An admission

Twenty years of certainty. One honest moment.

To my future self,

I’m the guy who knows what needs to be done. I pick a destination and run. I never question it.

I’ve done some incredible things.

I think I’m finally ready to admit that I have no idea what I’m doing.

Looking forward, the best I can do is set an intention and work my tail off. For example, I’m writing these letters in the hope that they’ll be valuable, but I have no idea if it’s worth it. I’m dedicating my precious life to this dream that may or may not come true.

The only thing I know to be true is that I need to keep moving my feet, as fast as I can, even though I don’t know where I’m going.

I used to think the plan is the most important thing. But now, I know that it’s just going to fall apart the moment I take a step. Now, I know it’s better to just start becoming that person I want to be instead of spending another second thinking about whether or not it’s worth it.

I have no idea what I’m doing. I don’t know if I ever will.

My hope is that one day you’ll look back at this letter and think, “yeah, that’s a good way to live life.”
