TikTok is the fastest growing social media app in the world right now.

Initially starting out as a platform for short, entertaining, viral videos, TikTok has quickly evolved into a multifaceted platform that is actively influencing our culture.

Created by Bytedance, its algorithm is finely tuned to keep users engaged for extensive periods of time, attracting over a billion users globally so far.

This platform's success has prompted competitors like Facebook and Instagram to introduce features like

What if you were the chosen one?

What if you were the one destined to change everything?

That your life isn’t like everyone else's, that your purpose is something more important, more profound.

That you are part of a prophecy destined to come true, destined to change everything.

These are the characteristics we commonly associate with the idea of the chosen one.

It’s an idea that resonates deeply with the majority of people.

But why?

You have dreams.

You have visions for the future.

You have goals.

But why?

Why dream?

Why imagine a better future?

Why lay out goals for yourself?

Is it for money?

For status?

For power?

Look deeper.

If you long for riches, you'll never be satisfied.

If you long for status, you might...

Life is fragile.

In the beginning, this experience feels like a long road to walk.

By the end, it feels like it’s come and gone in the blink of an eye.

You come from the unknown, and when your time comes, you return to the unknown.

In between you live.

You love.

You experience something.

But the nature of what you experience is fragile, afforded by a delicate balance throughout the universe that won’t last forever.

But you could argue the fragility of life is what makes it so special.

Its fragility...

Speaking your mind is a scary proposition.

What if people don’t like what you have to say?

What if they don’t want to listen to you?

What if you don’t come across as confident as you are internally?

There’s a difference between our internal dialogue and our outward dialogue.

In our mind, we can be strong - explore ideas, scenarios, and possible futures without confrontation.

In the real world, we’re subjected to criticism, doubt, scepticism, and undeniable challenges.

But that’s the most...

Pride is a double-edged sword.

Too much pride will get you killed.

Too little will get you nowhere.

People with too much pride are arrogant, stubborn, and blind to their flaws.

People with too little pride tend to have low self-esteem, seek to please others to a fault, have difficulty accepting praise, and apologise excessively.

Both are consequential to one’s being.

Both result in a distorted reality of oneself.

You might be someone with...

It's natural to fear change, uncomfortable conversations, or confrontation.

Choosing a life of truth, curiosity, and adventure differs from a life of safety, complacency, and insecurity.

One requires courage to step forward into the unknown.

The other involves settling for a life of quiet desperation.

If the latter resonates with you, you'd be better off if...

How long will it take before you realise that you’re wasting time?

That the window of opportunity you have to chase your dreams and do what you enjoy is closing with every passing day?

Time eventually takes us all - when and how isn’t up to us.

This life is a gift, a blessing, afforded by a delicate balance in the universe that won’t last forever.

This experience will be over in the blink of an eye, and everything you ever were will be...

Time is beautiful, but unforgiving.

Time tells the truth; it won't lie; it can capture the sum of your life in a single moment.

The regret from the opportunities you didn't take, the loathing at the paths you didn't walk, the delusions of grandeur, the self-sabotage, the victimhood, letting your ego run wild - if ignored will compound and consume you eventually.

You can lie to the world, and with luck, your rhetoric might convince them of your lies.

You can lie to yourself, and over time you...

My story to date isn't one of success but of learning and experience.

Not enough learning or experience to think I know more than anyone else.

But not little enough to think I don't have something worth sharing.

My story so far is different from the one you might expect.

The internet is overflowing with stories of entrepreneurs telling stories about how they went from nothing to something.

Many of them make it sound easy like anyone can do it.

But the truth is that most entrepreneurs...

When I look back on this post years from now I want to be able to say Ambio is keeping its promise, that it’s building genuinely powerful business solutions that drive efficiency, empower growth, and foster innovation.

‘Powerful’ because a strong technical infrastructure and beautiful user interface are essential to a good customer experience.

‘Drive Efficiency’ because optimising business operations to achieve the highest possible output is half the battle.

‘Empower growth’ because...

Your past isn’t you.

Your past is a series of many versions of you, many memories all spliced together throughout your life.

You might bind to a particular version of yourself, one that you’re afraid to leave behind.

It makes sense; we all do it.

But true growth comes not from letting go, but from understanding every experience you’ve ever had has contributed, for better or for worse, to the person you are right now.

Each passing moment offers the opportunity to...

I’ve always wanted to start a blog, but could never justify its existence. Would people read it? Am I a good enough writer? Do I actually have anything worth sharing? Would I be taking attention away from other projects important to me?

These are questions that are yet to be answered.

At times, I’m too conservative when it comes to sharing my work. Like a lot of us, I don’t want to put anything out there until it’s ‘perfect’, but there’s no such thing perfect, only better than yesterday.
