A Kid at Heart
Wednesday, October 14th, 2026. You know, when I was a little kid, right? Uh, especially like uh, on nights, you know, before flying out to go on a holiday, uh, nights before my birthday, nights before Christmas, um, you know, I'd go to sleep.
And then, like, you know, I'd open my eyes. You know, I'd wake up and I'd have this, like, you know, It's not like a tight chest feeling, but it feels like my heart is basically like thumping. You know what I'm saying?
Like it's thumpy with excitement. And, uh, you know, as I kind of, you know, grew up and went into like teenage years, then went into like early adulthood, like, you know, that feeling became completely foreign to me. Like, I just wouldn't wake up, like, you know, like unless it was like something really special, like I'm going to do something, like, maybe I'd get it on a very odd occasion here and then.
And you know, that feeling that I used to wake up with was a feeling, you know, you know, the feeling before, you know, Christmas, before a flight out, before a birthday or whatever. That feeling was something that, you know, I built a connection with, if that makes sense. Like I used to, you know, recognise it was such a good feeling.
It's just that feeling of being excited. And you know, one of the things that I've been wondering and questioning is like, you know, hasn't, you know, you know, now that I'm grown up and I'm an adult, how do I get that feeling back? And how do I get that feeling every day?
Because if I had that feeling every single day, I'd be springing out of bed. I wouldn't even wait. I'd be excited.
I'd be like, yeah, man, you know, thinking to myself about the things I'd be getting up to.
And so, That's what I'm here, like, uh, you know, I'm here to say that, you know, I do actually wake up with that feeling now every single day. And, um, you know, one of the big, big, big reasons for that is because I am effectively prioritising the thing that I want to do over and above pretty much everything else.
Um, and honestly, like it's absolutely amazing. Like going to bed, waking up every single day, knowing that I'm developing something that just basically like, you know, fills me with a great deal of excitement, a great deal of joy. Defeating is irreplaceable if I'm being honest.
And my message to you is this, like, you know, if you're not waking up with that feeling every day. I personally believe in the most, um, you know, humble sense that you are doing yourself a great disservice.
