Starting the Self authoring Program

Jordan, eat your heart out

I was a shit writer in school. It is not that I could not write well, I think it had to do with my lack of patience. I could never wait long enough for my thoughts to come out, so everything got squished down into a much smaller written space than maybe it should have. What should have taken seven or eight sentences, I wrote in about 2 or 3. I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Before video games, band, work, and girls ruled my life I could read “The Hardy Boys” mystery books until the sun came up. Never was a good writer though.

When Podcasting became relevant I would listen to the likes of Joe Rogan, Jocko Willink, and The Minimalists and they all either had writers on or were writers themselves. I never thought that writers where actually that cool. I finally came across the famous Dr. Jordan Peterson. I am pretty sure it was on Joe’s podcast and I fell in love with the guys philosophy right away. I bought his books, I listened to various other podcasts he was on and really just liked what he had to say. Then again, I never actually finished “12 Rules For Life” it is still sitting on my shelf collecting dust. I have brought it on a number of flights and vacations thinking I will finish it and never actually have.

Jordan has talked about his future authoring program quite a lot over the various podcast he has been on. I never actually payed to close attention to that section of the podcast because I was always dwelling over the “be a monster part”. I am a fairly large person who likes to be physical, work out, show off my strength, and just work hard with my body. That has always come easy to me. I on regular occasions will carry a 100lb sand bag up the hill at my local park with an elevation gain of close to 500ft. I trained hard so that when the time came I could be the monster that Dr. Peterson said I could be.

Now I can be all the monster I want to be but I no longer am gainfully employed and have not had any luck finding a new job. I am a believer and have asked God what to do next and heard nothing. I have gone on small adventures of things I like doing hoping to find the next step in my life path and found nothing. Today, I listened to a podcast with Chris Williamson and Alex Hormozi. Alex started going off about starting the next big thing for yourself and rambled off a bunch of platforms to get started on. Substack was one of those platforms.

I feel like I have a lot to say in life. I was raised by wonderfully flawed parents and have siblings that drive me up a wall, but, there is no greater love than Foster Love. I have the worlds greatest woman to call my wife and she supports me to no end. I have a lot of life experiences and views that I feel like are not uncommon for the uncommon people but could be inspiring for the common people. I hope to bring together words that will bring something out in me that could make me a greater person but also add value to the rest of the world.

I am a shit writer. I have bought and started the self authoring program by Dr. Jordan Peterson because I realized I am not the Monster that he was talking about. I am a delusional guy who runs away from his problems by getting after it in the physical sense. I want to be a better communicator so I could maybe make a go at this thing and add some more value to this world. So lets hope you see some better writing in the future.
