I may not be new to words, but I am a novice when it comes to full-length storytelling. Like anything worthwhile, the hardest part is starting, and the second hardest is staying consistent. But here’s a truth I’ve learned: the greatest diamond heist is self-doubt—it’s the most wanted jewel thief of your future.

I’ve been guilty of analysis paralysis, stuck in my own head. But I’ve come to realize that every moment we live adds another gauge to our 10,000 hours. Everything I’ve picked up along the way—every experience, every lesson—was retained for moments like this.

The best part? I’m now adjusting my vision. No more shots in the dark; I’m bringing my daydreams to life. The nightmare would be going through life and never trying.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. I would love to have some words with you

Sincerly,

Ernst Jacques
