Most of us have a year like that. A stretch of time that seems to take up more space than all the others. A year we still think about, or use to explain who we were before it happened and after.

→ Before I knew.
→ Before I lost that job.
→ Before I made that decision.

→ After I found out.
→ After I walked away.
→ After I finally said yes.

In the moment, we are just trying to get through the day. And yet, the very fact that we can look back and name that year means we are no longer standing inside the moment. We can see it from the outside — what it changed, what it took, and who we became as a result.

That is true resilience: reaching the point where you can look back and understand how that year became part of your story, and how you found your way through it, even when you could not yet see where it was leading.

With love and gratitude,

Karl-Anthony Towns has spent his life chasing championships, but his greatest lessons came far from the basketball court. In this heartfelt conversation with Jay Shetty, he reflects on grief, faith, family, and the moments that shaped the man behind the jersey. From honoring his late mother's legacy to embracing God's timing, discovering purpose beyond success, and building a love rooted in friendship, this episode is a moving reminder that who you become matters far more than what you achieve.

Sometimes the greatest victories aren't the ones the world celebrates, they're the quiet moments when you choose to keep moving forward with hope.

Some of the most important strengths we can develop are resilience and the ability to use challenging experiences as a source of growth. We may not choose what happens to us, but over time, we can choose what wins we carry forward.

Thank you so much for reading!
See you back here tomorrow 🙏🏽
