About

I’m a 30 something living in early 21st century America struggling to make sense of my own existence and purpose. I’ve spent the first half of my professional life successfully building a career to provide for myself and my family believing that material trappings will provide comfort and security. Like many people I find myself increasingly wondering if this has been the best way to spend my time.

Since I was a kid I've found myself drawn to the deepest questions of existence. At 13 I saved up my allowance and bought a 1,200-page book on the religions of the world not because I was overtly religious but because I’ve always been fascinated by existential questions and have yearned for answers as to how I should best live my life, where I came from, and why in the world I'm here in the first place (whatever I am).

The older I get the more I find myself thinking about the most basic human condition; mortality. We will all physically leave this world one day, likely sooner than any of us would like. Time is our most precious resource. It is the sole resource that we cannot create nor find more of. So what are we doing with it? How are we living our lives in a way that will matter? In a way that we can be proud of? Why are we here?

I read something once when I was much younger that has always stuck with me; imagine every single human being that you know. That you love, that you cherish, that you respect. In a brief 100 years from now none of those people will still be alive. Keeping that fact in mind, how would it change the way you live your life? How can we best spend the time that we have? This question rarely leaves my mind.

This is a place for me to chronicle my thoughts, thinking, and journey. If it resonates with you please follow along, we’re all in this together.. (if any of us are actually here at all.. wherever or whatever here is).
