The resources are there, the tools are there, the opportunity is there.

How crazy is the fact that we just need to convince ourselves that more is worth it.

That the difficulty of short-term vulnerability isn't an enemy.

the very ticket required for admission to the show.

And so I ask again, what are you afraid of?

Falling?

Because you will rise, and you will rise stronger than you ever were.

Is it criticism?

Because one, people are so focused on their own endeavors that they look up way less than we think they do.

And two, other than the small group you surround yourself with, why would you care?

Is it pride?

Because building things of significance requires starting on the ground floor.

And there's no shame but honor in breaking down to build up.

And when I look at my life in terms of chapters, right, childhood, high school, college, 20s, 30s, the things that were my biggest concerns during each chapter are now laughable.

And maybe, just maybe, if I saw that, I could have lived a little freer, been a little bolder.

What if we were to get ahead of that learning curve?

What if we understood that life is beautiful and flexible and exciting?

And what if we understood that now?

Instead of looking at this chapter 15 years down the road and chuckling to ourselves for not having the courage to have made the leap, taken the chance to have moved out into an unknown.

We cannot physically see that which doesn't exist, which is why it's so important that we know we are the architects.
