My Journey - Striving for a Better Me
Like all of us, I’m on a path of continuous transformation—experimenting, failing, learning, and changing, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. There’s nothing revolutionary about that; we all go through these cycles, whether we want to or not. But my goal is to make this process conscious—to take responsibility for who I am and what I do—so I can shape a more fulfilling life.
Of course, it’s not always easy. Most of the time, I feel lost, chasing something bigger and better. My biggest fear is that I have these grandiose visions for myself and my life, and one day I’ll realize that’s not who I’ll become or what I’ll do. It’s a kind of existential angst that both pushes me forward and holds me back.
The prospect of being lonely but right—dedicating your life to something that no one else believes in—is already hard. The prospect of being lonely and wrong can be unbearable.
-Peter Thiel, Zero to One
But maybe there’s another way—maybe even a better way. Life could be similar to meditation: don’t blame yourself for losing focus or feeling lost—celebrate the moment you notice it and gently bring your attention back to what matters.
Every day, we vote with our actions for the person we want to be. This presents a new opportunity to challenge old habits and embrace change. My journey isn’t about reaching a final destination; it’s about evolving through small, intentional, and iterative steps.
In The Nexus of Becoming, I document my path to living more intentionally. I share the techniques that have taught me valuable lessons and the insights that spark new perspectives. By putting my journey into words, I invite you to explore these ideas—and maybe try them for yourself.
Below, you’ll find a collection of practical guides and how-tos that dive deeper into various aspects of my journey. From habit formation to overcoming obstacles, they’re designed to help you—or even just spark a thought—on your own path to growth.
