 <blockquote>โThis world is but a canvas to our imagination.โ Henry David Thoreau</blockquote> It is my belief that we are all here to create our own sort of masterpiece. We are all here to create something that we love and that inspires us to greater heights each and every day. When I look back on my life, I see moments of depression and moments of inspiration. The moments of depression come when I don't have some sort of project. When I don't have a project that really fires me up and gets me out of bed. The times of inspiration come when I have that project. When there is some sort of art or craft or business or investment that drives me forward. When I wake up in the morning, I shoot out of bed and can't wait to get ready for another day. I can't wait to get back to the "canvas" and keep "painting".. When you find something that you enjoy doing as much as you enjoy breathing, the inspiration you derive from it can be an endless source. It can almost feel overwhelming. Like there are so many iterations and plans for future things that you want to do. It can feel like you are incredibly in spired to do great things but those things are so great that they require you to grow and morph and evolve over time. I've come to understand something very fundamental to what drives me: I don't want to leave any potential on the table. I don't want to wake up when I'm 80, look back on my life and have regrets. I want to wake up at 80 and be proud as fuck of the things I've accomplished. I want to realize that what I've done in life is extraordinary and is to the fullest of my potential. Leave no potential on the table. Do the things that you know are valuable and right in your life!
