It’s no one else’s job to make your dreams a reality. It’s all on YOU. Tough to hear? Maybe. But once you realize this, you’ll understand that you have the power to shape your future.
Resilience isn’t built-in comfort. It’s forged in moments of pressure, pain, and struggle. Think of a diamond—formed under intense pressure, it shines brighter for it. Just like diamonds, you become stronger through life’s challenges.
just three years ago, I was struggling to get out of bed, contemplating how to leave this world. I was in the deepest pain, and resilience seemed like a foreign concept. Fast forward to today, I’ve built two successful businesses, become an elite athlete, and speak to inspire others. 🔥🚀🏃♀️ I know the struggle, the heartbreak, and I also know that sometimes we have to completely hit rock bottom to see the change we need.
This week has tested me in ways I didn’t expect. The vision for my Run Around Australia has been challenged from every angle. It felt like the world was trying to break me. 📐
But here’s the thing: pressure doesn’t destroy you—it shapes you. It makes you more grounded in your purpose. It ignites your “why” and pushes you to keep moving forward. This week, I remembered the power of my breath, my mantra, and how far I’ve come. That’s resilience.
So, if this week has tested you, here are 5 key shifts that have made the biggest impact on my journey:
#1 Speak Up & Seek Support 💙
I couldn’t save myself, but I knew if I reached out, we could save each other. Letting someone in opened the door to a better life.
#2 Change Your Circles
Surround yourself with people who challenge you, support you, and see your potential. This shift continues to open doors and possibilities in my life.
#3 Take Back Your Pen 🖊️
I started creating a life that younger me would be proud of. My younger self is my screensaver—a reminder of how far I’ve come and the strength I’ve built.
#4 Go Day by Day ☀️
“JUST ONE MORE.” This mantra helped me run 1,600 kilometers and build two businesses. Each day is a fresh start, a new chance to move forward.
#5 Lead with Compassion 🤍
For yourself. For the version of you that was just surviving. Resilience is about growth, even in the toughest moments.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, if life is testing you right now—remember, the pressure you’re facing is molding you into someone stronger. Keep going.
Wipe those tears, blast some Dom Dolla, and take it one step at a time. This is how you build your ultimate resilience.
The light is there—it gets BRIGHT, like a diamond 💎
