Hi X,
This is a huge plea to the universe.
I have grown up watching Messi since I was 11 years old. He's the entire reason I started playing football and every single person in my life knows what football means to me.
It's been one of my biggest dreams to watch him play in real life.
My only other childhood dream was to visit the United States of America.
And I kid you not, I finally got to visit New York for the first time in my life literally 3 days ago for some work.
It literally can't be a coincidence that Messi is playing the World Cup final in the very city I've dreamed of visiting since I was five, and I finally made it here just three days ago.
God wants me to watch this final. I truly, truly believe that with all my heart.
So here goes my plea: I really really hope this goes viral enough to reach someone who can sponsor my ticket. Or at the very least, someone who bought the ticket at a lower price but can no longer go because of a different commitment.
They say "When you want something with all your heart, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
I hope this comes true.
Thanks : )
reminder to shoot your shot.
start your thing.
dm that founder.
apply for that job.
write that tweet.
ask that person out.
you have very little to lose.
and potentially everything to gain.
the expected value is overwhelmingly positive.
most people don’t miss opportunities because they weren’t good enough.
they miss them because they never took the shot.
serendipity rarely finds people who never put themselves in its path.
go for it, thank me later.
The lazier you are, the more hard-working early in life you should aim to be, a chill life rooted in freedom is the reward for being early, diligent, and right.
Having extremely high standards for yourself, keeping them private, and focusing on manifesting them in your daily life: that's what most people call "good luck."
In 1697, Isaac Newton received Jean Bernoulli's 6 month time-limit to solve the problem of the brachistochrone. Newton got the message on 29th Jan and solved the problem the same night before going to bed.
Your entire life will change when you realize that anything above zero compounds. That showing up consistently matters more than showing up perfectly. That small things become big things. Never allow optimal to get in the way of beneficial.
