FMQ 522 Who Do You Want To Be?

FMQ 521 Come And Play For A Change

In this slightly longer Five-Minute Quickie, I’m inviting you to do something different… to come and play. Play with ideas, play with possibilities, and play with the truth about those heavy beliefs we sometimes carry like “I’ve got no one.”

In this FMQ, we explore:

How “I’ve got no one” is a belief, not the truth

Why it often feels like our issues only happen to us

Why working with compassion (not empathy) creates real change

How every issue is just a behaviour — and behaviours can change

How these seeds we explore now lead directly into the deeper work in the following longer episode
