I caught myself almost doing what everyone else is doing.
The tactic where the person goes ahead to tell a touching story (we are all aware of the power of stories now), but really, it’s an invitation to buy something.
Or is that what I’m doing right now, intentionally… or unintentionally?
Who knows… Hopefully, the right person can discern correctly.

Initially, when I embarked on this journey, as unclear as things were, one thing was clear: I wanted to make a difference.
I’ve been at a point in my life where money wasn’t a problem at all, I had it coming from different sources, but still felt empty.
I wanted to do something more, something that matters beyond the payment notification… Something that matters beyond my existence.
Feels like that has been coming with too many side quests.
The unlimited learning and unlearning (which I’m enjoying by the way).
Inner and outer work…
Human drama.
Urgent needs and wants.
And the mind games that, thank Jesus, are in control now.
..
I don’t want to feel like another vendor, although there’s nothing to be ashamed of about needing to sell your services. People need to make a living.
But I just don’t want that to become my entire identity. I don’t want to feel like I’m performing.
I’m experimenting and trying to develop a better way to go about marketing. But as fun as that sounds, the seeming realities make it feel like a huge risk.
At least right now…
But the thing is, when I think about the talent drowning in noise and the pressure to survive, it makes me wonder, if not now…
When?
