On July 3, 2020, I sent the first email of this newsletter. Five years flew by. Mind-blowing.
Except for the beginning of full-scale war, my dear readers got a new article every day. How? Willpower? Responsibility? Profit? Discipline? Only partly.
It’s more of an illustration of where curiosity can lead. The deeper I went, the more the ritual hooked me: push tasks aside, pour coffee, stare at a blank screen.
At first, I feared ideas would dry up. I panicked a couple of times. But the Process taught me that emptiness, like Arctic ice, hides a bottomless ocean holding everything we need.
This newsletter does many things. It’s a journal of insights, a meditation, a quest for meaning, a way to learn and teach. By the way, I’d love to hear what value it brings you.
Some readers joined recently, others have been with me almost from day one. It’s known that a journey changes travelers; it pulls them out of their usual world.
Something like that happened to us. This newsletter is unique—it’s for those who have heard the inner call for change and are ready to move from one level to another.
We’re already members of the “In-between” club. Wise ancestors knew that lingering in that liminal space is uncomfortable, but that’s where deep beliefs shift, sparking the fiercest growth.
Thanks to you, I know I’m not alone—thousands of “weird” folks like us are scattered in the millions-strong crowd. This newsletter links us, and for that, I’m deeply grateful.
Recently, Jonathan Stark interviewed me about why I write daily. Jonathan is a renowned consultant, podcast host, and author of a popular newsletter. His newsletter inspired mine, and I owe him a lot for that.
I don’t know what the next chapter holds—the future is uncertain. But writing to you taught me to take a step of faith into the unknown. And each time, in that scary void, I found my footing.
So, hold fast and full speed ahead!
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
