Goals Postpartum

I was on a call with one of my coaches, Kyle Dow, through his program “Soul Path” and he said something that struck me to my core…

“Goals Postpartum”

This is me. This is what I’ve been stuck in for the past year and a half. After realizing all the goals I had been chasing weren't making me any happier, I started down a soul-seeking rabbit hole.

Through a process of healing ceremonies, I woke up and thought, “What the hell have I been doing with my life?”

What have I been doing chasing goals, accomplishments, and recognition? 

Who is it for?

Is it for validation? 

Where is this yearning to be seen from?

Do any of these goals I’m chasing mean anything to me? Or is there a deeper yearning from my higher self that is begging to come through.

I’m starting to figure it out and piece the puzzle together; slowly but surely.

Deep Inner Calling

“Cycling Trivialities” a song by Jose Gonzales says it best…

“All this time you were chasing dreams

Without knowing what you wanted them to mean”

You see I was doing all the things I thought I needed to achieve to make me happy…

From having a business that runs itself so I have the freedom to do what I want, when I want it, to building my personal brand (ironically through blogs like this, podcasting and writing books), to awards and recognition like making it to the 40 Under 40 list in Silicon Valley, to having a "trophy" girlfriend.

None of it brought me happiness, but through the deep inner work I’ve been doing I’m finally starting to realize my mission in this current human incarnation...

I’m a Bridge Builder

I’m not trying to be something I’m not. In fact, I’m not trying to be anything but me and without getting too existential how could I be anything but me?

The point is I’m starting to realize what being authentic truly means and how to embody it.

I want to be the person that bridges the gap between those feeling the call that there’s something more than just “living in the Matrix” and centering their lives around defining who they are by the business they are in.

My Grandfather said to my Dad and my Father in turn passed it down to me…

“We work to live, we don’t live to work”.

I was living to work and now as I sit in this goal postpartum, I’m awakening to my higher calling and letting my soul come out to play.

So, I’ll leave you with this… if you’re feeling the call that you may be putting too much of an emphasis on work, please reach out (sam@soulseekrz.com). I have an abundance of resources that I can offer.

Let's all find a way to play a bit more and not be so serious in a world consumed by fear.

Much Love,

Sam
