Day 941 - Day 431 - May.15.21 - sometimes you just feel weird

‍

Where do I start? Sometimes you just feel weird. Like you don’t have life figured out because you don’t know what tomorrow will bring. You’re stressed out about some future issue that hasn’t happened yet. But your mind prepares for it as if you know what’s going to happen. Guess what? No one does. The future's uncertain and completely out of your control. There is no future, there is only the present. But if you can understand the present in the context of history and make significant bets at significant periods of time in history, you could literally change your world. Everything is different. I didn’t get to this point without work and getting lucky. Putting myself in as many positions as possible to get lucky. It’s failing from one thing to the next as Churchill would say without stopping. Am I really committed to this writing thing? I think so. I genuinely love it because I’m not judging my writing. I’m letting my mind flow and see where thoughts and ideas take me. I’m letting my mind do its job of seeing opportunities. You have to start investing in yourself. You have to start putting in the time to work on who you are. Don’t let other people control your identity. Do your own thing. Tell your own story. Your life is a movie and nobody is watching it but you. Why don’t you make it the best movie possible?
