“Colin’s mind is like ChatGPT for deep thoughts”

For the longest time I had no idea where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do with my life. Since High School I felt out of place and confused. I knew I couldn’t work a normal 9-5 job, but had no guidance or direction.

I’ve spent the past 6 years in search of living a life that I actually want to live. There’s been much confusion and distress along the way. It’s not all figured out, but I’m a hell of a lot happier and more satisfied with where I’m at in life.


We’re all in pursuit of happiness and we all want what’s best for family.

I will NOT be living in regret.

Some stuff I’ve found out so far.

regret

‘Oftentimes many young people, especially males spend years and years climbing a mountain only to look back years later and realize it was the wrong one’

Chris Williamson


Maybe the saddest phrase in the English language.

Too often we settle for Subpar.
We box ourselves in.

More than any other time in history, we’re in an Era of unparalleled opportunity.
Anything but your goals is either ignorant, lazy or both.


New hobbies, cultures, and global travel have never been easier.

The Einsteins. The Mozarts. The Chouinards, Thoreaus, and Marcus Aurelius’ pushed humanity forward.

We have to solve the basic problems if we want to do the same.

And maybe the most useful of all: How to find purpose in this inanity.

Isaac Newton, 1675


I’m here to consolidate the most useful information from the most useful, diverse, outlying sources from the corners of the internet to share them with you. Even if you’re in denial, each of us is incredibly skilled in something that this world desperately needs.

Someone else already solved every single problem we’re struggling with.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”

Hunter S. Thompson

Far too many graveyards a filled with dreams deferred. Generations past have gifted us a Modern World that allows us to work jobs we actually enjoy.

We no longer have to spend 8 hours sewing clothes for the local village. We now live in a world where we’re able to utilize the talents we already have.

Dream on.

Calvin and Hobbes
some goals

 

  1. Experience the rawest of human emotions
  2. Push the limits of human capability
  3. Regret nothing

Push the limits of human potential
Figure out what’s possible
Take Control of Your Damn Life

Above all, embrace happiness aggressively




In a world of any, we’re somehow dissatisfied with every.

  • Unfulfilling
  • Desire for more
  • Aimless wandering
  • Subpar relationships
  • Complacency of Mediocrity
