There’s a deep space where we get lost all the time.

A void of unspeakable vagueness and hellish confusion.

It’s the vast nothingness between knowing with our mind and knowing with our heart.

Where one moment we float around comfortably on intellectual ice floes, only to fall off into the ic1e-cold water of our turbulent inner lives a second later.

I write about this all the time because I believe it to be helpful.

I also write about it all the time because I think we need to hear and read it over and over and over again until it becomes more than just a neat little idea.

Because what makes all of this really challenging is that we can know it and understand it, but still have no clue what to do with it.

Experiences like emotions and feelings almost always trump the logical stuff we have mentally stored, the things that feel comfortable when life is easy and simple and we read blogs that make sense.

But life doesn’t make sense.

I have talked about that many times too.

Life is like a steaming hot soup filled with crazy ingredients.

And it always feels like some big-ass divine entity is constantly stirring it.

The human predicament is that we keep getting lost in the void, the confusing space we drop into whenever life seems to throw stuff at us.

We are essentially emotional beings, living at the mercy of whatever we believe to be true.

We worry, we fear, we hate, and we do it again and again and again, even if our experience tells us again and again and again that it’s completely fucking useless.

We do it because we totally believe it and we have no idea what else to do.

For most of us, this results in a prison-like experience.

And this is exactly what we try to get out of all the time.

Human beings have always found ways to find some relief, to experience a little peace of mind, to get a sense of being home.

While most of us will probably never find this in a sustainable and completely fulfilling way, it IS possible.

It is.

I am proof.

And that’s why I keep writing and coaching and sharing.

Inspiring you to stay out of the void.

Just helping you to get lost a little bit less.
