REEBO: A Lifelong Process of Growth and Meaning

By

There are natural cycles all throughout life. Each day, we’re greeted by the morning and engulfed by the night. We experience the seasons in a year, and we see the creation and cessation of life in the creatures and humans around us.

Yet when it comes to the patterns of how we live our lives day to day, many of us don’t pay attention to the phases necessary to continuously reach our potential. Through grade school, high school, college, to our first job or two, this is more or less set by the structured path of our society. We’re moved along from school to job system, experiencing new environments and challenges along the way.

But once we get past the scripted path is where (for most people) the trouble begins.

Embracing A Life of Experience and Freedom

By

As I’m writing this, I’m sitting in the Dominican Republic with my husband. We’ve been here since the fifth, and it’s been so amazing that we’ve extended our stay an extra four days.

The weather is perfection.

It’s 80 degrees every day with a breeze that rustles the palm fronds and balances out the heat and moments of stillness. The Airbnb condo we’re staying at is modern and gorgeous, and located in a small town near La Romana on the Caribbean side of the Dominican Republic.

Lessons Relearned: Allowing the Unknown to Unfold

By

I thought it’d be easier this time around, but I was wrong.

These past two weeks, I’ve found renewed value in an article I wrote about the year after my sabbatical. This comes at a time as I’m transitioning into new possibilities in contract work.

It turns out, I could use some reminders of lessons I’ve already learned to be true.

The Truth About Struggle and Meaningful Progress

By

“There is scarcely any passion without struggle.” 

– Albert Camus

Struggle has a bad rap. If asked, most of us would likely opt against struggle, preferring to avoid it if we can.

Yet, at the same time, we can’t seem to escape it. Struggle is everywhere. Unavoidable.

Many of us are familiar with struggle as a part of our lives. We understand that anything worth having requires a level of hard work and consistency. Much more, it’s reinforced through our parents, authority figures and general society.

We’re told to work hard and put our nose to the grindstone. 52% of us are dissatisfied with our jobs yet we still stay in them. When something takes longer or more work than we expect, we’re told it’s part of the game and that dues need to be paid.

But for what? Is it worth it?

My Favorite Exercise For Staying Motivated

By

Every once in awhile, I find myself wondering.

Wondering if all the changes I’ve made in my life starting in 2014 have been for naught. Wondering when the work I’m putting in will pay off. Wondering if my husband and I are making the right decision for us.

Most days, I’m great. I have faith that I’ve made the right decision to quit my job and embrace uncertainty. I don’t ask if the platforms we’re building will be successful; I generally believe it’s a question of when.

But we all have bad days.

Uncovering Meaningful Progress In Your Life

By

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”

– George Bernard Shaw

I’m not a big fan of change, but I’ve made many over the past year and a half.

Being blessed with a well-paying job, comfortable home and loving husband wasn’t enough. I was grateful for what I had, but an inner part of me needed more.

I needed a sense of progress.

A Contrary Perspective On Vulnerability

By

Vulnerability comes from the stuff that you’re certain will cost you. It’s a sickening, sinking feeling, one that threatens to slit you open, baring the most delicate insecurities into the open.

The discomfort you feel from vulnerability is excruciating at times. It’s commonly paired during times of growth, when you’re more weak and susceptible. It’s when all the sources of your Kryptonite combine together to attack. It’s when you wonder if the whole world is against you as you try your best to break away from the feelings consuming you.

It’s little wonder why we shy away from vulnerability—to our own detriment.
