This hit me hard

Arigato, dear investor,

Today, something clicked for me.
And it happened in the middle of the mountains in Whistler, Canada.

Let me give you a bit of context.
I purposely flew all the way from Toronto to Vancouver this summer because this region has some of the most breathtaking scenery in Canada — and it’s perfect for hiking. I love hiking.

So for months, I’ve been researching which trail to go for. I finally picked one. Today was the big day.
But as I stood at the start of the trail, something happened.

I kind of… chickened out. 😅

Why?
Because I was traveling solo. The trail was wild, mountainous, and would take about 4–5 hours to complete.
I was scared of the unknown ahead.

But then I asked myself:
“Would I regret it if I didn’t do this?”

And deep down, I already knew the answer — yes.
This entire trip was planned for this moment.

So even with the fear and uncertainty, I chose to go ahead.
And guess what?

It turned out to be the most beautiful hike of my life.
Truly. I’ve never seen something so mesmerising.

And as I stood there, soaking in the views, this powerful realisation hit me:

They show up.
They act in the face of uncertainty.
And by doing so, they build trust in themselves — confidence, capability, and momentum.

It’s a virtuous cycle:
✨ You commit → you act → you grow → you become stronger → you commit even more.

So if you’ve ever doubted yourself, or felt that you’re not confident or capable enough —
Know that it’s not because you’re not good enough.

It’s likely because you didn’t fully commit…
Or you let fear and excuses get in the way.

I get it. I almost did too today.

But once you choose to move through the resistance and take action anyway,
That’s when your life begins to transform.

💡 Confidence is built by showing up for yourself.
Over and over again.

I hope this little story from the mountains inspired you in some way today.
If it resonated with you — even just a tiny reminder — I’d love to hear from you. Hit reply and let me know.

And if you're curious, here’s a short video I made during my hike, enjoy! 😃👇️
