Well, it didn't happen overnight. And that was about twelve years ago now!

It took about 3 years for the process to take shape. Deciding one wants to go on such an adventure when young. It takes some practical thinking to come out the other side. Or at least this is what I thought.My rant today is about obstacles. As we go through life, finding the things we enjoy that challenge us can itself become a challenge. Engaging in breaking your mental state down often is not for the weak of heart, nor mind. Although, it softens and opens more space. We are deeply greatful for everything we have been able to be a part of, witness, enjoy experience and dance and sing along with. Finding obstacles is now becoming a top priority. Setting goals for work out targets, runs and longer trail hikes and climbs. We need to go back into some of what we did before business started. What brought us our edge. This was a journey that took many months, and the same thing we bring back, meeting our void, our unknown. It an inspiring obstacle and is met everyday. Those difficult times, have made the sweet ones so much tastier.

No shit, heres me at 18 in Mexico. Before cellphones. Old school.

Im a young man. Thirty years old. I have made a shit ton of bad decisions along this journey. We have also made some notable good ones. There are many paths in life. We are not thrill seakers. Our goal and aim here is simply; control over our own mind and body. This is important for us, after the last three years, it has probably been the sole thing I was not focusing on. Yet, the right thing to do, can sometimes be the hardest. Fighting old habits and routines. TO break down and realize our emotional traumas and overlays. To relinquish control with someone we love. Strong yet vulnerable. We don't know much.

To our struggles!

One thing we feel very certain about. We could not do this with out you. We are for you. Finding our role in that has mostly been plants. Now sharing information and thoughts may be just as valuable. We hope you find some inspiration in our rant.

Also, kids, dont listen to me. Dont just drop out, unless your called to. Than run, run run to somewhere fun and inspiring.

Thank you for following along in our journey.

Really enjoying reading and hearing about your life journey! Yes, fighting old habits and routines is definitely hard but must make for a very meaningful life.

Hoping the physical and mental breakdown work does us well!

Nice one, I dropped my whole life and sold it all and moved into the MTNS of Nor Cal to do yoga and meditate every day tell my pineal blew wide open and then I flew to Peru. Similar stories :)

Its off to the races on our next adventures and obstacles. SO excited that we are a part of this new economy and have inspired so many to Join along. Thank you!

Great stories! About the studies, it's hard to stay focused after the outside world teaches you so much regarding life!

Jiu JItsu is one of the ones we enjoy, and we have been playing music for about 15 years! But more mental beat downs are needed to keep this man moving along nicely

Happy trails!
