Happy Friday Reader!
​
Sometimes the world tells you to stay in your lane, but deep down you know you’ve outgrown it. If you’ve been second-guessing yourself, craving change, or feeling like the “safe” path is actually the riskiest one - you might already be ready.

Here are 3️⃣ clear signs it’s time to stop waiting for permission and start rewriting the rules on your own terms:

  1. You feel restless, even when things look “good” on paper. That quiet itch isn’t boredom - it’s your intuition telling you there’s more.
  2. You can’t stop imagining a different life. Daydreaming turns into planning, and planning turns into action.
  3. Fear and excitement show up together. If your next step feels terrifying and exhilarating, that’s a powerful clue you’re heading the right way.

If any of these hit home, take it as your sign: the pivot isn’t reckless - it’s necessary. And if you’re ready to explore what living differently could look like for you, grab our FREE guide.

This week on Flying Upstream, we’re pulling back the curtain on a story most of us dream about: winning the lottery. Our guest, Peter John Mather, lived the fantasy—he became a millionaire at a young age. But what followed wasn’t a fairy tale.
