If I've learned one thing from this... unconventional life... it's that you have to protect your faith in your future like your life depends on it. Because it does.

I think everybody has that voice in their head that tells them they're meant for something bigger, that they're destined for success or greatness of some sort. So, should we listen to it?

Looking back on my life, it was the times when I wasn't listening to it that were the worst. The tension between who I was and who I could've been grew stronger as the gap between them grew larger. And the reason I would ignore the voice was in no small part due to my subscription to the idea that ambition was indicative of 'big ego' or some BS like that. Most of the time, it's just internalised tall poppy syndrome.

Nearly dying marked a turning point in my life, I took back control of the ship, but when the waters got rough, I nearly capsised. Not because of my steering but because I kept letting the sea of doubt get inside.

Don't let it get inside.

Channel overview:

A few years ago, I was stuck in bed, hating the universe for subjecting me to the 'sick and twisted game of life' without my consent. I was pathetic.

It was only after I realized something very important that things began getting better... life didn't suck; I did.
In the absence of friction, my mind was conjuring its own, so life was hard, yes, but it didn't have to be. The suffering was unnecessary. After a few years of incremental progress, I'm having the time of my life. I've never been in better shape, my mind has never been sharper, I've never experienced so much happiness, and it's all rooted in a deep sense of meaning that was once absent.

I had to shake myself of lots of old beliefs and patterns to get to where I am, and I believe there are millions of other people who feel stuck and could learn from my mistakes. So that's why I'm starting this channel: to share some of the insights that formed the foundation of the psychological habitat I now occupy.

I don't know exactly how the channel will develop but I'm going to start by posting my raw ideas as that's the only thing I can consistently do at this point in time.

I hope it helps!
