Reality & Being

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...

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...

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...

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...
