Ask yourself
What would feel joyful today?
Not in the superficial sense. That deep joy. The kind that comes from alignment.

The Pain of Seeking
(Journal Entry #02)
I feel like I’ve been suffering from the pain of constant seeking lately. It’s felt like my life lost this sense of vibrancy and freshness. Everything I was doing felt desperate and heavy.
Has this ever happened to you?
It took a minute, but I finally realize what was up. I became way too caught up in getting things done and completely lost touch with my presence. My mind was heavily attached to everything that I was doing —constantly thinking about the future and how what I’m doing now is affecting me getting there, constantly thinking about the past and what I could have done differently.
This passage from “The Power of Now” really brought be back:
“Imagine the Earth devoid of human life, inhibited only by plants and animals. Would it still have a past and a future? Could we still speak of time in any meaningful way? The question “What time is it?” Or What’s the date today?” — if anybody were to ask it — would be quite meaningless. The oak tree or the eagle would be bemused by such a question. “What time?” They would ask. “Well, of course, it’s now. The time is now. What is else there?”
Yes, the mind is important to function in this world but it doesn’t need to take over our entire lives. My presence doesn’t have to be constantly reduced to the means of getting to some future moment.
It’s great that I’m ambitious but I also need to surrender.
My soul cares way less about what I achieve and is more interested in how I move through it.
You are not everything you identify yourself with. You are awareness. Let joy be the compass.
Thats basically what I’m telling myself at the moment. Hope it helps someone that sees this.

My first YouTube Video: House of Ride
This one hits different. It was special in a way I can’t fully explain. Shoutout to Harry and Felicia!
It was my first time running classes and workshops in a setting like this. Coaches from all over the world pulled up, creating this “third space” where we could connect, build, and actually learn from each other. No egos. No judgment. Just connection and support.
It wasn’t like being in a studio. And it wasn’t like guest teaching at a studio or special location. There was a different feel to it. I think because of the setting. This was located in a place that seemed like a community center, in a random room, while other people were just living their lives doing whatever activity interest them. Some were working, some grabbing some food, some playing volleyball or basketball. It was all happening around us.
That somehow, made everything even better. It felt open, raw, and real.
Super grateful to have been part of it.

Why would you start a blog?
“No one reads blogs anymore.”
Whether that’s true or false, it doesn’t really matter to me.
I’m not writing this blog post to scream it out to the world, in hopes of an echo in return. I’m writing this for myself.
I like spending time with thoughts and ideas that light me up. If I’m wise, I’ll figure out how to do more of that and less of the opposite. It helps keep me honest.
And to be honest, here’s a hot take: Everyone should have a blog. Whether it’s under your name, a secret alias, an alter ego, it doesn’t matter. It’s a cool thing to create. A place to express yourself. Internet real estate and you’re the architect, builder, and resident. An online record of you carving out the time to sit, think, & share a piece of your mind.
How beautiful.
