hey you, mau here...

i'm sitting here in my "reg" cafe spot i've been coming to in bali. and I just realized...

I think I have officially stepped into flow.

it took just a little over 1 month

literally around this time in June, I was sitting at a cafe in Austin - planning out the next few months of my life. I knew I needed to make some big moves. but honestly... i was scared shitless.

I split it up into 3 phases

phase 1 was -

• launch/fill cohort
• start posting daily reels
• move to bali

I have officially completed this… and now, I'm moving on to phase 2.

and what I've realized from doing this a few times now, is that:

this initial phase is ALWAYS the hardest. it comes with the most uncertainty, fear, and doubt. but after you jump… things start to get easier.

it's like when you're standing on the edge of the diving board working up the courage to jump…

it's scary AF!

but you know what happens when you do, right?

you realize:

oh, this ain't so bad! in fact, it's kind of fun!

so you run back onto the diving board… and this time – it's not as hard to jump.

then before you know it, you're doing fucking backflips n' shit into the water.

life works the same way.

it's always scariest right before you jump into anything new.

but once you finally take the leap, things start to flow.

of course, fear doesn't ever go away…

you just KNOW (from first-hand experience) that it's actually not that bad when you jump – and the water catches you when you fall.

and this experiment is confirmation of this.

1 month ago, I was standing at the edge, gauging the height, questioning, doubting, lowkey terrified…

but i took the leap anyways.

now, i'm in bali, my cohort is filled (the energy in there is fucking electric), and i'm making new connections here by simply showing up and being myself.

so not only was I caught, but there's also forces bigger than me that are conspiring in my favor (which I can't even see).

so no.

things DON'T happen overnight.

but they do happen faster than you think…

so, what are you waiting for?

take the leap, my friend

and watch how life catches you when you do.

much love

mau
