Hey friends,
Let me tell you a story:
A young man once lived in a small village.
For his whole life, he did the same things and talked to the same people.
It was all he knew.
Until one day, he decided to leave.
He wasn’t sure where he was headed but started anyway.
This is the beginning of his journey:
💻 Everything on the Internet is True
I have recently begun a journey online -Writing my weekly newsletter (The Friday Framework) & short-form content on Twitter.
Being an absolute introvert, I was terrified to start sharing ideas publicly.
I procrastinated for so long, out of fear.
But with every post, my confidence has grown and I’ve started to have fun with it.
There have been high and low points.
Most days I ask myself, “what the f*ck am I doing? This is a waste of time.”
But this is what makes a story great - not knowing what will happen next.
🛣️ The Path Forward
In one month, I’ve made so much progress, and I'm excited about what lies ahead.
So far, I have:
- Connected with people from all over the world (London, Nigeria, Canada, etc.)
- Taken the first steps towards starting a business
- Reconnected with old friends
- Started creating digital products (coming soon)
💚 Appreciation 4 YOU
Pretty much all of you reading, at this time, are my immediate friends and family.
I just wanted to take a moment to say:
I’m so thankful for all of you.
I appreciate the support that each of you has given to me.
Let’s create lives we are excited about, together :).
🥦 Food for Thought
Regardless of what you do, I want to leave you with three reminders:
- Take action - start today
- Be grateful for the people around you
- Don’t worry about what others think (be confident in yourself)
🎶 Song of the Week
Greta Van Fleet - The Black Smoke Rises
I’m a little late to the game with Greta Van Fleet, but I love their music nonetheless. One of my friends introduced me to them this week and I’ve had this song on repeat ever since.
There you have it,
The young man's story is still unwritten, but his path has begun to illuminate.
See you next week,
Rocky “Black Smoke” Ferony
