Thanksgiving: Grateful for this

 
Hey, it's Ben.
 
Happy Thanksgiving weekend to the Canadian folks. (And a very early one to my American folks who don't celebrate Thanksgiving until just before Christmas lol)
 
On the note of giving thanks I had a throwback the other day that made me pause for a sec.
 
I was searching through my notes app the other day for something and I stumbled across this list from the Fall of 2020.
List from 2020
At the time I felt very lost and unsure what to do with my life and I was doing a writing exercise from this book to try and find my way.
 
And I ended up doing a lot of different stuff before starting this brand (story for another time).
 
I was running away from things I dreaded but also running towards things I loved.
 
It was very much not a straight line but I kept zig zagging towards the north star of creative entrepreneurship.
 
A lot has changed in 5 years and the zig zagging still continues but with more purpose and trust then ever before.

If you want to do something or build something, I implore you to go after it.
 
Your soul needs it, the world needs it, and God badly wants it.
 
I'm so grateful for what God has done in my life.
 
There is still so much to do, but I realize that those times when I was lost led me to find the stuff that I needed to do in this world.
 
And one of those things was starting this brand.
 
So if you're lost right now, keep going.
 
Seek and you will find.

Keep learning, keep questioning, keep growing.

Do not give into discouragement.
 
God will use your struggles for his greater glory.
 
I'm grateful for all of you who support this mission and are a part of the Tallowed Truth.
 
Thanks for being a part of this and happy Canadian Thanksgiving,
 
Ben
