Who Am I? Introduction or existential crisis? You decide.

in introduceyourself •  8 years ago  (edited)

A year ago, I would have crafted an entirely different post for something like this. I've come to realize there really is no description I could offer that would accurately encompass who I AM.

Hitting you with the existential crisis right away - Who is "I" anyway? My body? My brain? A combination of the two? The story I have created about who/what/when/where/how "I" am?

Any word I could ever use to describe myself is subjective.

For instance, love means something unique to each person. Why? Because each of us has led an entirely unique life through our own specific lens, thus creating a one-of-a-kind perspective. As human beings, we are always making things "mean something" to/for us. In my opinion, this simply reverts back to a survival tactic.

But I digress. I "earn money" by working as an Account Manager for a software company. My REAL "job" - what I came here to do, my purpose, what lights me up - is being of service to others as a transformational life coach and health freedom ambassador!

That's a fancy way of saying, I help you see how bad ass you are and guide you in living a healthy, whole, LIT UP life.

In a typical day, you would find me on client calls, cooking (it's like meditation for me), taking an obnoxious amount of photos of my adorable dog (Meeka), learning about all things holistic health (yes, for fun), and generally doing homebody things.

The video below is one that I recorded on Facebook Live (hence the low quality), discussing co-creation, over-intention, expectations, and surrender. It's a great "sneak-peek" into my life's work, and I read that verification is important here on Steemit, so hopefully this will suffice!

Thanks for reading/watching. I'm already so impressed by the content that I am reading here on Steemit and look forward to interacting with all of you! My promise to you is that I will be engaged in your posts and providing authentic content myself!

Before I go, here is a pic of the real me :P

Welcome to Steemit, Samantha

Thanks so much!

Hello Samantha, welcome to Steem! :-)

Thank you. Great to be connected and sharing with you!

Hi Samantha, welcome to Steem! :-)

Thanks for the warm welcome. Glad to be here!

Thanks for sharing. Emotions fueling creation and not focusing on one outcome, I dig those concepts. Welcome to Steemit.

Definitely! Thanks for tuning in. Excited to be here!

Samantha,

Thanks for sharing! You seem to have a unique insight on life and I look forward to reading more from you soon. Good luck, and welcome to Steemit!

Thank you for this awesome comment! Happy to share and be of service, and looking forward to the community experience here on Steemit!

Welcome to Steemit!

Thank you!

Service to others with a large portion of forgiveness added-- therein lies the golden ticket.

If only even 1/3 of humanity understood that they are co-creators we could transform this world overnight but also it is at times what seems to be a very long drawn out awakening. Then good news is that it's actually happening now. Even though today's world is beyond bizarre these are exciting times to be alive and I feel the collective transformation is just around the corner. Steemit is of course a part of that movement that will finally see the liberation and self realization of humanity.

The other 'catch' regarding our co-creative powers is that those who do not realize those powers leave them on the table to be used by those who do- often for nefarious ends.

great post- welcome to Steemit. Outstanding photo too ; )

"The other 'catch' regarding our co-creative powers is that those who do not realize those powers leave them on the table to be used by those who do- often for nefarious ends."

^Love that! This feels true to me as well. And I agree - EXCITING times to be alive.

Thanks for the comment!

How can an alien on your mirror ?

Haha! It was just a joke :)

Aw thank you! I am happy to be able to share here. Everyone is so welcoming!

Oh my gosh. Yes yes YES! I love this concept of co-creation instead of attaching to outcomes. I love you already. And you are SO gorgeous!

SWOON.. You are so sweet - thank you! Appreciate you watching this and I love you already as well. Love your "rooted and rising" tagline btw. So clever and I really resonate with it!

Thank you babe! Yeah, it's a blog I started and the link to the website is on my profile too! therootedandrising.com :)

That is not the real you in that pic, is it? Welcome to Steemit and I hope it is fun and enjoyable for you @samanthalynn

Haha Im an alien on the inside!

Sambo! I look forward to duelling with you in the #philosophy tag ;) I'd love to know who your influences are? If you need an help on here just shout "Hey @mindhunter!!" OK? Ask me anything (AMA) Later alligator .... Steem on!

Haha I had an aunt who used to call me Sambo. Nostalgic. So many influences of course, not really limited to philosophy. I would argue that I can't NOT be influenced by everything in reality. Some of my favorite beings: e.e. Cummings, Kurt Vonnegut, Alan Watts, Louise L Hay, Eckhart Tolle... the list goes on. Looking forward to sharing the space with you here! Thank you for offering support!

Sambo! Such a term of endearment. God bless your aunt, I love it :) Right, lets get started on philosophy. Probably best you watch my thoughts on Alan Watts first! Ha ha! ;)
