But before I get to that, I want to congratulate you.
You're inside of one of the most valuable newsletters on the planet.
That Makes You Super Valuable.
(pats on back)
It's a fact that what you read changes your brain and your behavior.
So just a reminder...
WHEN YOU READ THESE LETTERS....
You Become An Upgraded Version of Yourself
Awesome, right?
YES!
It's True... I Spent Over 3,000 Hours on One Drawing...
...it took me over 3 years to complete.
Here's What Happened...
It was 2016 and I had experienced quite possibly the worst break up of my life.
In fact... I had overcame some suicidal visions that...
Had I acted on, I would no longer be here.
I figured that if I could create a plan for my death, follow it fully and execute THAT.
I Could Accomplish Anything I Wanted.
So I made my real life vision, I decided that was far better than ending my life.
I could make it so good, I would laugh one day about this.
Anyway... I packed my stuff, quit my job and moved to Denver where I initiated the thumbnail.
(My book needed a cover)
The thumbnails and studies were all the drawing I did in 2016.
I spent the majority of my time studying my online marketing machine.
(I even tried to rid myself of sleep)
IT DIDN'T WORK BTW haha
But that's what happens when you love what you do.
When I moved back to Idaho I began my full size studies.
I made two MASSIVE drawings.
And two insane things happened.
- I became conscious of how we turn anger into positive out put
- I became hyper aware of how energy becomes things
I spent at least one year alone on these studies and breaking my book apart.
I put it on my walls, on the whiteboard...
Anywhere But Leaving It In My Head
I had vivid dreams every single night.
You could say I wrote my book in my sleep and it would be accurate.
I was writing my book from the drawings.
Drawing is the psyche in physical form, they spoke to me.
I tap danced from my bed in the morning and I wouldn't waste one second getting to work.
And I Didn't Stop Until 6am The Next Day
This went on nearly everyday for 6 months.
The next year and a half I lived in Boise, where I would finally publish
and complete my final drawing.
I remember putting the final marks down and thinking...
"I can't anymore. I have to call it complete."
I Literally Couldn't Do It Anymore
To this day... it's still incomplete because...
I Myself Am Incomplete.
...A Work In Progress, Something that Will Never Truly Be Complete Until Death
A true work of art... Just Like You.
Like My Masterpiece...
You still have work to be done.
You must be created with zeal, love, urgency and most of all....
COMMITMENT TO YOUR FULL POTENTIAL
We Don't Settle In Here, We THRIVE
We GROW
We BUILD
and We Surprise, Shock and AWE everyone around us.
Just Like that Drawing Does Today.
It makes people break out into tears of joy.
But Only In Person (to my knowledge)
And THAT is success.
Imagine that.
Peace.
