Uncomfortable

Uncomfortable 


I’ve finally hit unfamiliar territory this year. At first, I was super excited. All of my dreams aligned. I traveled to South America with an amazing person, started my own company with my twin and accepted an opportunity to go overseas for a year. My South America trip has recently ended and all that excitement turned into a little fear. That fear was the uneasiness of the sacrifices I would have to make in order to continue to align with my goals. Fast forward to today and this is only my 3rd day of what feels like a never-ending state of being uncomfortable.  I get to travel for 1 whole year to 12 different cities across 4 different continents.  I get to work on creating a company with my brother with few distractions and almost unlimited flexibility.  So I gave up my home because in 3 months I’m out of the country for a year. I gave up my car, because I wouldn’t be able to drive it and why make payments on a car that I can’t drive. I had a hard time giving the car up last week.  I loved that Corvette Stingray. Now I have no car and no home. I’m living with my brother (Ramon) for 3 months in Denver while we get the business up and running.  I have nothing to hang on for comfort it’s liberating but the weirdest feeling in my life because everything is unknown.  We always want to cling on to something familiar. It seems as if I shouldn’t be freaking out because of the opportunities that are on the way. Yet how many people take this leap to give up everything.  As soon as I say that I start to recall that in my life I’ve always taken challenging paths so there is my comfort.  They say if you leave old things behind you are able to experience true growth, we shall see!!

Crawl

Hello All, Last few weeks have been difficult, trying to get organized with family and business. I continue to have this battle with patience even though I believe that things are progressing at the right speed. I know that for success to be sustainable I must look at it like a child. First a child crawls, then walks, and finally runs. Business is the same way, as new entrepreneur trying to create and learn require time otherwise the business won't develop properly. Similarly, when I am stressed and down because I want to see faster progress or even when I feel like quitting, I just hang in there and take one step at at time. I basically crawl, walk, and than run back to sanity. Before you know it Im flying high again with enthusiasm. This is a lesson I will have to take with me on my journey in life. CRAWL, WALK, RUN 6/21/17, Ramon Reese

Frustrations

Hello all, The last 24 hours have been a little frustrating. I was both stressed and excited about our second periscope. I was up 2 hours prior to the live broadcast, however, we unable to put together a quality broadcast. Trying to broadcast live from Denver, and South America was a challenge for both my brother and I. We struggled to keep my brother live and being a novice I struggled to handle microphone issues. Unfortunately, I had to finish the broadcast and deal with microphone issues for 3 minutes live. Fortunately, we didn't have any viewers on during the live broadcast, however, I accidentally deleted the video so anyone wanting to see a replay will think that we were incompetent and failed to make a broadcast for our second episode during the scheduled time. I have spoken to my brother and we have created a plan to rectify these issues. After calming down I realize we should be grateful for discovering these issues now before we have actually gained a following. I...

Leftover

Hey all, Even though the thought of having leftovers seems to have a negative connotation, for most dishes leftovers seem to taste better in my opinion. Maybe it is because the flavor settled or maybe I didn't appreciate the flavor the first time. I'm starting to look at life that way. How many of us would risk it all to find our authentic selves? Meaning how many would give up our current way of life, the money, cars, and job for a chance to discover ourselves? How many would be satisfied with what is leftover after you get rid of glamour around stuff. It can be difficult to grasp but, we are not our money, we are not the stuff we accumulated, we are not our jobs. We were probably much happier before we accumulated that stuff we thought would enhance our lives and our identity. It took me a while to figure out that none of that stuff truly made me happy. Instead of being happy with myself I wanted what others had. Now, I am on a spiritual journey to help others through m...
