I am grateful I got to see my Mum again after a while

Progress doesn’t announce itself. It builds quietly through repetition. One rep teaches, many reps shape instinct, and time turns effort into identity. This is the power of compounding. Small efforts done daily stack into something unshakeable. This is where parents matter most. Children borrow consistency from adults, learning that patience and routine create mastery. Today, after our routine clean up at the gym, we drill before the new week begins. The work continues. No rush. Just reps, consistency, and trust in the compounding process.

I do not even know how to name this post. This week has included a lot of hard conversations with my soccer club boss. I learn a lot about myself, standing up for myself, doing what is best for my coaching business and not let anyone take the wheel out of my own hands. He is really good with talking to people and I am glad I did not cave and agreed to his terms. I took the time to sit back and appreciate the man I have become!

Today, I lead with clarity and discernment. I understand that hiring is more than selecting a strong résumé—it is recognizing the traits my environment requires. I value fit, character, and alignment as much as experience.I choose people who can thrive within the culture and demands of the role.I commit to setting others up to win from day one through clear expectations, support, and trust.My decisions build strong teams, sustainable success, and lasting impact.

Affirmations are very easy to write. They give you a pleasant feeling of change in your life. It's as if you've done something useful and valuable. But in reality, affirmations are intentions. And very often they remain empty declarations, like New Year's resolutions. Without consistent effort, affirmations remain just good intentions. For me, the affirmation “I choose to make a positive impact” was a very instructive story. It sounds very noble and lofty. But when I tried to write it down in more detail, it turned out that I didn't even know what positive impact I could have on the lives of others. And that, in fact, I don't even know how to do it. This realization was uncomfortable. It showed me the gap between nice words and real actions.True intention needs specificity, not just emotion. If I cannot explain what I mean in simple terms, then I cannot act on it. Real impact starts with small, concrete steps, not abstract ideas. Something like listening carefully, helping in a practical way, or doing my work with responsibility. I must turn an affirmation into specific behavior so that it's not merely a slogan, but becomes real. That was my lesson learned with affirmations. I will continue to choose one affirmation for the week and reflect on it in depth every day.
