During my Charla de Vida with Mark, he quoted this: It took me 20 years to become an overnight success.
That line made me laugh at first, but at the same time, it stopped me in my tracks because it's full of wisdom. Success, growth, and transformation don’t happen by accident—they require intentional effort, resilience, and a mindset that refuses to settle.
In my recent conversation, we discussed how the way we view things shapes the way we do things. If we see obstacles as insurmountable, they will be. But if we see them as stepping stones, we push forward.
For example, if we think age is limiting us, then it will. But if we believe we can keep growing, we will. Science has already proven that our brains can continue to evolve, adapt, and grow if we keep fueling the fire of our lives.
Nevertheless, we have to be honest—personal growth requires discipline, and discipline isn’t always easy. But the rewards—becoming a better leader, a stronger person, and leaving a meaningful legacy—are worth it.

This is such a powerful reflection! Growth isn't accidental; it's built on years of effort, persistence, and a mindset that embraces challenges as stepping stones rather than roadblocks.

Beautiful reflection. Thanks for sharing...
Thank you! I'm glad it added value to your life!
Do you think development ceases after a certain age?
No, I just as curious and hungry for learning and growth as when I was a teenager. I hope I will remain like that until the end of my life!
