Embracing the path

Here’s the beautiful thing about Ikigai,it shifts with you as you move along your journey. It’s not static. It evolves with you.

You already know what your ikigai is, and you’ve known for a while.

Sometimes the camino can be a total pain in the ass.

I’m borrowing it from the Dalai Lama, so you know it’s good shit.

The community has built parallel systems for when the journey gets rough.

Your path is not going to look like mine.

Choosing to be fully present, refusing to be numb, choosing to create, to be here with each other, connection. That is not passive. That is our form of defiance.

The path is not later. It’s here and it's now.

You are a person on a path, on a journey with ancestors behind you and people ahead of you who need what only you can give.

The only thing that is being asked of me, of you, or any of us is that we fulfill our purpose adn we rise to meet one another and our camino.

Everything is available to you in this journey at any time and you need to believe that.

Walk it. Make your stops. Reach back. This moment only once. Never again. Let’s make it count.

I am not special. I am not the exception to the rule. I am proof that the rule is kind of a lie y’all.

I want you to know that that performance cost you’re paying is not evidence that you do not belong. It is evidence that the room needs to expand.

When the salsa comes on, you don’t deny that. That’s a non-negotiable.

You own the people you love your honesty, especially when you’re scared.

Once you have youre ikigai, the road begins to meet you magically.

Sometimes you get to choose those stops that you make but you also get to choose how low you’re going to stay in each of them.

What are you doing while the path changes underneath you?

The road is full of stops and you can make whatever you want out of it.
