Full of Self
Burning Down the Old and Launching the New
Good morning.
It’s been one f*cker of a year. I’ve spent the past 365+ days starting over in LA. And by starting over I mean the combo move of hustling and flailing.
But I am alive and doing it.
I have friends who mock me for having an internal 80+ year old man who can’t handle technology. Truly. I was on Raya for seven minutes before emailing customer service because I didn’t understand why I was being shown 20-year-old men in Portugal.
The launch of this newsletter falls in this same non-tech-savvy zone. I would love to sift through the audience I imported through MailChimp and identify the individuals who make the most sense to receive this new newsletter. But, we’re approaching prep on my next feature and I need to spend time focusing on that.
Why “Full of Self?”
I’ve spent so much time wasting energy on the worry that GOD FORBID, people might think I was full of myself. This idea of “Full of Self” came to me on a run, contemplating the nature of “Self.” For me, life’s a journey toward self-expression. I’ve always been fascinated by how we expand and allow our soul’s expression. I’ve been called fearless countless times. But hurling myself toward fear so I don’t have time to feel it is rooted in terror. This past year has been an examination of all the ways I’ve powered through feeling instead of digesting them.
…Landing me in a divorce. I suppose, this is my “Eat, Pray, Love.” But instead of traversing the globe, I’m driving under the speed limit on the 405 meeting with brands and financiers and wondering what “producing” actually means to people here in LA.
When we’re “Full of Self,” there’s not a lot of room for noise. And there is A LOT of noise. So…how do we become FULL of SELF to best hear our inner voices and cut through the bullsh*t?
I’ve taken one of my biggest fears → worrying people may think I’m “Full of Self” — and reclaimed it, here.
We’re all in pursuit of our soul’s expression, and when we are Full of Self, we’re acting in alignment – body, mind, and soul. It’s about being charged with one’s Self and taking inspired action that’s not clouded by the external noise.
I apologize that I couldn’t individually select which audience made the most sense to receive this. Please unsubscribe if this newsletter doesn’t elevate your day. I’ll try and commit to a weekly newsletter, but as you’ll see in my next film –
I am working through my commitment issues.
To those who’d like to come along on the ride, expect a newsletter in which I explore the ways in which we get full of ourSelves.
