1000:

1000.

1000 blog posts (can see them all here).

Written on August 11th at 2:30 in the morning.

Holy shit.

I did it.

This started out as nothing,

As an experiment.

As a joke.

Now 3.5 years later, this is my future.

I’ve found what I’ll do forever.

My purpose.

My goal.

My dharma.

I have it.

It’s so rare for people to find it.

Especially so young.

Yet I have it.

Learn.

Write.

Podcast.

Create.

Teach.

Do that at scale for the world.

And voila.

More than I could ever imagine.

I wasn’t supposed to get here.

This wasn’t supposed to be my path.

I didn’t even like writing.

My Grade 12 English teacher was the first person who told me I had something.

That I was different.

That I had a voice that was unique.

I hated English my whole life.

And yet here I am.

Writing 1000 blog posts, and 2 books, in 3.5 years.

It’s hard for me to comprehend that.

Think it’s hard for most people.

1000 is just a number.

Yet it means so much more than that for me.

It’s commitment.

It’s dedication.

It’s consistency.

It’s showing up.

It’s trying.

It’s failing.

It’s continuing.


It’s grinding.

It’s doing it even when I don’t want to.

That’s what 1000 means to me.

1000 blog posts in 3.5 years.

Give me 50 years and watch what I can do.

I will do this forever.

I’ve found it.

Learn.

Understand.


Write.

Then teach.

Share.

Keep sharing.

Even when that voice in your head tells you not to.

Do that again and again, and watch.

The world will open up.

You’ve already won.

Zero people in the world have your background, experiences, skillset and work ethic.

Zero.

Only that’s a tiny part of the story.

People don’t know how much I’ve done.

What 1000 blog posts means.

What notes on hundreds of non-fiction books means.

What the effort I’ve shown means.


They don’t get it.

Good.

That’s my opportunity.

It’s always been my opportunity.

Now I’m ready to show the world.

I have 1000 blog posts that tell my story.

Crazy to think.

There’s no stopping where I’ll end up.

Congratulations on 1000 my man.

You deserve it.

Here’s to 10,000 more.
