the day she made a decision

Hey friend, 

I was sitting on the sofa last night with Valentina, the girl i’m seeing here in colombia, and her friend. 

Explaining to them the possibilities of their lives once they create online income. It’s amazing getting to a place with my spanish where I can begin to communicate ideas that i’m super inspired by.

Valentina is in the process of setting up as a freelancer UGC content creator. Thanks to my brother Caleb and his gf who are building a solution in this space. 

She’s got her lighting equipment sorted, creating her portfolio and is about to start reaching out to her first brands. 

It’s a whole new world for her- but the switch has flicked in her eyes. She can see what’s possible for her life. 

See, at any given moment, whether we see it or not, we actually posses every thing we need to move forward. To create what it is we are here to create. 

The resources and the how-to is always present- but usually beyond our current understanding, we just can’t see it. 

The difference between those who come to an understanding of how to move forward and create what they want is simple…

They make a decision- consciously or unconsciously - to explore life and living beyond what they currently know, beyond what they currently understand.

They make a decision to let go of all they know, and ask new questions. 

For Valentina, Im not sure when she made that decision, I don’t think she knows either. 

Maybe it was 4 months ago when she decided to get coffee with some Australian kid who couldn’t speak her language. 

Maybe it was months before that. 

But she made a decision - I can see it in her eyes. 

And now she’s got a path to abandon the low expectations & opportunities of a typical Colombian university student and create a global vision for her life. 

Thats the beauty of pain. Pain causes us to act. Pain causes to make a decision.

And thats why most people who have lived safe, comfortable lives are content to stay in such a place.

If you want to explore life beyond what you have ever lived…

All you have to do is make a decision.
