B3 : Be Like Water.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

B-2: Why Southeast Asia?

It turns out the time is right!

Since I studied Thai massage way back in the twentieth century, I have been curious about traveling to Thailand, and Southeast Asia. This opportunity to travel, learn and teach, have given me a jump-start to starting on plans I have been steeping for decades!

Aside from the food, the history and opportunities to learn and grow, the mysticism of the east has captured my attention in the form of ancient healing modalities, temple sites and modern adventure. Shortly, I will provide a general itinerary for my travels, but it is my hope to go ‘off-trail’ when the opportunity arises to safely explore and find the kind of growth alongside of the return to my ‘old-self’, that adventurous traveller who wandered through the Middle East, Eastern & Western Europe in the late 80’s and early 90’s.

What am I seeking?

Maybe it’s a bit like art, where “I might not know a lot about art, but I know what I like (and why,)” and when the feeling or lesson hits, I look forward to exploring it, writing about it, and seeing what things may come!

If the only regrets we have in life are the things we avoided out of fear, then sure, there is still a lesson to learn there. Those are the opportunities that haunt our imaginations and sideline dreams when we are younger - and sometimes, into and through, adjulthood. I am sure that, because it is a journey, our ability to process, experience or fulfill an opportunity we ran from in the past - may, at that time, have just been a part of our journey.

Really, it can get a bit maddening to fumble around with philosophical questions like that.

Ultimately, the decisions we make, make us who we are. I wouldn’t change that. It doesn’t mean that I am happy to have grown up in a generation with almost no documentation of my youthful adventures…

B-One: Sabbatical

Change.

It feels inevitable, but takes many forms from minor to sublime as we challenge ourselves. Whether we walk, or run through life, we may find ourselves in need. When seeking change, or reacting to it, is the difference between participating in our lives and having it scripted for us.

The difference, and the distinction, between Action and Reaction, can be profound. It can change your worldview, your friendship circles, and ripple through the universe you have been a part of your entire life.

Reflecting upon my life over the last few years, I saw with some clarity, and new vision, the last few years of my life, and where I would like to be.

Change is coming.

Growth is coming.

Some of you may know that I was recently divorced and moved to California.

That move was fantastic for me, but I recently realized that I have not taken time for myself in these last few years for processing and growth in the aftermath of my divorce. This is an exciting opportunity for my health, wellbeing, and for my professional goals as an advocate for my industry.

This personal development is my journey to experience the kinds of lessons that come from pushing outside ones comfort zones!

Thank you for joining me on my journey! I look forward to sharing what I learn along the way.

Best,

Jordan
