Yesterday, I sat at my desk, staring at my laptop, asking myself:
“Can I really do this?”

Maybe I need to learn a bit more.
Maybe I need more time.
Yes, maybe that’s it…

I got hungry, stepped out for a snack, and stopped at a small roadside stall.
At first glance , no one behind it, but then I looked closer.

Two kids. Maybe 10 or 11.
Selling snacks, dealing with rude customers,making money.
Living in uncertainty,and taking action anyway.

My first thought?
“This is child labour, where are their parents?”

Then it hit me.

While we sit, overthinking our next step…
These kids are already out there, hustling, facing the world head-on.

So I bought from them,not just snacks, but belief.
If they can bet on themselves, so can I.

What are you so afraid of?

Somewhere between school and adulthood, we’re taught:
“Comply. Be safe. Don’t argue. Don’t take risks.”

No.

Argue. Hold your ground. Step into uncertainty. Have fun while doing it.

If this reaches even one person who needs it mission complete.
