Hello, 

Today has been great. Mostly because I decided to go with "systems over goals." 

For a great period of time I have been at war with myself regarding committing to a project. I felt that I need to commit to one project and that I can't change later. So I would constantly talk with myself and never come to the conclusion which project should I start. But never starting. 

I was equally interested in bringing value back to others through the work I have done with psychedelics, spirituality and shamanism. While also having intense curiosity for tech and business. 

So then I decided that I will pursue systems over goals. So I would not focus on a specific goal but pushing this project forward and pursuing my inner bliss. I don't know my bliss yet but I feel like I'm getting closer.

So today for the past week I've been giving myself a non judging window into just playing around with my idea about spirituality and how to bring it back to the people. So what I've come up with is that I will give myself 2-4 hours every day to push forward this project idea about spirituality and this vision that I have. 

So what Im left is my vision and my desire to have conversations with other founders about spirituality and business. Ideally building a long-term network of friends and acquaintances to whom I can be a spiritual root and guide. While also having ceremonies and just enjoying life. Kind of having this vision for being a modern Tony Robbins? Maybe. 

It also feels like I've taken the expectations away and it all became easier. 

So I'm starting multiple projects today to push this vision forward:

After writing this newsletter I will go back to editing code on github for my homepage https://alanpafka.com, coming up with product ideas and just living my life. 

Today I lifted weights and did pull ups, took my dogs to the forest and worked on my projects. 

So maybe this is just like a habit I started to share what I'm up to. Let see where this takes us.
