This is a powerful post Sam. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

I have friends who have taken a similar path. Living someone else's life and goals, no clue of what their's we're. The military did that to me as well. While I enjoyed my time in service, I always felt I could do and be more. My work, ambition, and identity were certainly not in alignment.

That's why I'm doing what I'm doing now. No specific plans. Discovering my evolving identity as I build my business.

It's crazy though. I probably work way more than I did when I was in the military, but my ambition is greater and my identity much more visible to me and those that I encounter online and in person. Seems like you're walking a similar path. Keep going brother!

Glad to hear you were able to get out of the corporate greed, pride and envy machine. It can be a brutal place, and it's sad how default of a path it has become.

Sounds like you've found a good medium in terms of a job that pays the bills, and lets you focus on your own embodied health. I definitely hope we can get more people into that space, and I'm curious to see what other advice you have on that topic.
