7.30pm.

I place my bum on the sofa.

I grab the remote, load up whatever show we are binging at that time.

As I scroll for that show, my brain starts to decompress.

You know me, my brain is busy all the time.

It’s 100mph all the time but at this time it’s calming down for the day, I’ve got Isla bathed and she’s tucked up in bed.

It’s at this time that I reflect.

I think about what I have done that day & why I have done it.

For me it’s for that person sat next to me on the sofa. She’s the driving force behind what I do.

Listen, I’ve always been crazy driven. You point me in the direction you want me to go and let me go, I’ll go and nothing will stop me.

BUT

It wasn’t till this little lady who sat on the sofa next to me scrolling through the gram that I knew what I wanted.

She helped me gain a purpose.

I do what I do for her, it’s funny that when we first started dating I was doing things to try and impress her.

That hasn’t changed now.

I still do those things, they just look different now.

For me all I care about is that when I sit on that sofa after a day of whatever life has thrown at me is that I have impressed the lady sat there.

The crazy thing is, we always think it takes something big to impress somebody…

9/10 times it's the small things done right that have the biggest impact.

At this point you are reading this thinking where’s the pitch.

There isn’t one.

It’s just me reminding you that there’s always one person you are trying to impress.

BUT you have to be able to impress yourself first.
