⚡️ EVERYTHING Starts With THIS
+ Your Life, Your Story

Hey everyone! Happy Sunday this time! ☀️
Honestly, it doesn’t really matter what day it is, I’m just happy to be in your inbox again!
It’s another week to make things happen and I’ve got some thoughts and ideas for you. Let’s dive in!
EVERYTHING Starts With THIS
“Everyone knew it was impossible, until a fool who didn’t know came along and did it.”
Every human achievement started with belief. Someone had to believe something was possible enough before they could even dare to try to achieve it.
We sometimes get the order wrong. We wait until we feel we’re “good enough” to start. But the real sequence is this: Belief inspires Action, and Action builds Ability. You believe first, then you act, and through action, you get better.
Belief is the foundation. It’s the conviction that allows us to take a step forward and the fuel that keeps us going when others doubt us. Without it, we won’t take the first step. With it, the rest naturally follows.
That’s also why belief can be the biggest barrier to our goals. If you truly believe in something, go after it with all your force. And if you don’t, ask yourself: What do you truly believe in? The answer to that question may be one of the most important in your life.
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t - you’re right.”
Your Life, Your Story
You are the author and the main character of your story. And you’re writing every day, whether you’re doing it intentionally or not.
We have this great power to make choices for ourselves - what to do, how to act, who to spend our time with. Let’s not waste it. Let’s be proactive and do our best instead. It’s up to us to make our lives the most interesting possible.
We often get stuck on autopilot - the everyday life - and we forget to live. Living is what life is for. As Annie Dillard says in The Writing Life, “How we spend our days is how we spend our lives.”
Find what makes you happy, excited, and enthusiastic, and optimize your life to do more of those things. Let your curiosity guide you, it’s a great compass, not just for fun, but for finding your true direction in life.
Think of every day as an adventure. Explore the world and try new things. Talk to strangers and make new friends. Create memories. In Die With Zero, Bill Perkins wrote “Your life is the sum of your experiences.” In the end, all we have are our stories.
Take the reins and start writing a story you’ll be proud to tell.
“In the end, we are our choices. Build yourself a great story.”
Bucket List
Nature can be pretty awesome. And weird. Here are The 23 Weirdest Places on Earth according to TimeOut. You probably haven’t heard of all of them, at least I hadn’t. Check ‘em out!
The beach of the week is Fteri Beach, a hidden gem on the island of Kefalonia, Greece. There are literally no roads to it, but you can get there by a water taxi or a 40-minute hike. I’m down, let’s go! 🏝️
That’s it for today. Have a wonderful Sunday and see you next time! 🤙
