The Blank Canvas Effect

How Life's Biggest Changes Open Doors to Better Choices

In partnership with

Every decision you've ever made led here.

Every "yes."

Every "no."

Every "maybe later."

They built this exact life.

The Blank Canvas

I'm staring at empty space.

And it's forcing me to answer these questions:

Would I choose this same life again?

This city?

This career?

These habits?

These investments?

The Truth Nobody Says

Most of us need permission to change course.

Most of us wait for the perfect moment (or tragedy).

Most of us wait too long.

I now know this all too well.

What I Know Today

Change gets harder the longer you wait.

But it's never too late.

And you don't need a disaster to start over.

The Real Question

We ask "What if it doesn't work?"

When we should ask:

"What if everything you want is on the other side of this decision?"

Your Move

You already have a blank canvas.

It's called today.

Start painting.

PS: After losing our home in the wildfires two weeks ago, my wife and I decided against creating a GoFundMe or sharing an Amazon wishlist. We evacuated with a large suitcase and a backpack each. Right now we have what we need. Primarily each other. However, our twins want to be proactive and raise money to replace their piggy banks, book collection, bikes, and donate to help rebuild their school. They’re doing this through an old-fashioned "LemonAID" stand. If you'd like to support their initiative, learn more HERE.
