Love this Jack, saw you had posted this in Write of Passage and had to come check it out. It's wonderfully practical AND inspiring. You are taking action and living the big questions of your life. Incredible.

This is huge: Fear of complacency. Fear of the person I would become and the life I would create if I took the easy path. Fear of becoming filled with regret and resentful of my younger self. Fear of accepting a job I don’t love thinking “There’s no other option, what else am I gonna do?”

Big fan of the starred boxes in the pictures too: "What experiences am I optimizing for in the 24th and 25th years of my life? What experiences must I have here now or risk the change of not having?"

You're wise, man. You already know you have opportunities or windows of opportunity now that you may not get again and you're acting on them (for fear of what may happen if you don't). Fantastic stuff!

I love the comments on fear. One of my mentors said that if you use fear as a cue for action for 3 months, you'll be unstoppable.

So cool you went to Prague too! That's an unreal city. So cool to hear about all these adventures!
