An infinite number of paths and outcomes, but ultimately only discoverable by you.

And I think that's one of the most beautiful things about life.

And once you give yourself permission to walk a certain path, once you believe in something greater than the world as it currently exists, you become an artist.

Painting something that was not there before.

using the highs as little benchmarks to remind you why you started to begin with when your landscape becomes gray.

It's using the lows as fuel that turns the ordinary into extraordinary that slingshots the old you to the new you, adding brightness and vibrance to the overall scene.

You're encapsulating all of it as you move through that great unknown.

As you push further and further into the abyss.

You're playing the role of maker.

Not because you knew how it would all turn out, but because you didn't, and still, you executed.

Recently in an interview, I heard Alex Hermosi, a now accomplished entrepreneur in his own right, talking about some of his failings, consulting gyms in the fitness industry, the moment when things went south.

And he lost it all.

Or for a moment, he thought he had.

Money, assets, and perhaps even the pride, gone.

Gone.

but came to learn that money and those assets, they are lagging indicators.

They aren't the value that's obtained.

The value is who you become.

The value is learning how to be someone who can obtain those things in the first place.

It's emerging from the old restriction and limitation, the old narratives.
