Good Morning Friends!

I trust you're well. Today marks 5 years since I started this project, and in that regard, adds to the significance of today's letter.

It all started with an old Mac, a headset, and a desire to share. This project has given me more than I could have imagined, and then some more. I never thought I'd connect with so many people around the world. Nor reach the depths of creativity I have. I'm saying this through pure joy, yet I'll never be able to put a price on the messages I've received from people.

But it's time to close via a heavy heart but one bursting with pride. It's goodbye, for now, but know that nothing has changed. Creativity continues forever, just in different ways. Ways I don't even know what they look like yet. But inspired, I feel somewhat at the start of my journey rather than the end. I re-read notes from 2019/2020 and realise nothing internally has changed in the most pleasing way possible. All I've done is clarify those values. This may be the end of the line for the Self Improvement Project, but it will be significant in anything that comes in the future.

Know that this will always be here - all 300+ episodes and 260+ letters. They'll never be deleted or removed. These lessons and thoughts should be readily timeless yet timely. It's one of the things that drove me to create in the way I did. I have immense pride in all the work.

Ironically, one of the reasons for change is that I'm living fully. All roads have led to this. And as I've delved in, I've realised I need to drop this project off at the side of the road. If anything, I like to think I've planted a tree. The realisations through this project have brought us to this moment. I'll hopefully return back up this road to see the tree that has grown.

I think I'd like to end with some encouragement. For you to pursue something beyond yourself that feels truly you, and enjoy everything that comes your way as a result. You'll get more out of it than you will expect, but best not expect anything at all. It becomes a path of serendipity especially if you're putting stuff out into the world to make it better. Don't think of things as ending, think of it as evolution. There is excitement in the unknown. This can allow you to live more fully.

My role in life has changed for now, and it's time for me to serve that version to my best ability. Like I've done with this project over the years.

If you ever want to write with updates or questions, know I'll always be here. Otherwise, thank you. I won't be able to express in words the gratitude I have for the most simple yet meaningful messages that have come from this project.

Go out and live

Best,

Lawrence
