Now I'm in the late part of my early career, trying to figure out what I want from life. Recently, I decided: "I don't know, but I'd like to find out."
I'm 25, still living in Raleigh, NC—married to the love of my life, working my childhood dream job, and getting a lot of satisfaction and fulfillment out of life.
Lately, I've taken to writing short stories as a creative outlet and a way to explore ideas better lived than told.
Right now, I'm experimenting with something I call "Mission First Mornings"—creating a sacred time each weekday to work on my life mission. This entails waking up at 6:15, brewing 250 ml of decaf pour over coffee, stealing 10 minutes of fresh air, and then sitting down to work on something important to me for an hour before having breakfast with my wife. I'm following Matt D'Avella’s rule: don't miss two days in a row.
