you won’t become free - you’ll be stripped of what pretended to be you.
That is not suffering. That is purification.
And in that stillness, you’ll discover:
Freedom was never gained. It was revealed when everything else was lost.
Follow for truths that burn illusions,
not decorate them.

Good morning 🌞

The world feels a little spooky,
and everyone’s chasing a new prince to follow.

But the real crown
is peace.

The mind’s job is to think freedom begins when we stop fighting thoughts and simply watch them pass like clouds in the sky.

Everyone’s chasing the trend
Trump, GOP, Johnson, JD, SNAP, Tattoo, Halloween…

But the truth is timeless.

In a world obsessed with what’s next,
the rare ones focus on what lasts.

Trump, Musk, Halloween, Johnson
new day, same noise.

Everyone’s looking for a story.
Few are building one.

Keep your peace louder than the trends.

Everyone’s shouting Trump, waiting for November, fearing a shutdown
chasing benefits, scrolling for a Snap, quoting Musk.

But silence has no headlines.
And that’s where the real power hides.

Everyone’s talking about Warriors vs Clippers
but the real battle is never on the court.

It’s discipline vs distraction.
Focus vs fame.
Purpose vs pressure.

Win that game,
and you’ll never lose another. 🏀

Everyone’s watching Warriors vs Clippers
but most people miss the real battle.

It’s never team vs team.
It’s you vs your old self.

Master the inner game,
and you’ll win every season. 🏀

Here’s what 2026 will quietly teach you 👇🏽

1. The race was never real • only peace lasts.
2. Real friends won’t compete with your calm.
3. Success won’t excite you as much as stillness will.
4. Healing won’t look like progress • it’ll look like disappearing
5. You’ll stop chasing, and start choosing

In 2026:

Most of us born in the late 90s will finally realise,
growth was never about becoming someone new,
it was about returning to who we’ve always been.

The goal was never more followers.

It was more freedom.

To speak without fear.
To build without begging.
To grow without noise.

That’s the real algorithm. 🕊️

The illusion says, “you should be further.”

But growth doesn’t follow a calendar.

It follows surrender.

1️⃣ Time is a mirror, not a race.
2️⃣ Pressure is just presence without peace.

The World Series isn’t the game.
It’s the illusion that the world needs a winner.
Everyone wants to celebrate victory,
but few understand
peace begins when you stop keeping score. ⚾️

7️⃣ “You have time.” You are time. Don’t waste yourself.

Your 20s aren’t about becoming.
They’re about unbecoming everything false.

You don’t grow by adding. You grow by seeing. 🌿

3️⃣ “You need to prove your worth.” You were already born with it.
4️⃣ “Love should complete you.” It should free you.
5️⃣ “Healing means being positive.” It means being honest.
6️⃣ “Clarity comes from answers.” It comes from silence.

7 illusions your 20s will destroy

In your 20s, everything looks like a race
but life isn’t counting.

Here’s what you’ll unlearn: ↓

1️⃣ “Success is speed.” No. It’s stability.
2️⃣ “Everyone’s ahead.” Nobody really knows where they’re going.

Grow 📖 @grow4.substack.com · 9d

4️⃣ What looks like “stuck” is often “seeded.”
5️⃣ Becoming is forgetting who they told you to be.

You’re not behind.
You’re blooming in silence.
The world will see it when it’s ready, not when you rush. 🌿

Got a little love from a supporter today, and it reminded me why I started creating in the first place.
It’s not about the numbers, it’s about connection, impact, and energy that flows both ways. Grateful. 💛
