Dear Fortitude family,

Welcome back to my midweek motivation! Each day and week brings its own set of experiences and inspirations, compelling me to share my thoughts with all of you.

I'm excited to share my top picks of the week from social media, and I encourage everyone to send in the posts that inspire you. There's a wealth of amazing content out there that deserves recognition! As our community expands, I'll make sure to highlight the submissions that resonate with all of us. Let's keep sharing and growing together!

The Playbook

Every mindset has an expiration date.

Chip on your shoulder works until it doesn't. Prove-them-wrong energy fuels you until it drains you. Perfectionism drives excellence until it paralyzes you.

The shift is different for everyone. For some, the chip stays useful for decades. For others, it becomes toxic after the first win.

The question isn't when to change your mindset. It's: Is this still serving me?

Elite performers constantly audit their thinking. They don't assume that what worked last year still works now.

They ask:

Does this mindset move me forward or keep me stuck?

Am I running toward something or just running from something?

Is this fuel or is this weight?

The mindset that got you here might not get you there. Or it might. Only you know.

But you have to keep asking.

Because the most dangerous thing isn't the wrong mindset. It's keeping a mindset on autopilot and never questioning whether it still fits.

Try this:

Set a 5-minute timer. Write down the primary mindset driving you right now. Then answer: "Is this still serving me, or am I operating on outdated fuel?" If you hesitate, you already know the answer.

This Week
