This past week was one where I felt lighter, which led to me wanting to let loose a bit.
It’s a dangerous version of myself.
But the good side of it…
There are some big conversations being had, and those are pushing a focus on me, which I really enjoy. I like signing up for shit knowing it will keep me accountable.
I wired the money for my two final investments of 2025 this week. I am an advisor to both of them, which motivates me to be my best for them, and at the same time brings me a little anxiety knowing I have to do my absolute best, and that’s no easy task.
This is what I’ve wanted for many years, so now we see just how effective I can be.
On the other side of this “lighter” vibe is the desire to force the future, or, in many cases, obsess/worry about today to prepare/hedge for a better future.
I noticed the options I gave above revealed much of my worry in and of themselves.
Worry about today to hedge for the future…
I suppose you may find a better choice of words, but they made sense in my mind.
I’ve been discussing my purpose in life with my mentor, Rex. One thing that has stuck out to me is my ability to establish a very solid purpose in life while simultaneously getting caught up in my “fear-based reality”, which pushes me to question everything.
When I sit back and write this out, I find a certain peace that I enjoy. It’s often short-lived, but I do find peace on occasion.
Random moment: I received a photo of my dog, Wilbur, as I was writing that last sentence. It caused me to break down in tears as I appreciated him and his energy. This especially makes me emotional while I’m in this cerebral state.
He (Wilbur) is such a great representation of “Source Love.”
I chose to write my blog this week while sitting in my backyard having an off-and-on conversation with my dear friend, Cameron. Well, with his spirit, but you get the point.
It was a conversation about purpose, devotion, greed, love, and much more. I again found myself breaking down a bit.
This week starts an exciting yet challenging month at Fountain Forward.
Now is (not) the time to panic, now is also the time to double down on what’s working and plan for your future. I’m announcing our 2026 objectives to our team today.
There are some big waves splashing around in the automotive space, which may be a warning sign for the economy as a whole. As it is many times I’m bullish and bearish all at once.
That’s about where I’m at with my “purpose” in life as well.
I’m bullish on many things, and bearish on the rest.
Something that is just incredible to watch is the growth of Accounting Labs. I want to lift up Emiliano Basso this week on the back of his incredible work over the past six months.
You are an inspiration to me as you continue to challenge yourself to reach your capabilities.
Imagine what the future may hold for you.
It’s a calm and cerebral Monday here at the office. I’m gonna take it all in and just take some alone time.
With love,
