“I will commence my journey unencumbered with either the weight of unnecessary knowledge or the handicap of meaningless experience.”

The Greatest Salesman in the World, Og Mandino, p. 53

That line has been sticking with me all week. It feels like it was written just for me, right here, right now.

For so long, I carried things that weren’t really mine—conditions I had no choice in as a child, roles I played just to survive, even that strange habit of becoming invisible when life felt too heavy.

Somewhere along the way, that invisibility became my identity. But I don’t want to keep living like that.

Starting this Master Key Experience has already begun to shake things loose.
Honestly, week one wasn’t without its challenges.

I’m still trying to find my rhythm with the reading schedule, and I wrestled with some tech issues that slowed me down.

But the best part?

-Writing my DMP, my Definiteness of Purpose.

That was such a powerful moment. To sit down and really ask myself: What is my big dream for the rest of my life? At 52 that question feels so bold, but also so freeing.

I don’t want to waste time on trivial experiences anymore. I don’t want to fill my days with things that don’t feed my spirit. This journey is about stepping forward unencumbered — lighter, freer, and finally visible.
