Am I Fool? A Personal Journey

Dear subscribers, Charlie here,

I want to share something personal this week, hoping it might resonate with many of you.

Launching my company, HAPPY, fills me with many emotions: excitement, hope, and, sometimes admittedly, a heavy dose of self-doubt. There are days when I question my journey, moments when I feel out of my depth, and times when imposter syndrome kicks in, and I feel frozen in my progress. The thought that crosses my mind is, "Am I a fool to be chasing this dream?"

But here's a piece of advice I’ve come to value:
When you’re driven by something you genuinely care about, never let the fear of looking foolish hold you back. True success and happiness come from internal passion and not from external validation. Don’t be swayed by other people’s judgments. Instead, remember that the most significant breakthroughs happen when you’re willing to take risks, even if it sometimes means being misunderstood.

Thank you for subscribing to my newsletter! I strive to keep HAPPY as engaging and insightful as possible, week after week.

Share HAPPY with your family, friends, and colleagues, and together, let's turn everyday challenges into opportunities for growth and happiness.
