I (Andy) have been a way for a few weeks now; out in Hawai’i to be specific. I’ve been exploring, writing, and photographing the beauty of the islands.

And many times I’ve heard “I want to be you for the day!” or “I want your life!”

What is someone saying when they type this?

Sure, it’s often tongue-in-cheek. Yet we all have done this with someone at some point. It’s one reason there are celebrities.

I recently heard about a photographer who was invited onto the boat of a major rap artist to document a week long trip. The photographer was asked what they wanted to eat and asked for a menu to pick from. No, they were told, they could ask for anything. Anything they could possibly want would be on the yacht.

Do you want to live that life? Which one? The photographer? The rap artist with seemingly unlimited resources?

Why?

When we say “I want your life”, what do we really want?

Money? Why? Because we are not financially secure right now? Because of greed? Because of wanting to provide for a family?

More travel? Why? Because we love the open road or new cultures? Because we are afraid to do it ourselves but really have a desire to go?

What about relationships or careers or skills – do we find that we’d rather be over there in THAT life, not our own? Why?

“Why?” is a very important question to ask.

They why leads to the what. And the what… oh, there’s a lot of exciting things there (we’ll get there…)

Here’s the thing, you really don’t want my life. I don’t want you to have my life – it’s mine! What I truly desire for you is to have your own life filled with adventure; filled to the brim with beauty of what this world has to offer. And I think you might have a desire for that too…

That’s what we aim to do with this site; to invite you on the adventure of a lifetime. Your.Life.Time.

When you are intentional about seeking it you will stop desiring to be the other person and fully become who you are. And that is a really exciting world to us.

Your journey that will take you to amazing places that only you can get to; loving your spouse and being there for them the way no one else can, raising your kids and seeing their first this and that, traveling to the ends of the earth and meeting people of various cultures. I don’t know “the what” for your life but I know that when you find it, only you will be able to do it.

Why?

Ah, the why question again. Well, I hate to break it to you but you have an expiration date. You, yes you, will die.

At the risk of sounding trite, it’s so very important to remember. Each day, each minute you have – those are your life. Fail to be intentional about it and you’ll miss the boat. Be intentional and you might find yourself in Hawai’i for five weeks. Or raising three beautiful children. Or at the top of your game in your career.

Our job is to help you get there. That’s part of our life.

We want to help you find the WHY and the WHAT of your life so you can get onto living it.

So, here is the invitation…

Join us on this incredible adventure we call life. Because it is indeed short and yet offers so much. Together let’s seek out all of the beauty and find ways to add to it.

Jessica and I don’t have it all figured out. That’s not why we are here.

We are here because we’ve made a lot of mistakes, we’ve let a lot of our lives pass us by without paying attention. And we are determined to claim the time we have left. Whether it’s 5 or 50 years. And because we don’t know we want to always prepared to make the most of it.

Life isn’t always perfect either, we aren’t promising that. So don’t hear this as some scheme to a perfect house, job, kids, marriage, etc. Nope – it’s going to take work. But it will be the most important work of your life. Because that’s exactly what it is. And boy, it is rewarding.
