at a time. The book calls it ‘grit,’ but I call it being your own hero.

What really got me was this idea of self-education. Once you figure out how to teach yourself and actually stick to new habits, the game completely changes. You’re not waiting for someone to show you the way anymore—you’re making your own path.

Side note: if you’re in your twenties like me and sometimes feel lost, Chapter 7 of “The Journey” is like having that straight-talking mentor you always wanted. The one who tells you to stop waiting for permission to live your best life and just start building it.
