LISTENER MAIL!
You wrote…I read…and now I’m answering.
I’m going to try to answer two or three messages a week in this new segment/format whatever you want to call it. Hey, content is king you know…so yea…I’m doing this now.
But be forewarned, I’m not going to be doing it well. Mostly because you guys write in with a lot of bizarre questions, but mostly because I’m trying to keep these videos short. And I’m not one of brevity.
Anyway, let’s do a thing.

AMOUR FATI ROUND II
THE SEQUEL.
THE MUSICAL.
THIS TIME…IT’S PERSONAL.
Hey all, about two weeks ago, I posted a video talking about the practice of Amour Fati.
And well…some of you had opinions.
And thoughts.
And things to say.
And say them you did.
So here is my retort.
I welcome all comments, questions, challenges, etc. Speak up. Let me hear you. I don’t care if you disagree. That’s ok. Let’s talk openly and honestly. We might never see eye to eye, and that is also ok. I don’t expect every single person to agree with everything I say. Christ…how boring would that be? The only thing I can say with any authority at all, is that I only post about things I have personal experiences with. I’m not up here talking out of half my ass…or my full ass. Anything I say to you, I say it because it’s been a benefit to me in my life. Hard stop. Period the end. I’m not preaching the gospels or designing the blueprint of your life. That’s on you and you alone. I’m saying, ‘this works for me, so maybe consider it an option.’
So, that being said, take a spin in my chair and see what’s what.

AMOR FATI
Not the ‘formula for human greatness’ as it’s been marketed, but an invaluable tool in your ‘Better You’ toolbox.
Amor fati is a Latin phrase that means "love of fate" or "love of one's fate". It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary.
But look, why read about it when you can watch my thirst trap mug explain it in this handy little video.
Go on…clickity click and check it out.

Pssst...Hey man...yea you...hey, do you Ubuntu?
Cos it'd be a lot cooler if you did.
Are you new to Ubuntu?
Well son, let me pop your cherry.
Broken down simply, ubuntu is the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.
Sounds sus? No man, come closer and let me explain.
Ubuntu is a philosophy. Rooted in a relational form of personhood, basically meaning that you are because of the others. As a human being, you—your humanity, is fostered in relation to other people.
In practice, ubuntu means believing the common bonds within a group are more important than any individual arguments and divisions within it.
“Umuntu Ngumuntu Ngabantu” or “I am, because you are” is how Ubuntu is commonly described. It speaks to the fact that we are all connected and that one can only grow and progress through the growth and progression of others.
So you see, it's on the level. Nothing fake, phony or hollow.
This is the good sh*t. The real sh*t. The get-on-it-and-do-this-right sh*t.
We could all use some ubuntu.
And the good thing is, there's an endless supply. Enough for everyone the world over.
You just need to tap into it.

HEALING
HEALED
HEAL.
What does it mean?
What is your definition?
Before taking a hiatus, I would occasionally get emails about me being a ‘coach.’
To be very clear, I’m not.
I never claimed to be.
In fact, with a few exceptions..people like @catalyst_coaching_aust , @equator_therapies , my own personal therapist, and some others, people that have been through the practices they preach, I am VERY leery of anyone claiming to be a ‘coach’ or a ‘leader’ of any kind as it pertains to mental health.
Especially in this day and age when mindfulness and spirituality are so easily co-opted and monetized.
It’s become easily accessible snake oil fostered on people begging for help.
In the same way that owning a camera doesn’t make you a photographer, downloading Canva, doesn’t make you an authority on anything. Much less your mental well-being.
Would you take travel advice from someone that’s never left their house?
Abso-f**king-lutely not.
So why take advice, or worse, ‘therapy’ from an internet meme?
Look, I don’t have all the answers.
I never said I did.
But the ones I do, I came by honestly. Earnestly. I fought for those answers and they didn’t come easy.
And that’s because healing, no matter how you define it, is immeasurably hard.
It’s not supposed to be easy. And it’s not supposed to come from motivational pictures or matter-of-fact hard line stances drawn up on an app that anyone can download.
You accept what is.
You decide your path.
And you do the work.
Your healing is a puzzle.
And you keep adding pieces.
Another perfect sunrise.
That’s your cue humans.
The sun did its’s part.
It got up. It shook the world awake and said ‘Adios Motherf**ker’ to any sins, mistakes, and missteps of yesterday. Those ships have left the harbor and are gone for good.
And now you’re been given the gift of a brand new today.
Mint condition. Still in the box. Fresh as a spring daisy
Think of all the people that didn’t wake up this morning. That aren’t fortunate enough to have this gift.
That sunrise is untapped opportunity. Virgin freedom.
To do with what you want.
But be forewarned…this is the only sunrise you get today. That’s it. Just the one. There’s no guarantee you’ll see this again. Not in this world.
So with that being said…what are you going to do with it?
Will you squander it?
Will you put in a box and stash it away in the back of your closet.
Next to those pants we both know you’re never going to fit in again?
….acid wash is never coming back…just get rid of them already.
Or will you do something with this moment? This fleeting nearly imperceptible moment of time?
So small. So fragile. But priceless.
Make today count.
Make it count.
Do right by the day and I promise it will do right by you.
It’s the only today you’ll ever get.
Don’t let it go without leaving your mark and signing your name.

I can’t think of a better way to start my morning.
…at least on that doesn’t involve me to being completely naked, welding a fire extinguisher.
Anywho…let’s get this day started.
Remember, we’ve got important work to do.

I’M BAAAAAAACK!!!
Yes that’s right…after a somewhat longer-than-anticipated
sabatical,
I
Am
Back
At
It.
Back in the mix.
Back on the stick.
Back behind the wheel.
Back in the groove.
Back to the future.
Back to the beach.
Up around the bend.
And back to the mystery city.
I’m back. The Radical Humanist is back.
We’re reunited and don’t it feel so good.
But for real. I’m back and I want to thank you all for
holding down the fort and keep the lights on while I was
away.
As some of you know, I recently overturned my entire life
and took the first very necessary steps on a new journey. I
embarked. There was an embarking. Embarkment
abounded and now I’m knee deep in the hoopla, as they
say.
I want to get into the why’s and how’s and when’s and
where’s of it all, but not right now.
It’s a long story and requires a set up, a proper intro, a
prologue, some establishing shots, a few beats of rising
action, a climax…hehehe…”climax”…all that sh*t. I’m just not ready to tell that story in it’s entirety.
But I will.
And I’ll do it like I do everything.
With style, grace, and gusto.
…and probably some booze.
But I’m getting off track.
I’m here now to say one thing and one thing only.
Thank You.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the Radical
Humanist from day one.
And thank you to all of you that kept this alive in my
absence.
I’ve received dozens upon dozens of messages and DMs
and texts and phone calls. And although I haven’t
answered all of them ( or most of them ) please know that
is not indicative of my level of interest or commitment. To
the Radical Humanist, to you, to any of it.
It’s nothing more than an unfortunate function of timing
and circumstance. Moving..finding a place to live…starting
a new career…starting a new life..moving the needle…
then throw in all the holiday bruhahaha and..well…sh*t get
cray. It just done get cray.
But I promise to get back to each and every one of you.
