In Nairobi it gets frustrating when you’re ticking all the boxes, doing everything you think you’re supposed to do, and still it feels like nothing’s moving. You watch the effort stack up but the progress doesn’t show, and you’re left wondering what’s next, or if there even is a next.
That’s usually when a reset creeps in. Not as some big defeat, but just… a pause. A chance to step back, catch your breath, let your mind clear enough to see things differently. Honestly, it’s less about quitting and more about giving yourself permission to choose again.
And if you look at the ones who seem like they’ve got it figured out now, a lot of them had to restart too. They pulled back for a season so they could move forward stronger.
From stuck to rising—it almost always comes down to one choice, the moment you decide to be honest with yourself and take that first fresh step.
