It is easy to compare myself to others as I turn 40.  Should I not own a house with wife and kids already? I have always lived to the best of my own drum. No matter which life you live the grass is always greener on the other side, or so we believe. I have my independence and freedoms to choose which way I go and when. Is it a selfish lifestyle? At times, but it requires a lot of personal sacrifice when it comes to my personal relationships especially while living a nomadic lifestyle abroad. But the things I get to see and people I get to meet and experiences I would never have had etc etc. I am single and perhaps may never get married, but I don’t limit myself to all possibilities, this has just been my journey. And I love hard too. Just because I am a solo journeyman doesn’t mean I don’t believe in love and partnership and community. I swear by all of these aspects of life. We learn the most about ourselves and each other when we share our lives with others. It takes courage as conflict will always arise between people who care about each other. And others we don’t know how to communicate properly with! My mental well-being has also been an incredible part of my awakening to what makes me happy and what my purpose is in life. Or just to have purpose and meaning while we discover what our bigger purpose is. But we will never know if we don’t live by growing, confronting our fears and trying new things. Taking car of ourselves so we can love and care about each other. Needless to say I am developing my voice at 40 years of age. I may look like a skater boy on the outside but I have an old wizard living inside my soul.  Being honest with myself has been the most liberating experience coming into midlife. The truth shall set you free. Enjoy this week’s video podcast. ✌🏻
