I have been sick the last two days. Being sick and weak really gives you perspective. I am grateful to say I rarely get sick so this really took me by surprise. It made me reflect how much I value my strong body and how I want to continue to improve it. Getting over a sickness also feels like a rebirth. I have been hyper aware of what I put in my body and how it will make me feel. I want to continue this. It is really difficult to do while at home and trying to line up meals with my parents but that is okay.
I talked with my good friends Zach and Jared this evening and we explored important ideas. Zach shared this idea of a new section of life he/we are entering. The past 25 years have been about acquiring data, freedom, exploration. I quit my job to gain perspective about the world and the best way of life to live. As Zach put it, AI is trained on data, and really high quality data is super expensive. That is what I did with quitting my job and traveling the world. To acquire high quality data on how to maximize life and how to live it.
While at home the past few weeks, similar to when I first got back, the external forces try and weigh influence over you. I have done a good job, and will continue to defend my perspectives and life choices. Business with Kyle has been great and I know we have so much to give there too.
Zach mentioned this new section can be about relentless building. I have thought about this while building my business and new life. Being a builder and a creator is an important quality of my life and I want to continue that strong. There is no reason I could not be a billionaire if I tried.
Rachel comes in to town tomorrow, the first time seeing her in six months and since the trip. I am excited for what will unfold. I will then head to Guatemala on a one way trip for a one month backpacking trip, very possibly my last extended travel. I am excited to find a place to make a home, to build a home, to grow into for the next section of life.
