I Lost My Backpack.. and then this happened!

It was like a sugar rush - and maybe that’s why the name Sugar Loaf Mountain is so ubiquitous.

You might be one of those people who gets off on big hikes.. the kind where you get really tuned in to the sound of your footsteps and the flavor of the day’s air.

When the person you thought was you gradually fades into the blue sky, like it never existed in the first place - Leaving you free to be, in the moment.

I’m not surprised you’re still here. If you know me even a bit, even if this is the first Epic Ecopreneur post you’ve read. You know that this is the feeling I live for. The only state of union I know for sure. 

The only sovereign nation of me I can see myself continually seeking out.

Only because on arrival it never looks, feels, sounds, tastes, or leaves in the same way.

Forget everything you’re learning about how to be faithful to yourself as you navigate each day. There’s an easier way.

Lose the backpack.

You know, those trinkets, techniques, and thoughts that you saw as necessary on this journey of self discovery. 

I’m not saying go spin out and lose yourself in the abyss of nondirection. But there’s a deeper clarity and awareness of opportunity and your role in the great motion we feel gaining momentum every day.

2020 marks an acceleration of our collective ability to arrive at a state of true individual and co-creative independence. 

There is greater freedom in taking the journey with an eye toward the new, and letting go of anything weighing you down from the featherweight feeling of aligned ascent in your life and entrepreneurial journey.

What I’m really saying here is don’t get bogged (or bagged) down by the earnest suggestions of others. Even most experts are struggling to figure out their keys to real and unburdened success in life.

You’re not here to play small. You’re here to shape a new world. One where the perils of climate change become the greatest opportunity for unification and planetary healing the world has ever known.

When you step into the unknown, and a thousand true fans lift you up because they make damn sure another kindred spirit is supported in their sacred journey of truth, change, and provocative leadership.

And a world where your story is simply a strand in the cacophonically patterned fabric of awakening to our true power as intentional stewards of reality.

Yet, what if that thread you hold was dropped.. Who wouldn’t be helped?

Who wouldn’t be inspired to add their colors to the web of illuminated action that shifts everything in the most positive direction for our sustained future..

Drop the false securities. Lose the backpack.

You’ll feel the old, stale sweat evaporate from your back in waves of relief.

Just as a new you rises to meet the occasion.

This next moment, when you leave the last line of passionate prose - Is your chance to set the intention. To ascend into truly Being.

The light, the lightest. The brightest star in someone’s day. 

Untethered by old assumptions of how success is won, of how things are done.

One strap, two strap, free from what has been

You can be the next One. To take the most important step,

In allowing yourself to accept how freeing

The journey can be.
