A leap of faith
Figuring out the unknown unknowns
Hello World
Back in December of last year, when I was in Mexico with my wife and friends, relaxing after a year of constant grind, I got into thinking about how my 2026 should look.
Coming from India to the United States back in 2014 to study and work here was a privilege, but over time I have always had this feeling that I want to do something for myself. Being on a visa didn’t help, as it becomes harder and you are always juggling from one job to another. I have been in four jobs, and every time I quit a job on Friday and joined the next one on Monday. I have never had time for myself to think.
But this time in Mexico, as I was thinking about what my 2026 should look like, I decided something. I decided to quit my current job without having a new job and work for myself.
So here I am, taking that leap of faith and starting a new journey. Yes, it feels scary. It will be weird to not have a paycheck in my bank account every two weeks. It will be weird to figure out health insurance. It will be weird to see what my next thing will be. It’s going to be hard and scary.
But I have never been more excited about it. I think this is the real American Dream people talk about. It’s not only about making money, it’s about the freedom to do things you have always wanted to do. Yes, every situation for every person is different, but it’s also about taking that step, taking that leap of faith, getting rid of that fear, and going all in on something.
I don’t have everything planned, which I don’t think anyone has, but I am sure it will be one of the most thrilling experiences of my life. I will look back in 10 years and be proud of myself for taking this step and trying something different.
