Attract, Don’t Chase
During my teens, I began reading and working out. By my senior year of high school, I was always carrying a book, reading wherever I could. Around the same time, I started working out, laying the foundation for discipline and confidence.
In my early college days, I immersed myself in self-improvement. Fortunately, my curiosity aligned with my career aspirations, which naturally made me career-focused. Reading equipped me with the tools for self-education, and working out instilled the discipline to follow through.
I also began prioritizing nutrition—experimenting with intermittent fasting and counting calories to better understand what I was putting into my body.
I introduced meditation and morning journaling into my routine. Writing became a daily habit, and I worked to refine that skill.
Since then, I’ve attracted an abundance of goodwill into my life. I’ve built a high-level circle of smart, kind, and ambitious friends. Opportunities and meaningful connections continue to come my way—not because I chased them, but because I became the kind of person who naturally attracts them.
The goal was never about chasing. It was about becoming who I wanted to be: Someone I’d want to hire. Someone I’d want to be friends with. Someone I’d want to date.
Focus on yourself first, and the rest will follow.
