Everybody have an Origin Story, here is mine:

It was 2021, around###-###-#### ,00$ in personal cash reserves. I was living in a###-###-#### people Island in the Indian Ocean, called Nusa lembongan. Here it is how it looks like:

My micro-saas was paying the bills. For the first time ever, i was feeling rich. Everything was under control. I had exactly what i wanted 5 years ago when i was a bad-paid brand new corporate lawyer working 6 days a week with multiple side hustles.

Me 2016: a kid.

Now, we i look backward i see how traumatized, biased, and influenced by conventional rules I was back them... but that another topic, lets go back to the Island...

My days look like this: wake up early in the morning, work for a couple of hours managing our small team and the paid ads campaigns, doing some sales calls and send a couple of emails, then hangout on the island, train, have sex, eat fresh fish and plan 1 or two adventures a week.

One of those adventures was a Transcendental Meditation Course. I had heard that Ray Dalio said the this kind of meditation had been the biggest reason of his success. So i hire a certified instructor:

After completing the course, an unexpected revelation dawned upon me during one practice sessions.

It became apparent that my relationship with work was far from healthy; I had been unconsciously prioritizing the bare minimum effort to fulfill my monetary needs, driven solely by egotistical desires devoid of any moral compass.

This realization, devoid of moral judgment, sparked a profound shift within me. Suddenly, I found myself unwilling to continue optimizing my life merely to minimize my time spent working. Instead, I want to integrate work seamlessly into my existence, to blend productivity with enjoyment, and to harmonize my life with my authentic self.

It was in this moment that I recognized my desire to create was untainted by scarcity or ulterior motives anymore; it had transformed into a pure and genuine pursuit, an end in itself rather than a means to an end.

A couple of months later I decided to end my software journey and start something new. End up the "digital-nomad" kinda life and start a new stage, a fucking epic stage.
