Nobody Is Coming To Save You.
Jan 06, 2026
As we begin a new year, I want to offer a simple, grounding reminder:
Nobody is coming to save you.
I know—that can sound harsh. Especially if life has been unfair, painful, or deeply disappointing.
In an ideal world, the people who hurt us would make things right. In the real world, that often doesn’t happen. And waiting for it can keep us stuck.
Here’s the part that matters most:
What others do or don’t do is beyond your control.
Your healing is not.
Two thousand years ago, the Stoic philosophers taught that it’s not events themselves that cause our suffering, but the meaning we attach to them. In other words, peace doesn’t come from controlling life—it comes from learning where your power actually is.
This doesn’t mean pretending things didn’t hurt.
It means choosing not to live as a victim of what has already happened.
You still get to choose how you move forward.
You still get to choose how you think, respond, and live.
You have a superpower — the power of choice.
That choice—made one day at a time—is where your freedom begins.
I’m walking that road too. And I’m glad to walk it with you.
