I turn 33 today One day closer to the person my 23-year old self was tirelessly grinding for One day closer to financial freedom Countless hours of work most people will never see One day closer to health as the real wealth Earned one hard rep at a time One day closer to building on my own terms I left a stable path to bet on myself One day closer to a life of options Not obligations 33 down Many years to go
