The Real Win Is Not Feeling Good. The Real Win Is Being Okay When You Do Not Feel Good. Recently I have been noticing something that most people try to hide. You can be aligned You can be committed. You can be consistent. You can be doing everything you know to do. And you can still find yourself in a season where the outer results do not match the inner effort. You start strong. Momentum feels real. You think the breakthrough is right in front of you. Then everything goes quiet. That is when the old identity shows up with its familiar lines. “Prove yourself.” "Fix this.” “Make something happen.” “You should be further along.” For a long time, I tried to outrun that voice. I tried to outwork it. I tried to outperform it. I tried to rise above it with willpower and mindset tricks. Here is the truth that finally landed for me. The real win is not the moment when you feel good. The real win is the moment you allow yourself to be okay even when you do not feel good. It is sitting with the discomfort instead of running from it. It is letting emotions surface without judging yourself for having them. It is noticing the old identity trying to stay alive and choosing not to feed it. It is trusting your path even when there is no external evidence. It is allowing the contrast instead of pretending it is not there. This is where real transformation happens. Not in the highs. Not in the breakthroughs. Not in the peak moments. It happens in the quiet moments when nothing seems to be moving, and you choose to stay with yourself anyway. If you are in a season like that right now, a season where the old identity is dissolving and the new one is forming through stillness and sensation... You are not off track. You are in transition. And transitions always feel like this. Drop a fire emoji if you are choosing to be your True Self and to radically embrace Now with the version of you that is rising.

For me, today isn’t really about turkey, pies, or pretending the stuffing is actually worth eating (it's not… but we politely accept it anyway). Today (and every day, actually) is all about presence. It’s about remembering that in a world full of noise, algorithms, family dynamics, and our own inner programming…we can still choose to be here now. Radically embracing Now. That’s the gift of attention to gratitude. Not the mashed potatoes. Not the carbs. Not even the free serotonin hit from football. The gift is awareness. The gift is that we get to pause and remember: - We are not our thoughts. - We are not our stress. - We are not our past. - We are the Presence observing it all. And from that Presence comes gratitude, not the forced kind, but the grounded “I’m alive, I’m expanding, and I’m awakening now” kind. The gratitude that comes from Radically Embracing Now. That’s why I’m thankful for you. This community is growing in depth, alignment, and coherence. You’re showing up, leaning in, and building the inner architecture required for Healthy Success — mind, body, energy, and life. So wherever you are today… With family, with friends, or chilling solo with leftovers and Netflix… Take one breath. A real one. A whole one. Feel your chest rise. Feel your awareness turn on. Feel yourself come home to the Now. That’s Thanksgiving. I appreciate you more than you know. Let’s keep rising together. Thank you. I Love you. Happy Thanksgiving 🧡Tom

Segment Intention What is my intention for this next moment/segment? 4. Embodied Action What aligned action moves this forward? 5. Surrender I release the “how,” and I stay open. 6.
