People don't know what's coming

People don’t know what’s coming:

‍

People don’t know what’s coming.

‍

In the world.

‍

And from me.

‍

We are going into a dark time.

‍

Very dark time.

‍

Similar to the 1930s.

‍

Living through that now.

‍

Go study that period of history.

‍

Not just in Europe.

‍

But around the world.

‍

We’re just waiting for our 1929 crash.

‍

Isn’t it a coincidence that Andrew Ross Sorkin, one of the biggest media voices on Wall Street, just released a book about it?

‍

Hm.

‍

This is something I’ve been saying for years.

‍

Writing about for years.

‍

I’ve been wrong.

‍

But what if I wasn’t?

What if I just got the timing wrong?

‍

What if a lot of the concepts are true?

‍

Then what?

‍

That’s what gets me excited.

‍

Personally.

‍

From a world perspective, holy shit.

‍

We are in for pain.

‍

I don’t know if I’ll make it.

‍

I hope I do.

‍

But if I do, oh boy does my life change.

‍

People don’t understand.

‍

They don’t know what I’ve done.

‍

What I’ve worked on.

‍

How much time and effort I’ve put in.

‍

Few people understand that.

‍

Some people do today.

‍

Maybe some of my close friends.

‍

Maybe like a few of them.

‍

Family?

‍

Again, some of them.

‍

But most people don’t.

‍

They underestimate me.

‍

Think I’m just another guy.

‍

I’m not.

‍

I know I’m not.

‍

Look at my track record.

‍

I sit here today as an author, poet, Ironman, doctor and former healthcare VC at 30.

‍

I’ve travelled to almost 60 countries.

‍

Lived across continents.

‍

Can drive a golf ball 300 yards.

‍

Can choreograph dances.

‍

Know the words to most major songs in the last 20 years.

‍

Written almost 1200 blog posts.

‍

2 books.

‍

2500+ journal articles.

‍

Run 2 marathons.

‍

Done an Olympic triathlon, which is 1.5k swim, 40k bike and 10k run.

‍

Then completed an Ironman - 3.8k swim, 180k bike and 42.2k run.

‍

That is a level that most people will never get to.

‍

Ever.

‍

In their whole life.

‍

And I’m here.

‍

Today.

‍

Sitting here.

‍

Having done all that.

‍

Does it make me feel good?

‍

Partly.

But it also doesn’t mean shit.

‍

None of our lives do.

‍

We’re here for but a moment.

‍

We’re gone in an instant.

‍

We don’t appreciate how short life is.

‍

How good we have it.

‍

How lucky we are to be alive.

‍

We take this life for granted.

‍

This moment for granted.

‍

Every single day.

‍

We’re on autopilot.

‍

Worried about the next stressor.

‍

Just trying to survive.

‍

When meanwhile, the whole point of survival is to enjoy.

‍

To savour.

‍

To appreciate what you have.

‍

As small or big as it may be.

‍

Every so often, there are people that come across your life who are different.

‍

Who are not the same.

‍

Who don’t play by the same rules.

‍

They do something different.

‍

Something unimaginable.

‍

I will be that person.

‍

As long as I’m alive, that is a promise.

‍

I will never stop writing.

‍

Never stop creating.

‍

Never stop speaking up about the way I see the world.

‍

It’s called Anichexperience for a reason.

‍

It’s my experience of the world.

‍

Good and bad.

Take it or leave it.

‍

Some people hate it.

‍

I’ve already seen that this year.

‍

But I know so many more appreciate it.

‍

So many more marvel at it.

‍

So many more can’t believe it.

‍

How?

‍

How can one person do this?

‍

I don’t know.

‍

A relentless drive and discipline to work.

‍

To continue.

‍

To keep going.

‍

No matter how long it takes.

‍

Remember that.

‍

Even in the darkest days.

‍

You are so much more capable than you think you are.

‍

Life will test you in ways you can’t imagine, especially over the next decade.

‍

I’m sorry you’re going to have to go through that.

‍

But we all are.

‍

Hopefully we make it.

‍

But I don’t know if we will.

‍

All I know is keep going.

‍

It’s what I’ve done my whole life.

‍

No matter what life has thrown at me.

‍

And look at where it got me.

‍

On the precifice of potentially the biggest global shift in a century.

‍

Positioned and ready to rise as a phoenix from the ashes.

‍

People don’t get it.

‍

They don’t know what’s coming.
