Depth is where I meet myself

To: Matthew

Congratulations. You've turned an immense feeling of uncertainty and existential dread into a turning point.

For years, you've felt fragmented—a collection of separate interests, roles, and curiosities. You carried them all, but they never fully felt like you.

Then, something unexpected cracked you open: diving.

On Koh Tao, you took a SCUBA course. Then another. Soon, diving found its way into your daily thoughts, your travels, and your life. But it made you start wondering: Is this something real? Is this an escape? Why do I like it so much?

As always, the universe didn't hand you an answer. But it did hand you better questions. And by exploring them, you uncovered a stronger compass for yourself:

  • Vision
    A world rich with joyful, clear, and connected exploration.
  • Purpose
    I open up the world by helping people (including myself) explore, connect, and grow.
  • Decision Filter
    Does it help me or others explore, connect, or find clarity?
    If yes => yes.
    If no => let it go.
  • Mantra
    In every depth, I find my whole self.

~~~

Why does this connect you? Because it integrates core aspects of your identity: curiosity, adventure, mastery, systems thinking, languages, and more.

Diving is teaching you more than how to breathe underwater. It's giving you a new way to explore the world, navigate complexity, and feel whole.

You see it now. The legacy you want to leave is to open doors to new worlds, make the complex navigable, and inspire others to explore with confidence and clarity.

Looking forward to what you do next.

Love, Matthew

To you, reading this

Maybe yours isn't 30 meters down or with a SCUBA tank on your back. Maybe it's an unread book. Or an awkward conversation. Or something that scares you.

The point isn't how deep you go. It's that you go.

So... what's calling you deeper?
