Just think about how many people there are who are happy, make an incredible living, and would answer "absolutely" if they were asked whether they felt blessed or not
Who all started from the same place of picking up a ball one day and choosing to continue playing, improving, committing to the game for the pure love of it. Some ended up being too short to get drafted, some saw injuries take them out of the league, etc
Which paved way for a Brandon Aubrey to exist where God looked at him and said "I recognized your genuine and consistent effort in soccer over the past decade. I know you feel like your future is a bit unclear right now with the lack of results you're seeing, but hey hear me out, there's this other sport called football with a position that requires a strong leg. It's something you never had in your plans but you placed your trust in me and I'm going to rearrange a few things in your life for all of this to make sense soon"
Or the former player turned coach, commentator, advisor, agent, business owner where the clients are former teammates that got into the league, etc. Just dozens upon dozens of similar beginnings turning into unique paths turning into unique situations that ultimately couldn't have ever been predicted
Do the thing that gets you stoked. Don't worry about or try to force the how or when. Focus on the craft and relinquish control over anything outside of the craft. Have faith in God to place you exactly where you are meant to be. Be openminded along the path of wherever He guides you. Don't meddle with that process. You will make it. Always
some of you need to take it easy on whatever it is you’re taking. and call your mom. she worries about you.
what am I looking at here exactly
Marc Andreessen says the gap between what AI-native startups and incumbents think AI can do is the widest he’s ever seen:
"The AI-native early stage startups have just a completely different view on what they can do with AI than the typical incumbents in almost any industry, almost without exception."
"AI is just racing ahead in capability even week by week... There are going to be a lot of industries that are really up for grabs in a fundamentally more profound way than maybe has been the case in the past."
"The founders are gonna have a level of superpowers coming from the use of these tools and these technologies that they just simply haven't had in the past... Had I had Astra and Netscape in 1994, like, oh my God. Like, Ben, what would you and I have been able to do at Netscape?"
"Those entrepreneurs are gonna color way outside the lines. We already see this. They're not gonna think of themselves as like, 'I'm just a software company,' or, 'I'm just a hardware company,' or even, 'I'm just an AI company.'"
