I'm speaking into the void

I’m speaking into the void:

I’m speaking into the void.

Is anyone listening?

Does anyone care what I talk about?

Is anyone paying attention?

Or am I speaking to no one?

Who cares.

Whether 1 or 1 million people like what I do, I cannot stop that from doing my thing.

Continuing to write no matter the likes or criticism.

I can control my effort.

I can control what I put out into the world every day.

Does that mean I will fail?

Yes.

1 million times.

Does that mean I will succeed?

Likely.

But success is never guaranteed.

Every time you see it, you’ll get knocked down even farther and have to work twice as hard to get back.

Are you ready?

Are you ready to be criticized openly and have people laugh at you online for years about your ideas?

Yea?

You sure?

Because you may not be speaking into a void for much longer.

If some of your ideas come true, you’re in a different category of people.

You’re amongst those who potentially change the course of history in their own way.

Does that matter?

No.

Because I still would do this even if that doesn’t happen.

I would still write and produce content.

Went back to read some of my posts about the future and although they got some things right, they got a lot wrong.

The confidence and arrogance of some of the posts are confusing.

I was so confident.

Confident enough that I lost lots of money in the process.

Am I stressed about that?

Not in the slightest.

I took a chance and it didn’t pay off.

Simple as that.

That’s not going to stop me from not taking risks.

From not speaking about ideas that seem crazy or totally against what most people believe.

I know myself.

I know what I’ve done.


I know the work I’ve put in and the experiences I’ve had.

I’m not afraid anymore.

I’m not scared to put my ideas against the world.

Will I be wrong more than I’m right going forward?

Absolutely.

I’ll fail a ton, but look at what I’ve done already.

I’m a kid who skipped a grade, became a doctor at 23, left medicine, lived in multiple continents, worked at the best firm in his country in one of the most difficult industries to get into and built a massive roster of content while potentially calling one of the greatest events in market history before it happened.

I’m already a success.

Whether anyone is paying attention or not, that’s not going to stop me.

Watch me build.

I won’t be speaking into the void much longer.

Writing for no one, reflecting on old posts and not being afraid anymore
