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

Perspective

The fire of an idea fades with time—ignite it while it burns.

Story

On Sunday, a friend hit me with a bet: Let’s both learn guitar. 

Without thinking, I was all for it, saying “hell yeah.”

An hour later, I was on the phone with a fellow friend who played it. By the end of our conversation, I had a guitar on the way. 

The moment it arrived, I picked it up and started learning. I'm a few days in and im seeing progress, constantly hyping myself up whenever I learn something new.  

However, If I had waited, like when I was a child, if I thought about it too much, doubt would have crept in. 

Someone would’ve told me it’s “it's not for you,” or that I don’t have “ talent.” 

Maybe I would’ve convinced myself I didn’t have the time. 

And the worst part? I probably would’ve believed it and never started this absolutely majestic journey.

Ascend

Just like fire, with time, ideas fade away. 

You don’t have to be fully ready. You just need action.

So what's the no you keep refusing? A skill, an opportunity, a challenge?

Start. Just like me.

Because one day, you’ll look back and realize that the best things in your life came from the moments you didn’t hesitate.

Remember, its who you become on the journey.
