“…And once I realized I was my change, it made all the difference in the world.”
My name is Ethan, and I want YOU to do great things.
My Overview
I spent all my life crafting “the life” people would be proud of. The problem is it left me hollow and resentful which made me miserable internally and externally. I knew there was more to life so at my lowest, I decided to build myself up. With help from friends, music, and self help books, I found solace in personal growth. I started learning what I need and started making moves to live my best life, now I want to help others find their best selves. I believe happiness is for all and everyone must find their own way to what their best life looks like. This takes courage and hard work, do it for yourself, your family, and friends. When you are your best, everyone wins.
What I’m Doing
This is me telling my story to encourage those to become their best selves. Existential Odyssey is a journey through life’s experiences and dive into those experiences to gain a better sense of self awareness. Each post is a little encounter I’ve had, a lesson I’m learning, or a hardship that we’re all possibly going through. This is a way for men to understand our existence is deeper than the role we’ve been given to play. It’s time to share our human experience honestly so we can become the best version of ourselves.
Why am I Doing This?
Everyone says, “be the change you want to see”, yet who does anything? This is my attempt to change the cards that we are dealt. As a normal guy, I flew through life without understanding much of anything I felt. It wasn’t until I started this journey of self reflection that I realized the depth of the human experience. It can be both a beautiful, and painful experience, but that’s what makes it worth while. Put an end to just “showing up” in your life and ARRIVE.
How to get Involved
By following my blog on Substack, hopefully it sparks some hope/joy/encouragement in your own life. I’m not saying quit your job to be like me, but instead take what I’ve learned and think about how YOU engage within YOUR life. It’s an introspective odyssey that aims to change peoples lives.
