How many people have moved across careers and been successful in both?

How many people read and take notes on 200+ non-fiction books in a few years?

How many people write 700+ blog posts in 2+ years?

How many people become poets just because?

How many people write about historical events before they happen?

How many people have found their life’s purpose?

Not many.

I’m so lucky.
