I saw the musician Passenger at the Sydney Opera House recently and his song "Things that stop you dreaming." The lyrics resonated with me, particularly the chorus "if you can’t get what you love , you learn to love the things you’ve got , If you can’t be what you want , You learn to be the things you’re not , If you can’t get what you need , You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming" I interpreted this as so many of us have big dreams at a young age but slowly as we age those dreams begin to get too "hard" and we stick with comfort instead. So many of us let fear, doubt, and past experiences stop us from pursuing our true potential. The barriers to our dreams are often self-imposed, built from hesitation and the belief that the 'right time' will come. But what if we stopped waiting and took the first step today? Breaking through these invisible walls isn’t about having everything figured out, it’s about embracing the possibility of progress. True growth comes from moving forward, even when it’s uncomfortable or uncertain. What’s one step you can take today to move closer to your goals? The only thing standing in your way might just be you. #mindset #goals #leadership #development

Nice message Nick. Love passenger, insanely good performing but as you point out powerful lyrics. In the words of my favourite peloton instructor, which she has tattooed on her arm “happily ever now …” live in the moment
