Consumer. That’s what you are.
You consume more than you create.
I’m not even talking about mindless scrolling on social media.
You’re smart enough to know how unproductive that is.
No, I’m talking about reading.
You feel productive — unproductively productive.
In fact, you often know it all, but it feels damn good to be validated…
again…
and again…
and again.
Reading is an escape and a HACK.
The cheapest way to travel,
and the easiest way to access the greatest minds of all time.
Lifetimes of wisdom condensed into a couple of days.
What a privilege to be alive.
Too much of it though, it’s starting to bother you.
You read, but you don’t feel complete.
The more you read, the more itches you find yourself wanting to scratch.
That my friend, is your future self tapping you.
“TF are you doing with all this knowledge and no action?”
Days go by, and your learning turns to ashes.
You reread at some point.
But does that add at all?
If what you consume doesn’t stick or turn into any result, what good is it?
You’ve reached a breaking point.
The endless cycle of consuming without creating has to end.
Can’t rely on hoarding and potential. We must act.
A year ago, I bought a one-way ticket to seek healing, growth, and meaning.
And I did.
Now, I want something more.
I realised I couldn’t just keep reading, seeking, and learning.
My journey wasn’t about just finding purpose—it was about creating it.
More writing, sharing, teaching, building, creating – than consuming.
Hence – you’re reading this.
Guess what? I feel 10x happier and complete after I hit that publish.
It’s like sweating after an intense workout. What a RELEASE.
What about you?
Are you ready to consume less and create more?
Your future self is waiting.
