Spanish writer, poet, and motivational thinker known for her uplifting reflections on life, love, and personal growth, Foka Gómez’s quote emphasises the power of self-belief as the foundation for achieving goals and creating change. It suggests that what may seem like “magic” in life—success, transformation, or overcoming obstacles—doesn’t come from luck or outside forces, but from the confidence we hold within ourselves. When you truly believe in your abilities, you activate resilience, creativity, and determination, which allow you to turn possibilities into realities. The message is simple yet profound: self-belief unlocks potential. Without it, doubts hold us back; with it, even the impossible starts to feel within reach. In essence, the “magic” is not external; it lives inside us, waiting to be tapped. This quote reminds us that the real magic lies in self-belief. When you trust in your own abilities, you unlock the strength and confidence to overcome challenges and achieve your dreams. Believing in yourself is the first step to making anything possible.

I once again spent the week working on my content calendar for the rest of 2025 and beyond. Some posts were easy, some took time, and some have still not come to me. But hopefully, what I write is interesting and makes you want to continue to read.

BB is busy with the final touches to his big trip next month, and he and his platoon are doing all they can to make their mission a success. GG is busy with school, assignments, projects, and tests. 

I read something recently that I thought I should share: There are many times when we feel that we can’t go lower than where we currently are. But we should never let the dark moments make us forget how powerful we truly are; we will always rise above. We should not let the temporary thoughts and emotions fool us into thinking we are weak, because when we’re vulnerable, it is easy to fall into the trap of assuming we can’t handle this. Remember, no matter how many times life has been hard, we have always found our way to the light. We’ve always shown up with resilience, strength, and grace and have it in us to overcome adversity and rediscover joy in our lives.

That’s all I have for you this week. Stay positive, keep smiling, and remember, it is always darkest before dawn!
