The Hill to Die On: Your Self
Surrounded by Love and Mirrors in Pursuit of my Dharma
The Ultimate Gift
This keeps coming to mind…
…the ultimate gift is to live the life we came here to live.
It’s on my mind because this is what I am working on. (The idea coalesced in a conversation with Mark Groves - thanks brother).
I did not come here to fuck around.
I came to get the full experience.
I bought the ticket, I am on the ride.
I want to feel it.
I want to live my Dharma.
Path of Contribution
Dharma (Sanskrit) means right action, natural order, or your unique path of contribution.
My Dharma, and this is subject to change, can be described in a couple ways*:
To be a guide who helps people find direction.
To provide guidance through lived experience. Helping individuals and groups find their direction by being radically honest about my own journey.
I am building a coaching business and writing a bunch.
And I love it.
Everything Everywhere All at Once
I am all in.
Professional transition.
Wife wrapped up her business.
Kids leaving the house.
Moving cities.
Income light.
Selling, renting, buying?, house sitting? Who knows.
Shifting how my wife and I relate in marriage.
Change is everywhere.
Nothing feels stable.
And you know what, in between periods of groundedness and feeling certain…I am freaking the fuck out.
Overwhelmed by all the change and while I know what I am doing, I have very few answers.
Yet.
Surrounded by Love and Mirrors
I need help to do this and I have called in A LOT of help.
Unprecedented amounts of help.
A preposterous amount of help.
Coach, Mastermind, Couples Support, Mens group, Accountability partners, people who love me and will hold me to this. Oh and God, or the Universe, the quantum field…the source of magic.
Investing time and money. Requesting accountability.
My head is rebelling.
My heart called this in.
It’s time.
It’s confronting.
I have nowhere to hide.
I am dragging parts of myself kicking and screaming to the next version of my self.
Climbing this hill, to live my life.
Gratefully, I am surrounded by people who love me. Who are holding up mirrors.
Reflecting back to me what I need to see, with love.
Holding the vision of my life.
Holding my desire to make this change.
Holding me to account.
Holding me up when I stumble.
Picking me up when I hit the ground.
Reminding me to have a laugh and to stop being so fucking serious all the time. It’s not like it’s life or death. Oh wait, maybe it is.
So I continue. Up the hill. With a lot of help.
The help is helping.
Stay tuned…this should be interesting.

*Note: These are recent discoveries. I am just learning about Dharma, and frameworks like Gene Keys and Human Design. These frameworks have helped me to describe what I am up to.
**I recorded the audio with a lot of background noise, oh and the phone rings!, intending to update it at some point soon.
The help is helping 👏 I have been studying human design as a framework also for a while, super interesting.
