I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for quite a while—but for the longest time, it stayed just that: a thought. Excuses came and went, and I kept waiting for the “right moment.” Well, here I am, finally doing it.
In Can’t Hurt Me, David Goggins writes about the voice inside that always wants you to quit. That voice tells you to stop, to stay comfortable. But the real challenge is to override it. Life is like a constant endurance run, and as humans, we make around 35,000 decisions every day. Starting something new—especially something that feels vulnerable —is just one of those decisions. But it's a powerful one.
I’m reminded of an interview with Elon Musk on CNBC. When asked if he regretted some of his controversial tweets, he paused for what felt like forever—twelve seconds of silence. Then he replied, “Offer me money, offer me power—I don’t care.” That moment stuck with me. There’s something freeing about adopting a bit of that “I don’t care” mindset—not in a careless way, but in letting go of the fear of judgment.
To be honest, I still care. I care deeply—but I want to care in a way that allows me to freely express my thoughts and share what I’m learning. If even one person reading this feels a spark of motivation or a shift in mindset, then this was worth it.
Let’s keep going—one step, one word, one decision at a time.
