Kevin Kravcak - Realty Resolutions

Allow me to introduce to you the EntreFlaneur.......I've been struggling with explaining to people the life/work/travel philosophy I've been following since 2021. I recently came across this and it's like this guy has been living in my brain..... link to website and newsletter in comments.

Many years ago, in 19th-century Paris, there was a character known as a “flâneur.”

The flâneur was an ambivalent figure of urban affluence. The word translates to 'stroller', 'lounger', 'saunterer', or 'loafer'.

The flâneur wandered the streets of Paris, detached from society. He had no purpose other than to observe.

What made the flâneur special was his presence. He had an ability to simply exist - without attachments, ego, or identity to distort his awareness. He was a master of the Now.

Paul Gavarni, Le Flâneur, 1842

Fast forward to today, and this character has largely been forgotten.

The current in-vogue persona is the hustler. The entrepreneur. The go-getter-make-it-happen executionists.

The entrepreneur is the opposite of the flâneur. He’s building society instead of observing it, always plotting his next move instead of resting in the now.

These days, it is the thing to be an entrepreneur. Everyone wants to be one. The word is even starting to lose it's meaning.

Those who've walked the entrepreneur path know it is much more nuanced than straight "hustle and grind".

There are people that love building but also observing, working and chilling, moving society forward and then taking a step back to enjoy their creations.

This is the Entreflâneur, a brand-new 21st-century character who expertly merges the dichotomy of work and leisure.

🌟 Embrace Perspective 🌟

Ever felt like you're on the edge, about to give in to life's curveballs? I hear you. Last week, my car engine blew up, sending me spiraling financially and mentally. Talk about timing, right? It's frustrating, feeling like you're inches away from success, only to face unexpected setbacks.

But just when I thought I had it rough, life showed me otherwise. A dear friend endured a series of heartbreaking losses – girlfriend, roommate, beloved pet, and job, all gone within days. It hit hard. Yet, amidst my own chaos, I found the strength to offer him support, realizing I needed it just as much.

Life's been a rollercoaster lately, no denying that. But I refuse to surrender. Adversity shapes us, and I've learned that the hard way. Every challenge, every hurdle, is a stepping stone to growth. The universe speaks, and change is brewing. I'm grateful for the journey – the highs, lows, and everything in between.

In the midst of chaos, a silver lining emerges. I've been quietly crafting something in real estate, a passion project on the verge of launch. Sure, there'll be obstacles, but I'm ready. Strangely enough, my car breaking down might just be the nudge I needed to leap into what lies ahead.

And to my incredible support system – my rock through it all. Your unwavering belief fuels my fire. Together, we'll rise from these setbacks stronger than ever.
