Hey love
We’ve been taught to chase numbers in the bank
But not minutes in the morning
We’re told to build wealth
But never shown how to build space
But here’s the truth I’ve come to know
deep in my bones
and deep in my business:
True wealth isn’t what you own
It’s the time you control
That’s why Optimising For Happiness
isn’t just a mindset
It’s a movement
Because what’s the point in scaling
if you’re sprinting through your life?
What’s the point in earning more
if you’re still chained to a calendar
that doesn’t honour your body?
When I think about what I’m most proud of this year
It’s not the launches
the flights
the followers
the photos
It’s the mornings I took slow
The mid-week massages
The long phone calls with people who get me
It’s the fact that I can move things
shift things
change my mind
because I own my time
That’s wealth
Not the kind that fits in a spreadsheet
The kind that makes your nervous system exhale
So here’s your invitation
Take a look at your calendar
Not through the lens of productivity
But through the lens of presence
Does it reflect what actually matters to you?
Or does it reflect what you think you're supposed to value?
Your calendar is your bank account
Your energy is your investment
And every yes is a contract with your future self
Choose wisely
Because this is your life
Not a rehearsal
Not a pitch deck
Not a scene you edit later
The real thing
Right now
And it's yours to design
With love
