" You are your greatest project and your most rewarding story."
- Horden Huang
Story
Think of the stories we stay in our minds:
When Luke leaving Tatooine,
Gatsby reinventing himself,
the friend who turned his life around.
What makes them compelling isn’t comfort, but change.
Throughout the course of my life (although a short 18 years),
nothing has brought me more joy nor fulfillment than my personal growth.
I’m sure many of you can agree that,
We are the main characters of the stories we enjoy sharing.
Why?
Because of struggles to become the story.
The sleepless nights, the rejections, the lonely moments when no one believed in us.
That becomes our plot.
The pain we try to avoid is the very essence that makes our life worth telling.⠀
There’s a reason why individuals regret the corporate grind.
They were sacrificing building themselves for a superficial gain.
The long hours, with the tradeoff being sanity, health, relationships for money and status.
Many experience a midlife crisis of the gap of who they wanted to be and who they were.
Some leave to pave their own path, with joy of what’s ahead.
Become
Every dollar in the stock market compounds at 7–10% a year.
Every hour invested into yourself can return 10x daily,
in charisma, in confidence, in the way people respond to you.
Reinvent you.
Remember, its who you become on the journey.
