Do you feel alone? Just in 2017, I finally achieved a pinnacle of success in my field. I had worked with Team USA athletes, owners of S&P 500 companies, and I had a beautiful and caring relationship. My health was fantastic, and I was able to buy all of the material things I wanted. I spent my weekends at my favorite restaurants, and I spent my days truly helping people live happier lives. But I felt so incredibly alone. While I saw my life as being full of inspiration and opportunities, when I would communicate this with others, they would seem so happy about me building the life of my dreams. But months would pass and they wouldn't be building their own. And the most fascinating part to me was that they were happy. Happy about their new car, their new house, their dog, all of the beautiful little things. I couldn't relate. A part of me wanted to fit in. Parts of me loved the little things just as much. Yet a deeper voice called to me, go find your tribe.
Go.
And I found them. Lots of them. People who supported my visions of enthusiasm, a limitless life of fulfillment. I made friends who challenged my visions and inspired me to think bigger and to be more generous. Friends who encouraged me to share my journey and inspire the next generation of bold, adventurous, risk taking savages. Heroes.
