There It Is — This Was the Goal All Along

When I first came up to Seoul with one suitcase and the one million won my parents had given me,

the view of Gwangmyeong Station in the falling snow is something I still can’t forget.

Fear + excitement + strangeness + anticipation + dreams

so many feelings crossed through me at once.

 

And so I worked at a company, building my skills with no thought for night, day, or weekend,

moved on to a global company, led teams at a major Korean corporation,

and even raised investment to start my own startup.

And the woman I’d loved since before I ever came to Seoul —

I married her, we had a child, and we’re living well.

 

But there’s that one dream I’ve always carried in a corner of my heart.

For someone who has tried everything he ever envied,

it’s the one dream I still haven’t reached.

And that dream is right here in front of me now.

Financial freedom

& a system that earns money even while I sleep

& a business run 100% on my own terms

at 35

 

Which is exactly why even more thoughts come rushing in.

Is it real? Is it really an oasis? How deep does this oasis run? Can I bring my family to this oasis I’ve found? What if, out of nowhere, the oasis dries up and withers next year?
