Hi reader,

Something has been on my mind a lot:

Wanting the feel of something

vs.

Wanting to actually do something

Before 2008, I liked the idea of continuously traveling around the world doing talks.

Then I went on my first book tour and was burnt out after three weeks 🤷🏾‍♂️

AI-Powered Creativity

Instant, polished presentations powered by AI. Impress your audience effortlessly with Gamma. Engage users on any device. Measure engagement, get quick reactions, and collaborate seamlessly.

Let’s be clear: There’s nothing wrong with loving the idea of something. You may want to be a BOSS, create every family meal from scratch, or go live in a Far East temple for a year.

But do you really want to commit to it?

If you are ambitious like I am, then one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself is one simple phrase: “You don’t have to follow through.”

Yes, there is a beauty in seeing a vision, making it real, and feeling the glory of accomplishment for yourself and from others.

But at what cost? Your true passion might actually lie somewhere else, somewhere that seems less romantic, but way more fulfilling.

It is something you’ll never know if you keep trading passion for glory 🐯
