My Journey

It all started with a feeling that something was wrong with me. So I tried to fix myself.

That didn’t work.

What I’m doing is far from “revolutionary” but I don’t think it needs to be.

I DECIDED TO RETHINK MY APPROACH TO LIFE WHEN I BEGAN FEELING DISILLUSIONED BY SELF-HELP. IT DID NOTHING TO CHANGE MY SELF-JUDGEMENT.

Then it occurred to me: what if I stopped treating myself like a problem to be solved?

What am I doing and why am I doing it?

I’m drawn to explore my internal world. This, I think, is the source of everything. And it’s easy to forget that because it’s so easy to think that the solutions can be found on the outside – a better workflow, a better routine, a bigger accomplishment.

I achieved everything I wanted and realized it didn’t change how I saw myself. That’s how I realized the answers I was looking for cannot be found “out there.”

AMOR FATI

This is the phrase I use to capture the ethos of everything that I do.

It’s Latin for "love of fate" or "love of one's fate" and the way I interpret it is: a love for everything that happens to you. There is no good or bad, those are just subjective labels we place on things, based on how they make us feel.

And what if we were to enthusiastically accept everything that happens? What a different way to approach things. Suddenly life is a series of opportunities to learn things and peel back the layers.
