We're moving on...
In summary, we’ve sold everything and will be spending one year on the road, living out of the ambo, traveling around the country, and giving our son a year of our time with zero interruptions.
There are various reasons and motivations for doing so. All of which I question constantly.
I’ve found it useful to repeatedly answer the same three questions: Who’s it for? What’s it for? What Is The Change We Want To See?
Question 1 - Who’s it for? Such a simple question which requires a heavy answer.
We’re doing this for our son, ourselves, and for anyone who has ever said, “Some day..”
Questions 2 - What’s it for?
For Our Son - We’re doing this to expose him to as much as we possibly can. I want to tell him good stories about himself and the world he lives in. I want enjoy every second before it’s gone. His world will be full of possibilities vs limitations. Courage vs fear.
For Ourselves - To test ourselves and to grow. To allow an opportunity to build a life that has all we need and none of what we don’t. As a man.. to test what I’m made of and to go on an adventure.
The “Some Day” Crowd - To hopefully encourage them to take a step towards “some day”. To show the truth of what that path looks like. To prove that nobody is holding you back… other than you of course.
Question 3 - What Is The Change We Want To See? If we’re honest.. We want to see those around us prosper. We want to see happiness on peoples faces, not fear. With so much bad being shoved in our faces.. We want to see some good. We want to surround ourselves with those who are going after it with no excuses and we hope to bring you all along with us.
We’ve realized there are many ways to live a life and we’ve been fortunate to have lived an amazing one so far. With that said, simply knowing there are other options out there… we just have to find out for ourselves.
We’d like to tell more stories. We’d like to share more lessons. We must own the ability of instructing our son to chase his dreams and we must have confidence in our knowledge of what that looks like.
If that’s something you’re into, then we hope you stick around. We hope we’re successful and we hope you’re encouraged to do the same.
