Life is a constant balancing act between vision and reality. We often find ourselves asking, “If I had 10x the agency, what would I do?” That question, so deceptively simple, shows us how limited we can be by our own self-imposed constraints. The truth is, we have barely scratched the surface of our potential.
We live in an age where the smartest people invest their time, while others chase after money. But have you ever stopped to think—are you investing in the right things? In a crisis, you truly begin to see the heart of people; their character, their values. That's when the world shows its raw beauty, but also its flaws.
Look around: the economy thrives because the smartest minds are paying beautiful people to sell insecurity. It’s a constant cycle, and yet, we often get caught up in the noise. At the end of the day, do you want to be liked or do you want to win?
Civilization wasn't built by pessimists. It was created by dreamers, doers, and passionate visionaries who never let the weight of failure stop them. We see the world as it is, but when you truly internalize that everything around you—the buildings, the roads, the institutions—was made by people like you, you realize how much tenacity it all requires. That park, that railway, that hotel... they are all a testament to what happens when you dare to dream and relentlessly pursue it.
The future is where the magic lies. Be maniacally focused on it, because there’s nothing waiting for you in the past. You’ve only just begun to tap into what you’re capable of. Keep going. Keep creating. Keep pushing forward. Your life is a passion project, and it’s up to you to make it magnificent.
