Hey there,
When I told a friend I was moving from Switzerland to Thailand, he asked with an unwavering directness: “Is this a REaction? Are you running AWAY, or running TO something?”
I didn’t have a quick answer. I thought I did. I didn’t.
What I found when I sat with it was this: I’m fueled by momentum. The question for me was never about from or to. It was about TRAJECTORY. Is my trajectory aligned with the momentum I need, given whatever I’m facing or wish to experience? It’s not about A or B. It’s about recognizing when momentum is high and sustainable, or when it’s waning and could be reignited by the process of transition, as scary as that is.
That question is one most of us avoid when the answer is hard. But I think “running” is the key word. MOVEMENT FROM STAGNATION. And the direction matters less than whether you’re aligned with who you are and what you need today.
If you’re experiencing disruption right now, in your career, relationships, or physically, before getting lost in the from and to, ask yourself what MOMENTUM could look like for you. Even if it’s not tied to a specific outcome.
I’m going to be exploring this theme in these emails. I’m calling it RE. Rebound. Restart. Recovery. Relocation. The moments when life hands you a new beginning that wasn’t in your original script, and the way you respond shapes everything after.
Something else I’ve been thinking about.
I was in a gym in Lamai last week, last set of a heavy leg press. The kind of set where you’ve already talked yourself into stopping before the weight even moves. I was finished at rep five. Brain had already written the story about why five was enough.
Then my eyes landed on a green stripe on a box behind the machine. I didn’t choose it. They just found it. My chest opened, two big supercharged breaths, and I got two more reps.
On rep eight, a red resistance band hanging off a rack caught my glance. My granddad’s voice entered my head and we pushed together. Two more.
Last rep struggle, the yellow Garmin band on my wrist. Lightning bolt hit. Ten reps. Done.
Three colors. Three completely different surges of energy. All already in the room. I didn’t bring them. I didn’t open an app or put in earbuds. I just noticed what was there.
We’re all watching AI get more powerful by the week. Maybe you’re excited by it. Maybe you’re uneasy. Maybe both. I’m both.
And a green stripe on a box outperformed everything on my phone that day.
The more powerful the technology gets, the more valuable the tools that need nothing become. Not as a replacement. As a layer underneath — one that’s still running when everything else goes dark.
I think about this a lot. I think you might too.
Until next time,
Jeff
