I recently watched Quantum Leap—a time traveler jumps into other people’s lives with the knowledge to change their future. There’s even a reboot on Peacock.

Watching, I wondered—why do we love time travel stories?

It’s about control.
We wish we could change small moments.
We dream about fixing regrets.

Ever heard someone say, "If I knew then what I know now, things would be different."

No shit, Sherlock.

But here’s the truth: Wishing for the past to change means we’re stuck.
Looking back. Avoiding the now.

I’ve been there. We all have. And it sucks.
We obsess over what ifs and I wish I would have… thinking it would make things easier.

But I wouldn’t change the hard times.
They were often the worst—and the best—things that happened.

I learned from them.
I saw my own mental toughness myths—and their impact.

That’s why I share my videos every week.
Because what I know now might help you be ready when adversity hits.

Let’s change the conversation to mental fitness.
We can help with a keynote, training, small group coaching, or one-on-one coaching.
