I'm 26, just had a baby, and have no idea what I'm doing.

and I've never been more excited to wake up.

A few years ago, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I was jumping on trends, starting businesses that looked cool, all to be a certain type of person.

Those businesses failed! I failed.

but I'm SO thankful they did

I was young, naive and cared what other people thought (even randomers on Insta 💀)

Thankfully, as I've gotten older, things have changed. I now wake up excited for what I'm building.

Building stuff which gets me excited. And doing it with people I admire.

It has its moments. I've had plenty, but then I remember I'm 26 years old, live in Bali and have no mortgage, so I might as well give it a good ol go

I want this to be a reminder to you: Life is for LIVING Business, hobby, or whatever it may be.

Go try things. You'll soon find what you enjoy.
