A bias toward action

Save for later

Lately…I’ve been in a rut. Let me explain: - 2023 Laid off from my remote cushy job. - 2024 Rejected from every software engineer interview. Huge identity shift. Ruminating negative thoughts. Scarcity Mindset. DEATH OF MY EGO. - 2025 I want to be a YouTuber… found out I don’t like it as much, but learned valuable skills in content creation. - March 2025, Rejuvenated with courage and enthusiasm towards AI engineering and solo founder mentality. Building a micro SaaS business to solve pain points for users. . . . So what changed? From somewhat depressive mood to now excitement . I had a bias towards action. I stayed disciplined with my diet, sleep and fitness. I went from 170 lbs in 2024 to now 163 (my happy weight). It’s that simple, whatever you are going through, just fucking take massive action and set deadlines. I learned that vague goals and vague deadlines are not worth my time. This year I’m going to be investing my time into things that excite me, such as, sports betting with ai and experimenting with ai for a variety of apps.
