Who We Are
Seekers. Explorers. Adventurers. Creators. Guides.
What are you seeking?
Why are you here, reading this page?
What are you looking for, hoping to find, trying to figure out?
A solution to something…
An answer? The answers?
A new way to… solve problems?
We’re wired to craft automations.
And we’ve been trained, conditioned, and programmed to solve problems.
A fantastic skill to possess.
But we’re also wired for “more, better, faster, & different.”
However, solving problems and creating an outcome aren’t always the same thing.
Might not seem like a big deal, but if you’re always seeking problems to solve… guess what you’re always focused on? Problems.
And since we’re always seeking “more, better, faster, and different…” it doesn’t take a genius to realize that as we get better at solving problems, we become even more adept at creating problems to solve. Know what I mean?
We’ll call that an “occupational hazard.”
We tend to do weird shit to keep ourselves occupied playing these second or third-tier games instead of addressing the real game at hand, The Game of Self.
All the while crafting more and more complex puzzles, I mean problems, for ourselves to solve.
Our “task,” as it were, is to wake up, grow up, and clean up…
Our selves and our lives as a demonstration to those around us so they may do the same…
So they may be their real self, their true self, their full self.
WE ARE SEEKERS.
We’ve been programmed to seek out and solve problems.
What we’re really after, though, people like us, is understanding.
We want to know how this thing we call “being” works and how to make it work in our favor. Consciously creating our experience.
Regardless of the current state of your life right now, you’re seeking something, a better “this,” a bigger “that,” more of something, less of something else.
It’s our nature to straddle the lines of this paradox, wanting something, getting it, wanting something different.
When we’re unaware of this paradox, or we mismanage it, we experience lack and chase things outside of us, hoping that catching them will fill us up.
That pursuit eventually leads to self-destruction… always seeking something “else.”
You’ve got the life you have, wanting it to be different in some way.
Never content for long.
The satisfaction of achievement fades almost as soon as it’s captured.
This paradox causes many of us to feel dissatisfied, unfulfilled, hollow even… or downright frustrated.
Like, somehow, we never get “there.”
Almost, but not quite.
It doesn’t have to be that way, though…
This is something we’ll come back to later. For now, realize it’s part of the fabric of this Game that you’re playing we all call Life.
Using this paradox as a catalyst to direct “happiness” and leveraging your natural drive to be more, have more, and do more while always feeling you already ARE is just a perspective shift.
Holding this paradox from a different perspective allows you to have your cake and eat it, too.
Getting “there” wherever, whatever that means to you is attainable (read: you, in fact, CAN get what you want and HAVE the satisfaction of getting it)…
Just, maybe not the way you’ve been going about it.
It’s a dance. You get, experience the satisfaction, you swing into fulfillment, then it’s off to do/be/have the next thing WITHOUT losing the sense of satisfaction.
This allows you to ADD to the fulfillment instead of the wild swings up and down many of us go through regularly.
It’s a dance, dude, not a race that you must start, stop, start again. If that makes sense…
I digress.
We’re seeking something.
Once we understand the dynamics of that and how to use this paradox, we stop feeling empty, getting in our own way, and self-sabotaging.
We become formidable and unstoppable.
We realize we’re the worthy opponent playing against ourselves, not the world.
When we use this core skill of “seeking” appropriately, we gain peace of mind.
The peace of mind that we are whole, that we are complete… now. Not after we “get” something, or achieve something or amass some arbitrary amount of something.
That the things we’re seeking aren’t what fills us up.
The quest, dude, not the destination, gives us satisfaction and the fulfillment we’ve been looking for.
It’s derived by something else entirely, not the “getting” of some “thing” or reaching a goal.
“Seeking” is a gift, a talent, and a skill you have innately.
It can be honed and directed to become an asset… instead of leaving you feeling like something is missing or off somehow.
We are Seekers.
We are also…
