ACTualized Living W/ Erik

All right, well, I believe we are live here. How's it going, Cadre family? My name is Eric. I'm new to the family, and I'm excited to have an opportunity to share with you all and be a part of this community. It's really quite a special place that's being built not just by people like me. People can contribute in content, but also by each and every one of you showing up to see what is here. And so I just kind of want to start today by introducing myself. My name is Eric, like I said, and I'm going to be starting the series called actualized living, and it's going to come in a couple of forms.

One of the forms is this live stream, a little bit more engaged, a little bit more immediate. And another form is going to be in weekly videos in which we're going to dive into some things of what it actually means to have an actualized life. The phrase actualized living is an interesting one, and the reason why I pinned that phrase to be the basis, the trajectory in which I take my time here is because a lot of times I feel like our attempts to make changes in our lives see a difference in our lives is caught up in here.

We get caught up in our mind and our thoughts. And me being a counselor, I often see people struggle and struggle for years just trying to strategize, figure out ways that they can finally get rid of parts of themselves that maybe have become barriers to a life they want to live. Cadre is awesome because it's an effective, affordable way to get content information to you about maybe another option. And that's the actualized life. And what I'm talking about here is actual changes, tangible changes that we can do together.

And so hopefully, this can be a source for that. I'm 27. I've got a wonderful family, daughter, wife, and live here in Minnesota. I've had quite the journey myself, quite the journey of trying to figure out ways in which I can finally be happy, be free, live a life that I thought was maybe, maybe worth it. And time after time again, I kept coming back to the same place. So I'm excited to share in this journey. I really want to hop on here today just to. To have an introduction, to have a place of meeting and getting to know me.

As we head off on this journey, what is actualized living for? Who is it for? It's for everyone. There's no category, there's no qualifiers. Maybe you feel like you are living the life that you want to be living. Let's figure out why that is and maybe you're not. I'm here to be real, and I'm here to be an effective source of support and insight for people who maybe lived a life similar to mine. Yeah, this is my first time. As you can see, I'm running out of words to say. And yet I feel fairly comfortable here because I know we're in a community that here to be real here not to get caught up in being a certain way, in presenting in a certain form.

And I hope that I can fill some sort of space of authenticity this afternoon, give you a taste of, hopefully, what I hope my page to be. Yeah, let's see here. A little bit about myself. I'm really creative. I love to create art. I love to express my experience as a person on this planet. Sometimes it doesn't look the best, but that's what I try to love about it. I paint, I write, I draw. And maybe some of these times that we have together, I'll include some of that that in our time. If anyone's here joined with me, feel free to throw in a question, a comment, a concern.

I don't know. Anyways, so as we go forward from here, I look forward to creating some things that actually are effective, creating some space for us to authentically be here, to live life fully, and to let go a little bit, to let go and take some action together as a crew. So, thank you all for joining me for this brief time, and I look forward to connecting with you more here in the future. Sure. Peace.
