As I sit here writing my first blog post, all I can think about is how I'm fighting a daily battle to save my life. Everyday, I'm fighting to save myself from a life of regret, complacency, and the false hope that security lies in the comfort of monetary possessions. I can tell you that the space between walking away from a conventional life and moving towards an authentic lifestyle is filled with a wild mix of emotions.
For too long, I have been your typical business-driven individual that truly thought happiness comes from a perfected marriage and mortgage in the right part of town. So, I built that life. I spent the last 5 years building "safety nets" in the forms of education, a low key All-American lifestyle and what would be considered the right kind of business contacts for the years to come. In my mind, I had accomplished so many successes and had just about everything I had ever dreamed of.
But I just left it all. Almost everything, in the name of authenticity and truth.
While I'm not completely sure where I'll end up through this process, I just know that there's something inside me that says to move. To follow this authenticity that I've kept quiet for too long and to live a full adventurous life. To inspire others, to share my journey and grow into the individual that I'm meant to become. That's why I'm here, that's exactly why I'm writing this blog post today, and it's the very reason that I feel so strongly that I'm about to embark on an incredible journey.
I guess you could say I'm on a personal mission of sorts. It's one that I'd like to utilize as a way to reflect the core of my being and the desire to help others improve their lives, be it through my own experience or interactions with others. Because at one point or another, I am sure that we have all experienced that voice inside that knows all too intimately our true calling. It's the voice of reason that feeds our intuition, our passions, and there's no question that it often gets silenced by the day to day norms of society or by the pursuit of what we think our life paths should look like.
I know that I have a long history of mistakes and triumph, but the one thing that's always there when everything else goes quiet is this drive to inspire others, to let them know that they are worthy, capable, and that it's okay to live your fullest authentic life. It's alright to be different, to seek out what really makes you happy and most importantly - to advocate for your life. For me, it's all about immersing myself into the things that I'm most passionate about - Motorcycles, Music, Adventure, and finding a way to be of service to others. It's about jumping out of my own comfort zone, and utilizing my current skill sets and experiences to make a positive impact on all different walks of life.
My hope is that you'll share in my journey, regardless of where you are in your own personal life path - through the discovery of your complete potential, the examination of your passions, and through the realization of how you too can inspire and improve the lives of those around you - Because regardless of our backgrounds, our professions or our personal stories of defeat, we all have a life worth saving.
