Wanderers, Travelers, & Free Spirits

two decades & a hundred books finding joy & direction.
Just sharing what I’ve learned, 100+ articles.

healthy. wealthy. happy.

I used to be pretty lost in life. Didn’t know where to go or what to do. I didn’t know how to be happy.

I didn’t want to work a normal 9-5. 6+ years later I’ve got some direction. And I’m a hell of a lot happier.

Nobody teaches you this stuff.

• Work I care about
• Relationships that matter
• Die without wasting my life

I used to be pretty anxious, lost, jealous and… overall felt pretty worthless. I questioned it all and didn’t see the point. Growing up, I felt like an outsider.

I didn’t know how to be happy. Some people are born with a high Happiness baseline. I wasn’t. Fortunately, humans have pondered this Life thing for thousands of years. There’s no magic formula… but there is a recipe.

#1 Regret:

I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

I’d rather enjoy life. And I refuse to die with that same regret. So here’s a bit of what I’ve found so far:

1. Community

Far and away the largest contributing factor to happiness. Three generations from now we’ll all be dead anyways, might as well enjoy it.

2. Meaningful Work

“Humans function like a bicycle unless you move up and forward towards the target, you will stagger and fall”

John D. Rockefeller, wealthiest man in the world 1937

We need purpose. That Japanese even have a term we’ve adopted: “Ikigai”

3. Gratitude (Mindset)

Any research on positive psychology comes up with gratitude.

I never got the chance to say this… [the world] needs thinkers like you. I observe people a lot and I respected quite a bit about your authenticity and confidence in self. Don’t change

Colin’s mind is like a black box of solutions – I just put my questions in there and out come the answers to my life. It’s incredible

My favorite thing we talk about and think about together is talking and thinking… I literally have to use a different neural pathway to talk to Colin, he spots bullshit from a mile away and calls it out immediately. I love the way he makes me think and question my life.
