I’d like us to take a brief journey together.
Set aside all distractions for a moment, and let’s begin.
This morning when you woke up, was your mind racing with plans, thoughts and concerns? Were you reminded of all the to-do items left unfinished? Do you spend late nights reliving certain moments, wondering what others thought of you or what you should have done differently? Does the awareness of your anxiety add to your stress? Do you remember the last time you truly felt calm and in control?
Everything about modern society feels like it was designed to be an obstacle to experiencing peace of mind. Too often, our life hampers our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Academic success, personal possessions, money, and fame are ranked so much higher than having an inner sense of peace, contentment, and well-being. Most of us were not taught about our emotions, nor did we learn how to handle them, or how they make us powerful. We were not shown how to achieve mindfulness.
I found myself longing for a true connection with my mind, soul, and body. There are few things in the world that are more disconcerting than living a life you weren’t meant to live, it gnaws away at you constantly. The only silver lining is that negative emotions signal our unmet needs, and that is where you can transform your life for good. Just like the sensation of pain signals a problem that needs immediate attention, these restless thoughts call to us when we are moving in a direction away from our truth. On the other hand, positive emotions point to what feeds our spirit.
1. You are Built to THRIVE
Through my journey, I’ve come to understand and appreciate the indelible power of the human spirit to find truth, to heal, to gain a sense of purpose and to rise above life’s challenges. This is what I call thriving.
Your life does not need to be a mundane set of goals and tasks, your existence does not need to be centered around pleasing everyone else. Many of us mistakenly believe that if we just conform well enough to what others expect from us, we will find the sense of peace and security that we so desperately need. Sadly, the price you pay for not living an authentic life can be very high indeed. It can result in physical illness, chronic pain, depression, dissatisfaction, and anxiety.
Don’t let that be you. You are built to THRIVE.
Your life can be a technicolor, bold, audacious joyride! And no matter what you’ve been through, no matter what life has thrown your way, the body and the mind are SO much more resilient and tenacious and powerful than we give them credit for.
With the right tools and the right understanding, you can not only heal and transform anything, you can actually recreate your body, your mind, your life ~ to be far more magical, far more soul-satisfying, far more creative, inspired and connected, than you ever imagined possible.
2. You are Destined for Authentic, Extraordinary Living
The word “authentic” is of Latin and Greek origin, and it means “coming from the author” or “one who acts independently.”
This means that authentic living relies on YOU being the author of your life. You can trust your authentic inner voice with the assurance that nobody or nothing can give you truer answers than the ones you find within. There can be no permanent peace of mind without an awareness of oneself as unique and authentic.
Your mindset can make the intangible… tangible. It can make the impossible… possible. You can live boldly and authentically. What truly excites me most is feeling and experiencing life, and exploring what helps us feel alive. To live authentically is to become fully alive, and truly experience this amazing (however long or brief) chapter we have on this planet. It’s about seeing beyond the present reality, and learning the secrets to getting out of your way and busting through those invisible glass ceilings and walls that have held you back from everything you desire. It’s about optimizing your well-being and courageously challenging your comfort zones to create a life of awe, purpose, meaning and freedom.
3. Is this YOUR path?
The world is more than just a marketplace, and life is more than just a set of accomplishments. I believe that there are people who see life has a tapestry, a grand celebration of what it means to be human. To them, life is like poetry, and they are the poets – finding beauty in the ordinary, and hope in the mire. And they don’t just have life, they LIVE life. They marvel at every ounce of it, the joys, the sensualities, the pleasures, and the preservation of it.
This is your path if you’re a dreamer, a change-maker, and a world-changer. You care deeply about living with purpose and passion, in a way that not only makes the world a better place, but elevates you to the highest version of yourself. This is your path if you’re looking for a portal into greater freedom. This journey is one filled with adventure and wellness, with a conscious twist! It’s about liberating those who are going to have the domino effect of liberating the world. It’s about finding the sacred in everyday life, and creating a bigger life.
A life by design.
A bold, audacious life.
4. Who am I and how am I qualified to help you create your version of an “extraordinary” life of more aliveness, adventure and freedom?
In my personal quest for extraordinary life, I’ve reinvented myself over and over again. I’m a Blackhawk Helicopter Pilot
A functional Medicine Practitioner
An adventure travel guide and human potential coach
I’ve been through the fire to understand how to thrive in the midst of life’s darkest chapters. I believe it takes courage, wisdom and commitment to thrive in the 21st century, because we must be willing to do what 99% of the western world are unwilling to do. But at the end of the day, I’m an explorer of the human heart.
