the life you've yet got to live
|
Hey! I'm turning 40 years old in May. You're invited to the party. My oldest child turns 8 in April. That means I've been a father for 8 years! So much has happened in the last 8 years. A journey of becoming and unbecoming. And I keep noticing something... There's this thing in the future that I'm "saving myself" for. That somehow in the future things will be different. Somehow in the future, I'll be more happy. Or I'll be more alive. Or I'll be more expressive. Or I'll be more and better than today. I'll have more love, more clarity, more magic. I'll have no suffering, no limitations, no bullshit. This thing that I'm saving myself for is the life I've yet to live. Something in the distant future, not here or now. But, what about here and now? Why can't I be that version of myself here and now? What is stopping me? The answer is not out there in a distant future. The answer is right here and now. What is happening that you're not experiencing all the love, all the richness, the magic, aliveness you know is possible? The answer is in your feelings. Your feelings are a direct connection to your purpose. With what you truly love and care about. You can't think your way to your feelings. Thinking is not feeling. What is stopping you from living today as if it's the last day you'll live in planet Earth? What does that life you've yet got to live look like? What is in it? Who are you? Who are you not? This is useful information. This is your doorway. Write it all down in your beep!book. Ask someone from your team to hold space for you to process what comes up. Little by little. One by one. You'll start removing the walls... the mechanisms... the layers and layers... that you've built around your heart to not feel the pain of wanting what you want. Will you do it? Nobody can or will do it for you. Nobody can stop you from doing it. You're not alone. Love, P.S.1: If you want to work with me in learning how to navigate your feelings, Mad, Sad, Glad and Scared, in practicing, creating distinctions between your feelings and emotions so that you can heal, removing blockages, and navigating spaces to create extraordinary collaboration with other human beings... Reply “teamwork” to this email and I'll send you what my team and I are cooking. P.S.2: Also, if you’re in Vancouver Island, join the Village Heartbeat to go deeper with a group in person to have these deep conversations and source possibilities for each other. P.S.3: ALSO, Expand The Box training is coming to BC, Canada May 30th to Jun 3rd. Are you ready to take the next step evolutionary step to source village? conscious parenting? collaborative communication? purposeful aligned living? Join this transformative 5-day immersive training to get the tools and skills we need to source the village it takes to raise our children. |

I've been listening to the audiobook Grandfather from Tom Brown Jr. This book, narrated by the author, is a gem for those seeking for answers about: ~ The role of human beings on Earth ~ What did it look like in north america before and while modern culture started taking over? ~ How is survival and living connected? ~ Are human beings a life taking parasite species? ~ What is really going on beyond what we were taught in school? ~ How do I live my vision and purpose? In the book, Grandfather...
10 years ago my heart shattered about life. The biggness of the world. My belonging in this world. The cruelty of human beings. The level of numbness that human beings use to survive in this world. Humans exploiting life, animals, plants and other human beings. The robotic way of spending a whole life working to make somebody else rich. The frantic zombie-like chase of money and success. I didn't know then, but I was grieving. A grief that was bigger than my being. An ancient grief that...
It’s May 20th. Today is my birthday, and I want to celebrate it this morning by writing in this space. For me, this writing space is about being at my edge. It’s also about sharing what I’ve been discovering and making invitations to be, play and work together. This week, I’ve been discovering how much of my orientation is about controlling what others think of me. The sensation is that I walk around not looking through my own eyes, but through the eyes of others looking back at me. It’s...
