This morning, as I do every morning, I sat down at my piano to play. "Touch the piano every day" is one of my big goals for 2026. But today, something was off... All my usual songs and exercises felt excruciatingly boring. Every note was like an uphill battle against my psyche. Cue the mental chatter: "Do I even want to do this anymore?" "Maybe I don't want to learn piano as badly as I thought." For those of you familiar with these kinds of thoughts, you know they can be a crossroads. A choice now lies ahead of you... 1️⃣ Do you let the thoughts win, and give up on the original goal? Or 2️⃣ do you fight them, push through, and pray for victory despite the odds? Binary decision. Push through or give up. Those feel like the only two doors. But today, a third choice presented itself: curiosity. Rather than pushing through and "doing it anyway" (as many internet gurus would advise you) or letting the mental thoughts win and give up, I decided to get curious about why today felt so boring. I put on a 5-minute timer and meditated, letting myself sit with the boredom & frustration. When the timer went off, I went back to the piano and, rather than following my usual structured routine of scales and song practice, I just closed my eyes and let my fingers find the notes. At first, it sounded terrible. Random notes that weren't good together. But eventually, I hit some notes that sounded really interesting together. I made a simple rhythm. I played my scales, but in random order and with more energy. By the end, I was jamming and having a blast. Before I knew it, 20 minutes had gone by! I completed my play and left feeling excited to come back to it. It inspired me to write about it. As I started writing, I realized this is a great analogy for business, too. How often, as entrepreneurs, do we hit walls? Boredom, frustration, or a million other things can stop us in our tracks. Then the mental noise comes in. "I'm not cut out to be an entrepreneur." "Why am I doing this to myself?" "I should just go back and find another job."

Yesterday you set your one thing for the week. Today's question is simple: Did you take a step toward it yet? Even a tiny one counts. Sent a DM. Opened the doc. Made the call. If yes — drop what you did below. If not — what's in the way? Sometimes just naming the block is enough to break it. No judgement here! Just momentum. Onwards and upwards! 🚀
