To say a lot in few words, that is a power I admire.
A lot has happened in a few months, a lot more is about to happen.
You will read a lot from this newsletter — you will find out why tomorrow when you subscribe to the podcast.
Also, I am building an actual Newsletter format. It’s still rough on the edges, but I like how it looks already. Away we go…

What I’m Working On
Acquiring new skills, reducing consumption.
In a nutshell, I want to heighten by bias towards action and creation. I want to increase my income. This means I need to provide value. This means I need to build a valuable skill. This means I need to humble myself and work on proficiency if not mastery.
As a result, I have to make more time to read books, take courses and measure my progress all while documenting it.
I now publish daily on Medium with snippets of thoughts and progress.
What I’m Thinking
We’re a lot more in control of how we react to life than we admit to ourselves. We hand over power to spouses, the government and even, *gasp* to God.
Yes, He is in control of everything. But remember the time when we got free will? When we got the ability to choose between being naked and wearing clothes?
That’s control too. That is choice.
I’m thinking about how much choice I’ve had all along. How I have been able to wake up consistently at 4 am ever since I made up my mind to do it two weeks ago.
How waking up early can lead to more time, if you know what you’ll do when you wake up.
Maybe I’ll write about it. I don’t know. Let’s see what happens on Day 30.
What I Made
Since you’re on this Newsletter, you receive Friend Links from my Medium Articles. This means you don’t have to be a paying member to read my stories which are behind the paywall. I get paid based on the interaction of Members with my stories.
However, when you click on the links here from a computer and read, you can clap, highlight and interact with the stories. Although that interaction will not translate to money, it boosts the possibility that my story will get more views. If you can also share the ones you enjoy on your Socials, that would grow my audience and chances of winning bigly. Can you do me a favor and clap on them?

You may or may not know that this happened. The video captures me trying to make sense of it all.
What Inspired Me
Hands-down, this article by Daniel Bourke lit a fire. Read for yourself. You can also hear me expand on my thought process after this article in the podcast above.

Grateful For…
Mis Williams made a YouTube video where she talked about Cameroonian YouTubers she’d like to meet in real life and why. I thought that was really awesome and I felt a surge of pure happiness watching someone describe me that way. You can watch here.
