Current Project Spotlight - 25 in 25: A guide to avoid my mistakes

I've been working on this for over the last 2 years. I've been placed in a mentorship role often and have been recommended to be a motivational speaker, guiding young adults. I've never accepted such accolades out of humility and fear of failure. This was bad. In my reflection journey I realized that I leave a lot of others stranded and open doors wide open for regret every time I let internal wars affect my external actions. This book will not only serve as a testament to myself that I can break through those hurdles, but also as an all encompassing portfolio of my lessons at this stage of my life.

At my age, its obvious that there's a lot I don't know, but there's a lot I do as well. I've decided to break this book into 5 acts of chapters which you can read individually as it speaks to you.

1. Waking Up (identity, agency, and internal framing)

2. Separation (from opinions, social pressure, and manufactured identities)

3. Emotions (lonliness, rejection, connections)

4. Discipline & Direction (your energy, effort, and focus)

5. Optionality & Expansion (career, money, and world views)

My initial goal was to release it on my 25th birthday, but math has it that I'd be one lesson short. I'm meticulously reviewing chapters to ensure that readers receive an intentional, hearty, non-AI generated manuscript of my journey to this date. I hope for nothing more than to help people who need a little push towards meeting the best version of themselves.
