Hello and welcome back to the Tiny Pod.
This week I want to talk about capacity.
As we end the year and look back at all that has passed, we begin
to look ahead at what we are wanting more of in 2026, whether
it is a new relationship or healthier versions of the ones
we are already in. More money or a new job or a
complete change in location are resolutions for the new year of
the seed. The ability for the seed to
blossom is capacity. We have to build the capacity to
hold what we are calling in, the capacity to be vulnerable for
the love we desire, the capacity to manage money for the wealth
we are calling in and the capacity to accept change
without collapsing when the new job or the new direction in life
takes shape. Capacity.
Recently the Jake Paul Antony Joshua fight Jake Paul had
limitless self belief and I love that because every step starts
with believing in yourself. No one can believe in yourself
for you. But the next step is capacity
and this requires humility, time and nervous system maturity
manifesting. Believing and hoping gets us
nowhere without capacity. The word capacity comes from the
Latin word capacitus and CapEx, meaning able to take in, able to
hold, able to contain. So at its root, capacity
literally means the ability to receive and hold something
without breaking, spilling, or collapsing.
Capacity originally meant containment and was about space
and structure, not desire, potential, ambition or
achievement. A vessel had capacity only in so
far as it would hold what was poured into it.
It didn't matter how valuable the contents were, If the vessel
cracked, overflowed or leaked, all was lost.
Belief is the spark. Belief initiates movement and
feels powerful, energising and exciting, but our capacity
determines the outcome. You can believe in love,
abundance, purpose, a new life and imagining these things is
often motivating. But if your system does not have
the capacity to hold them, they either won't arrive or will
destabilise you when they do. That's physics and it's why
capacity is non negotiable. The Jake Paul Anthony Joshua
fight shows capacity in the body.
Jake Paul believed he could win. His self belief enabled him to
entertain a fight with a world champion, but it was his
capacity that meant he couldn't win that fight no matter what
belief he had. Boxing isn't about confidence or
luck, it's about muscle memory, instincts and conditioning built
over decades. Anthony's focus was rooted in
preparation, outcome, expectation without needing to
prove anything to anyone. Jake Paul's bravado tried to
bypass the reality that he was entering uncharted territory out
of his capacity, the physiological reality.
Anthony's capacity comes from thousands of rounds, thousands
of hits absorbed and integrated, thousands of micro adjustments
learned under threat. That's why belief alone could
not bridge the gap between their stark differences.
Because fighting someone like Anthony is not about trying
harder or praying harder or believing in yourself more.
It is about the full body, mind and experience integration that
comes from years of discipline. Because capacity is built
through experience. Jake had belief, confidence,
vision, and willingness but lacked decades of neuromuscular
conditioning, ingrained automatic decision making under
pressure. Anthony has cardiovascular depth
built over years. No amount of belief accelerates
biology, and you can't build cardio in a month.
Anthony's capacity is not something you shortcut.
Jake needed his narrative to maintain confidence and was
counting on luck and timing. Like someone who has been
climbing mountains all their life with someone who's done a
few treadmill sessions at home and is thinking they can summit
Everest next week. Capacity is built in the dark.
It requires consistency, commitment and is often boring
in the repetition and discipline needed for lasting growth.
Capacity is the quiet system upgrade happening beneath the
surface. We celebrate sportsmen for their
great achievements, but their capacity to achieve greatness
was built in the boring, repetitive and often painful
daily practise. Capacity is faith with roots,
emotional maturity, and sovereignty built in the body,
heart, mind, and soul. Lasting wealth requires the
capacity to hold responsibility, to expand without guilt, to
regulate spending and understand value, and to manage power
without collapsing or corruption.
Those who create great wealth have grown capacity through
their losses because wealth needs space, nervous system
flexibility, and often deep grief processing.
If manifestation were only belief and affirmation and
living in the end, as Neville Goddard coins it, then the
millions, the partner, the full external shift, would already be
here. The missing part, not often
discussed, is capacity. It is sacred preparation.
Any delay is a time of strengthening.
Weight comes from the original Hebrew meaning of kavar being
braided together like strands strengthening rope.
Waiting is not passive, it reinforces and increases
capacity. The absence of circumstantial
evidence is not absence of progress, it is a strengthening
phase, like bones mineralizing aftergrowth.
Capacity is often invisible until the moment it is
necessary. You can feel your capacity when
urgency fades. Peace in delay is a sign of
readiness, of ability to sit with uncertainty without panic.
Christmas reveals this duality. Belief is Mary saying yes.
Capacity is her carrying the pregnancy and becoming the
mother. Anyone can believe capacity is
becoming compatible with the belief.
When clients say to me I want love, money, a new job, I
reflect whether they feel able to hold it and whether their
nervous system can receive safety or if chaos feels more
comfortable and familiar in their bodies.
We can expand our emotional body to hold true intimacy and
responsibility without fracturing.
Capacity is trainable gently, faithfully, over time.
Our capacity to remain rooted and unshakeable is in direct
correlation with our capacity to regulate our nervous systems.
New wine must be put into new wineskins or the skins will
burst. The old structure cannot hold
the new. When we want a new life, a New
Year's resolution, we must first change the vessel.
Belief invites us forward. Capacity sustains the movement.
At the end of the year, there is a lot of surrender and humility
in preparation and growth. Capacity is not just readiness.
It is stabilising, softening, rooting quietly and faithfully.
Capacity is love in action. Believing in love is a concept
anyone can want. Capacity in love is staying when
it is hard, mundane, challenging and human.
It is staying present in relationship that our capacity
for true relationship grows, developing the ability to be
vulnerable, to stay open when triggered, to receive without
chasing, and to tolerate intimacy without self
abandonment. Promotion in love, in purpose,
career, our whole life follows capacity, not desire.
Promotion means responsibility, weight, governance.
Promotion requires maturity and can only occur and last when
your internal order can hold external authority.
Capacity is built without circumstantial evidence because
capacity shows up internally first.
Capacity is the ability to stay steady in love, disappointment
or surprise, to stabilise without reward, and to have
resilience to remain steady regardless of outcomes and
external oscillations. Capacity creates tolerance.
It stretches internal limits safely so that we are able to
sit with uncertainty, to receive abundance without fear or
resistance, and feel joy without immediately fearing loss.
Capacity is the internal elasticity that allows life to
flow without snapping. People wait for a crisis to
develop capacity, but real capacity is built before the
need arises, like preparing for a storm while the sun is
shining. Practising patience before love,
managing small amounts of money before large wealth, and taking
responsibility for our own life grows capacity for greater
wealth, relationships and opportunity.
Capacity shapes our life. As your capacity grows, your
environment stabilises. Capacity is radiating.
People notice it subconsciously and feel safer around you.
Your presence calms chaos instead of feeding it, and
relationships deepen because you have the capacity and space for
yourself and others. Opportunities unfold when your
system is energetically ready to handle them.
Many people want the same thing, but only the one whose life is
shaped for the responsibility can receive it without breaking,
spilling, or leaking. Capacity is built in moment to
moment endurance, the ability to remain steady during ordinary
repetitive challenges. The small frustrations, the
delays, the mundane moments where temptation to collapse
beckons. Capacity is built in tension,
not comfort. Your nervous system grows when
you're gently stretched beyond what you thought you could
handle, not when everything is easy.
That stretch can be emotional, spiritual, physical, or
financial. Our capacity grows in staying
present and steady in the stretch, not running from it.
Capacity roots when it is embodied.
The body's capacity is felt when the heart rate stays level,
breath remains calm under pressure, and you trust yourself
in decision making more consistently.
Capacity is faith anchored. Belief without capacity is like
building a bridge of paper over a river.
Capacity is the steel beams under the faith.
Faith is our capacity to hold internal certainty without
external proof. Capacity grows in layers, like
adding floors to a building. Each layer reinforces the last.
You can measure growth. The pressure threshold changes
the point at which stress used to overwhelm versus now.
We are constantly growing into capacity with every new level of
life, every new blessing, because growth is the process of
constantly changing, expanding and redefining your inner
vessel. At its highest expression,
capacity is the freedom to receive life fully, without fear
or compromise. It is the courage to stand tall
in love, wealth, opportunity, and change.
Knowing you won't break it is serenity.
Embodied capacity is the hidden architecture of every fulfilled
life. Without it, nothing external
sticks. With it, even the unimaginable
becomes natural. I'll see you next week.
