Welcome to Shoshin, my journal of lessons from this journey we call "life".

Perspective

" One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful. "​

Story

Remember the time where you were going through struggle, through doubt?

You thought that you wouldn't make it, that you were “done for”.

Only for time to pass, for you to surmount adversity, emerging stronger than ever.

Just like iron, you were forged into something better, through fire.

​

That period of time shaped us.

Here's a quick story from my life.
​

During my law internship, I was invited to participate in a mock trial, attended by esteemed individuals from a private firm.

My instinctive reason was like fuckkkkkkk.

I was beyond nervous, due to my fear of public speaking and of my competition.

However, my mentors taught and assured me, and the day came where I presented my case.

Instead of just standing in the center and speaking, I decided to pull a move that Harvey Specter would do.
I legit started walking around the room while speaking, utilizing the power of tonality and pauses. My entire body was trembling.

The room was in complete shock, especially my peers.

Even though we lost, this was an immense spurt of growth for me.

​

Growth never is comfortable, but it's always worth it

Ascend

Embrace the fire.
Embrace the journey.

Lean into discomfort, because one day, you’ll look back and realize—it was never breaking you, it was building you.

​

Remember, its who you become on the journey.
