Introduction
If you told me that a boy who had delayed speech would have a podcast and at least a thousand people following his journey, I would have said AI is getting better at making stories.
But to get here took years of graft and acknowledgement that life is more fulfilling when I feed into my passion.
Find a way to channel it - otherwise it will bother me.
Although this post is not centred around passion, the drive to develop ourselves circles back to it.
There’s a purpose that urges you to act on it now, irrespective of whether the environment is optimal.
Generally, every TTB+ post extracted the ‘why’ behind the writing that everyone sees.
Throughout the Belonging series, I have shared deep thoughts and stories which formed a backbone for my posts in 2025.
For the final post of the series, I thought:
How do I bring this to a close?
It all came back to one question:
Why develop yourself when everything around you tells you to follow suit?
By homing in on the development of my mindset, we provide rationale for the mindset that has led to over 60 posts and counting (and a podcast).
