I am not a brand. Nor am I an influencer. I am simply a human who is living, learning, and being. I tried to coax myself into doing the brand thing. I tried to build up and pump out content. But every time I would sit down to create content, my mind would go blank. I felt empty and void of creativity. My words were cliche and redundant, and my themes misguided. The whole time I felt like I wasn’t myself. . I recently talked about this with a very good friend of mine, and after our conversation I realized that I was trying to fit a mold. I was trying to copy (my perception of) what others had done. But what I wasn’t doing was being my true organic self. And because of that, I starved myself of the very thing that feeds my soul. And that is living my own path; my dharma. . Life can become very clouded and murky when you attempt to be anything besides who you are. But when you embrace your light, harmony follows closely behind. Not harmony in the sense of perfection and easiness, but harmony in the sense of simplicity and self alignment. . I know some people are really into this whole wave of turning your life into a brand that you can then sell to people, and if you can do it, then more power to you. I hold the view that there is already enough garbage in the world and digital content is just a new form. I’d rather post for the sake of truly sharing, and not just to give people something to look at. This doesn’t mean that I won’t try to expand my locus of connection. It just means that if/ when I do, it will be because I’m doing my thing. . For now, I’m just going to sit here and enjoy the view. . #getoutside #getoutdoors #enjoylife #nobaddays #pma #qualityoverquantity #nature #outdoors #mountains #thewrittenwild
