When You Feel Lost, Find Your Heroes

05 Apr 2026 #selfgrowth

In 2023, after burning out, I felt completely lost.

A daily wellness routine to care for my body, mind, and spirit saved me. That simple idea changed my life. I still follow it today. No excuses.

Inspiring people helped my burnout recovery. Hearing and reading how others got back up truly helped.

That proved me it was possible to feel good after burnout. Getting out of bed just felt hard.

Instead of doomscrolling, I filled my days reading from:

• James Altucher and his bankrupt stories
• Dan Koe and his “you’re the niche” idea
• Borja Vilaseca and his self-discovery after a suicide attempt

I looked up to them.

More recently, I’ve added Seth Godin and Derek Sivers.

They had something in common:

• Reinvention
• Living on their own terms
• “Eating what they hunt”
• Writing
• Books

Now that I stop to think about it, that’s the path I’m trying to follow today.

When lost, find the thread between your heroes.
