💭 The Test of Inner Peace

There was a story from this past week that I have to share.

I traded in my car and picked up a new one.. you know that new car excitement? Well, not even five minutes into the drive home, I got rear-ended. Yep. A literal test of patience right out of the gate.

Thankfully, I was okay most importantly. But it was still one of those moments that could’ve easily derailed the day. Calls with insurance, coordinating a rental car, talking with the collision center… it ate up a ton of time.

But here’s what I’m genuinely proud of: I didn’t let it rattle me or steal my peace.
I didn’t once say, “Man, this is terrible timing.” Because honestly it could’ve been so much worse.

Instead, I kept my focus on Romans 8:28:

I don’t know yet what good will come out of it, but I do know this: when we choose to stay grounded, stay positive, and not let negativity spread to those around us, we’re already turning a setback into strength.

🧭 Slower Days, Bigger Picture

This week I’ve also been reminding myself of a quote that’s been sitting heavy on my heart:

Things have been moving slowly lately and maybe you feel that too. But zooming out helps. This journey, both creatively and personally, is about patience and persistence.

The long game always wins.

👨‍👧 Family & Gratitude

This weekend has been a gift. My aunt and uncle visited, and Grace had a dominant soccer game — scored multiple goals (proud dad moment 🙌).

We hit the pumpkin patch today, painted pumpkins, and soaked up fall. These small moments of family, laughter, simple joy are what keep me centered.

🎾 Padel Update

New long-form video just dropped on YouTube this week:

If you’re curious about padel or ready to take your fundamentals up a notch, this one’s for you.

✨ Final Word

Sometimes life tests your peace the same day you think you’ve found it. But peace isn’t the absence of problems.. it’s the presence of perspective.

So whatever comes your way this week, don’t let it steal your calm. Look up, keep moving forward, and remember: even in the inconvenient, God is working for your good.

Talk soon,
Bryant
