Hey You – Wanderers and Dreamers!
It’s Life. But Happier.
I spent the past 5 years more confused than a blind kid in Bristol. I disliked who I was and what I was doing with my life.
I’m currently customizing life and love living it.
Please let me help you do the same.
“Colin’s mind is like ChatGPT for deep thoughts”
Dude named Josh
People I’ve Helped
“Colin’s mind is like a black box of solutions – I just put my questions in there and out come the answers to my life. It’s incredible”
– A good buddy that speaks Spanish
“My favorite thing we talk about and think about together is talking and thinking… I literally have to use a different neural pathway to talk to Colin, he spots bullshit from a mile away and calls it out immediately. I love the way he makes me think and question my life”
– Some readhead
“I never got the chance to say this… [the world] needs thinkers like you. I observe people a lot and I respected quite a bit about your authenticity and confidence in self. Don’t change”

The Method to the Madness
“What the hell do I do with my Life?”
It’s the world’s greatest question. A quest, not conquered by even Aristotle… okay that’s not.
I’ve been perplexed for the past 5 years. But then… I opened my god damn eyes and figured it out:
Step 1) Try 1,000,000 different things. What do you like?
Step 2) Understand your G.D. brain. It’s incredible. It likes certain things
Step 3) Continue to feed it what it likes. Learn & grow. Figure out your ideal Life
Step 4) Surround yourself with people living your ideal life. Read books.
Step 5) Solve your own problems. Help others with the same problems
Step 6) Find or create the career that lets you do those things… forever
Step 7) Do those things…. forever.
Step 8) Spent quality time with close friends. Exercise. Help others. Make money helping others. Pick up hobbies. Love your life. Never have to retire because you love what you do.
Insecurities suck
Insecurities and indecision are pretty damn annoying. Fear of the future sucks. Uncertainty sucks. Low confidence also sucks. It all sucks. I hated living like that. So I figured out so I don’t have to.

Live a Life you actually want to… instead of one… you know…
you hate?
stuff nightmares are made of
Too many of us get caught up livin’ the life we’re supposed to live instead of the one we actually want.
Friends, family, coworkers… they all influence us, sometimes in a direction we don’t even want to go.
We work & work & work until it’s too late:
- Burnout
- Plateau
- Autopilot
- Complacency
It was the wrong path the whole damn time.
Make Life Make Sense

‘So many people spend their entire 20s climbing the mountain, only to look back and realize it was the wrong mountain the whole time’
We settle down and tire out. We yield. We give in to the life that others want us to live. Why?
Where’s the ambition?
Where’d the dreams go?
Are we just waiting for someone to grab hold, shake us and tell us to wake up?
If we don’t choose ourselves, Time will grab us by the wrist and direct us where to go.
I’m pretty fucking fed up of being nervous about the future, you know?
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.

regret
“I always wanted to do that”
The number of times that saying come out of peoples’ mouths is saddening.
“… I never had time”
Nothing has been easier to attain than this very moment in history. Global travel. New hobbies. New cultures. Learning new skills:
The advancement of the Internet has never made those things easier to acquire.
You deserve more and you deserve better. If you want it badly enough, it is possible.
Fear is no longer an acceptable reason to live a life that you despise. In the age of social media and the Internet we have entered an era of unparalleled opportunity. To live a life anything short of your dreams is unacceptable – It is either naive or lazy or both
We settle for Subpar, far too often.
We box ourselves in to a corner a roll over, accepting what is instead of what could be.

Have some freaking control, Frank
who is this weird guy talking to me?
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.
“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!”
