Nobody owes you the life you dream of. 🤯

Society isn’t set up for you to pursue your purpose—until you’re willing to embrace the uncomfortability of finding it.

If starting your own business was easy, everyone would do it. That’s why it’s hard. And that’s what makes it worth it.

No one is going to hold your hand and guide you to the life or career you’ve always dreamed of. You have to figure it out yourself. You have to “create your own luck”—which, in my experience, is just the compounding effect of showing up as a loving, intentional human being.

Here’s the thing: If there’s something you’ve always wanted to do, you have two choices:

1️⃣ You try, and you’ll either succeed or learn some of life’s most valuable lessons.

2️⃣ You don’t, and you’ll probably learn those same lessons—but in a way where you have far less control over the outcome.
At the end of the day, don’t let the bullshit of starting a business stop you from starting in the first place.
Treat it like a game: If you play, you might win or lose. But if you never play, you’ve already lost.

If you have something you’ve always wanted to do in life, you’ll either learn a lot of valuable life lessons, or you’ll always live with the regret of never trying and probably learn those life lessons in another form where you probably have less control of determining the end outcome.

Moral of the story - don’t let the bullshit of starting a business get in the way of you starting it in the first place.

Look at it as a game that if you play, you can win or lose, but if you have the desire to play and never do, you’re just going to lose.
