The Renaissance

What is the Renaissance?

It's not the renaissance of the old me, it's the renaissance of my spirit & purpose.

Was the renaissance of the 1400's - 1700's a rebirth of the Greek or Roman empires?

No, it was the rebirth of humanism, derived from the rediscovery of classical Greek philosophy, which manifested in art, architecture, politics, science and literature.

Thus, my renaissance isn't the rebirth of the failed Entrepreneur of the 2000's.  This blog is not called "The Return of the Addict".

The greeks brought to life the philosophy of the human spirit, what we were, and how the universe works.  Then, with the fall of the classical ages, came the dark ages, where reality was people looking out for themselves and kings caring more about their kingdoms than the human spirit.

My reality changed in 2011 & 2012 when my Mastery product failed to launch and I experienced the fall of my sponsorship.  The financial freedom I was riding on ran out, my Maslow's hierarchy became unstable, and my "classical ages" of learning and embracing entrepreneurship and business ownership in place of college and career fell permanently, never to rise again.

That person, that time, the days of my early twenties education are over and gone forever, like the ancient Greeks or the ancient Roman Empire.  Then came my dark ages, where I had to look out myself and just get by, I cared more about my survival and independence.  Just think of how much Firefly resonated with me.

However -- like the renaissance reborn the ideas of the ancients -- so too will this renaissance reborn the ideas of the original entrepreneur period.  Sleep Mastery shall return to life, How to Cure Insomnia will be born, articles, forum posts, and youtube videos will start circling again, sales letters and email lists will return.

This is the rebirth of branding & traffic, copy writing & conversion, emailing & a back-end list of leads.

With that, it is the rebirth of my greatest project in life.  My baby that I take care of, feed, strengthen, and make grow.  My purpose -- the reason I get up in the morning & the thing that captures my imagination and spirit at night.

Those long hours pacing back and forth, fantasizing about what I would do with seemingly limitless money and freedom -- THAT spirit -- THAT is what is being is reborn.  That is my personal renaissance.
