Delight

       I love a season of change, a time of growth. The moments when we take inventory on our lives and check in with not just the trajectory, but the method. For me it has been acknowledging some darker parts of myself that have been allowed to grow as well as taking a good hard look at my career.

             The second part of taking inventory is the action. For me, I’ve chosen this past month to step away from the career I’ve been building for the past decade and begin to chase my vocation over any paycheck or title. For this I’m focusing on what I want to build, what to nurture, a non-traditional application of all of the skills and experiences I carry with me seems to be the best path forward. Focusing on building systems for organizations and individuals that are going to give the power to the people, place the training and responsibility in the hands of the most affected, most impacted by this chaotic world we find ourselves in.

              This requires a different Fitz, it forces me to get back to the sunny light human who sees the good in all and the positive in the darkest experiences. It’s grounded not in how tough I am, but how gentle I can be. It’s a man chasing his climbing dreams and training hard because he knows how much that fills his cup to pour out for humanity. It’s separation from the laissez-faire nihilistic I’m above it all I’ve slipped into and engaging with a full heart in the messy slop that is the human experience.

             So cheers to our shortcomings, to the pitfalls of our personalities, to our damaging tendencies and negative narratives. They complete us because perfection is lame as hell and growth is the only thing worth chasing. I love you all, I’m excited for the future, and thank you for visiting, maybe I’ll toss up some of my journals in the next few days.

Love,

Fitz
