The story
Five years ago, life was just happening to me. Each morning, I’d let the day run the show, ending up frustrated at night wondering why nothing changed. My goals? They felt impossible. And motivation seemed like something only other people had.
Then I hit a breaking point. Not dramatically—just this quiet moment where I realized I couldn’t keep living on autopilot. I started investigating why I felt so stuck. That’s when I discovered something huge: true empowerment comes from within, not from external forces.
I began with baby steps. Some online research. Free lectures. As I dove into self-directed learning, I realized I had seriously undersold myself. Teaching yourself something new? That literally rewires your brain. It shows you that you’ve got what it takes to figure things out.
The biggest change wasn’t about crushing goals or maximizing productivity. It was about changing my internal dialogue. Instead of beating myself up about being behind, I learned to focus on moving forward. Simple shift, massive impact.
These days, I own my time. My goals make sense because I understand my purpose better. Sure, I still fail sometimes, but now I know how to bounce back. That’s the thing about persistence—you build it over time, like a muscle.
I’m sharing this because it’s exactly what my book “The Journey – I Wish I Knew This Before I Was 21” explores. The first two chapters break down these exact mindset shifts and practical tools. Ready to flip the script on your life?
