In the beginning it was me and a big open world. I truly saw it that way, even though I had only ever glimpsed the edges of it. The minds around me were small, limited, content with the peripheral. They didn’t seek more, and neither did I at the time.
I noticed it early. I was always hungry to see more, to understand why people moved the way they did, why they thought the thoughts they thought. I wanted to know what drove ambition, curiosity, fear, and joy. I wanted to feel the pulse of the world beyond my own small corner.
As I grew, that curiosity became my compass. It shaped the way I approached life, work, and every challenge I encountered. In business, I was drawn to what others overlooked, to opportunities hidden in plain sight. In people, I noticed patterns, motivations, the subtle behaviours that reveal so much. In myself, I learned that growth comes not from comfort but from leaning into the unknown and asking the questions no one else is willing to ask.
Fitness became another way to explore the world but not just the world outside, but the world inside me. Pushing my body through pain and discipline mirrored the lessons I was learning in life and business. Strength isn’t built in a day, clarity doesn’t come from waiting, and resilience comes from showing up even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.
Looking back, that “big open world” wasn’t just outside me. It was inside me all along. It was curiosity, drive, and a refusal to settle. And I realized that the only way to truly see it, understand it, and leave my mark was to move, act, and reflect everyday.
This is where my story truly begins. It’s an emotional rollercoaster of relationships, business ups and downs, moments of enlightenment, and lessons I’ve learned along the way. I share it here in the hope that it can shed some light for others, or at the very least, give me a space to clear my head and make sense of it all.
