Stop Following Expectations. Start Following Yourself.

Have you ever stayed somewhere, a job, a relationship, a version of yourself, not because it felt right, but because it paid the bills or because it’s what you were supposed to do?

My friend Spencer West has. And what he did next is one of the most quietly courageous things I’ve heard in a long time.

Spencer was born with a genetic condition that led to the amputation of both legs before he was five. He came out as gay when the world around him said that wasn’t an option. He spent years in a career that looked great from the outside and felt completely hollow on the inside.

And then, one day, he said enough, and he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. On his hands. To raise clean water for thousands of people.

What got me was the Alchemist quote he shared at the end of our conversation (you’ll hear it — just stay with us to the close).

And the reminder that the universe was calling the whole time. He just had to pick up.

Be sure to listen to the calls you’re getting from the universe, and please, always be kind, gentle, and loving with yourself.

 

About Spencer West

Spencer West is a motivational speaker, content creator, and author of Breaking Free: Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself. Born with a genetic condition that led to the amputation of both legs before age five, Spencer spent years navigating a world full of expectations that were never his — until he finally stopped pretending and started listening to his soul. In 2012, he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro on his hands, raising clean water for 12,500 people in East Africa. Today he travels the world helping others ask the questions that change everything: Why am I here? And what would it look like to actually break free?
