The saddest form of success is realizing that the goals you achieved weren't yours at all. In the short run, pursuing other people's dreams earns approval. In the long run, it's a recipe for regret. A meaningful purpose doesn't maximize your status. It matches your values.

My first PhD publication on 24-h activity profiles and childhood obesity is out! 📚 Found intriguing differences between school days and weekends. 🔄 Let's optimise movement behaviours to tackle childhood obesity! 💪 Find out more here: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… #MovementBehaviour

Admitting that we have something to learn doesn’t just show humility. It improves relationships. When we acknowledge that we don't know everything, others feel more psychologically safe—and become more effective. Expressing our desire to get better can help others get better.
