Every Sunday, I go on my morning hikes in this gorgeous state park. As I wander through the forest with my headphones on, I listen to some amazing meditation music, and I can feel the weight of the world melting away. These hikes have become my sanctuary, a place where I can shed all my baggage, negativity, and heavy thoughts.


Each hike presents a unique experience. The journey up the hill is always different,it has always carried an outer body feeling. along my journey I meet various creatures and traverse different terrains, each nook and cranny revealing something unique. One day, though, I found myself feeling particularly down. I was stressed about some new financial obligations and desperately needed more resources to meet them.

As I approached a park bench by a beautiful lake, I decided to sit down and take in the view. The serene water, the lush trees, and the friendly birds provided a much-needed respite. I began to focus on gratitude—appreciating the landscape, the shade from the trees, and the birds' company.


As I slowed life down and looked around, I noticed something remarkable. The animals and creatures in the forest seemed so content, so balanced. The birds flew gracefully, without any hint of chaos. The spiders moved with calm precision, the ants were busily content, and the butterflies were enormous and beautiful.


In that peaceful moment, my inner voice spoke to me. It said, " can't you see that everything in the forest is balanced? Nothing competes here. Everything works in harmony." And it hit me—that's how the world is supposed to be. Just like the forest, where no tree competes with another, and the ants work together happily, every bird flies with grace, knowing its needs are met. The turtle and the frog coexist peacefully, and the deer graze joyfully.

It's powerful to stop in your tracks and recognize that something greater than yourself offers you a new perspective on life. Lack first begins as a concept that we first agree to, and then lack begins to take on a life of it's own. If you free yourself from thoughts of scarcity, you can live in abundance. Living in abundance and maintaining a healthy mindset—that's the goal, that's the key, I strive for this slow down daily.


Living with a healthy mindset, embracing abundance—this is the goal, the key to a fulfilled life. Our thoughts and words shape our reality. The fruits of our labor are directly influenced by the seeds we plant in our minds.



So, let’s cultivate a mindset of abundance. Let’s live in harmony with ourselves and the world around us.


Peace and love to you all.


Eating the Fruits of a Lacking Mindset

I want to share a deeply personal journey with you all, one that I believe many of you might resonate with. Not too long ago, I faced a massive realization that shook the very foundation of my life. Everything I thought I had secured, every paradigm I meticulously created, seemed to crumble around me. The urge to buy a huge house and the drive to live a life working towards material achievements were thwarted at every turn. It felt as if the very success I had envisioned was built on a horribly false foundation.


As I witnessed my dreams falling apart, one painful revelation after another, I realized that the things I thought would make me happy were mere illusions. The possessions, the accolades, the outward symbols of success—they lost their value in my eyes. I was living to purchase things that ultimately didn't bring fulfillment.



During this breakdown, I started to see life in a new light. I understood that happiness wasn't something external that I could acquire. Instead, it was a choice I had to make for myself, a conscious effort that required introspection and acceptance. I had to see life as it was, not as I wished it to be, and embrace it fully.

Creating a space of peace became my priority. It allowed me to discover the potential of my new life. I envisioned a life where my heart's desires aligned with my newfound consciousness. This vision became my guiding star, and I work diligently and consciously towards it. This purposeful living had to be something I was passionate about, something worth the blood, sweat, and tears because it held deep meaning and purpose.

This realization and shift in mindset opened up my spirituality in such a profound way that I can never be the same. I see the liberation that comes with doing the work and clearing out what no longer serves my soul's highest good.


I encourage you to hold on to hope, even when things seem hopeless. We are all going through breakdowns of some sort, but remember, these breakdowns can lead to breakthroughs. They are meant to heal what is broken, give us confidence where we lack courage, and lift us up when we feel downtrodden.


Look at life from a different perspective because that is where insight and wisdom lie. Embracing hope when life feels hopeless lead me on the journey to know thyself, no matter how difficult it may be, know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.


Peace and love to you all.

Life has a way of guiding us through unexpected paths, often filled with challenges that test our very core. Recently, I found myself navigating through a particularly rough patch, where everything I had built seemed to crumble before my eyes. In the midst of this turmoil, I realized the profound importance of facing my fears and embracing vulnerability during times of great challenge.


For as long as I can remember, stability has been a cornerstone of my existence. Financial freedom, spiritual love, and stability formed the foundation upon which I built my life, providing me with a sense of inner peace and security. Yet, as I grew older and faced increasingly frequent challenges, I discovered that these securities were not as steadfast as I once believed. They had been serving to keep me mentally stable rather than spiritually grounded.

As financial burdens grew heavier and life’s challenges became more relentless, I began to question the very nature of the stability I had worked so hard to achieve. It became clear that my pursuit of security had been more about maintaining an external facade than nurturing my inner self. This realization hit hard, forcing me to confront the fears I had long kept hidden.


In this state of vulnerability, I started to share my experiences openly. I documented my struggles, my fears, and the moments when I felt utterly lost. To my surprise, this act of sharing became a source of healing, not just for myself but for others who resonated with my journey. By being open about my challenges, I found a community of individuals who, like me, were navigating their own storms.


We often walk around with an invisible weight of shame, conditioned to hide our perceived failures and vulnerabilities. Yet, there is immense strength in embracing our breakdowns, for they are the crucible through which our greatest breakthroughs are forged. By letting go of pride and ego, and allowing ourselves to be humbled, we pave the way for emotional and spiritual growth.


The journey from breakdown to breakthrough is not an easy one. It requires a willingness to face the uncomfortable truths about ourselves and to let go of the material and financial crutches we cling to. But in doing so, we open ourselves up to profound personal transformation. Each challenge I faced, each moment of vulnerability, became a stepping stone towards a more fulfilled and emotionally stable life.

Through my experiences, I have learned that breakdowns are often necessary for our soul’s highest good. They shake us out of stagnation and propel us towards evolution. My hope is that by sharing my story, you too will find the courage to embrace your own challenges, to be vulnerable, and to seek the deeper spiritual growth that lies beyond the facade of stability.


Breakdowns are not a sign of weakness, but a testament to our resilience and our capacity for growth. They remind us that true security comes not from external sources, but from within. And it is through this journey of facing our fears and embracing vulnerability that we find our way to a more authentic, fulfilling life.


Remember, the path to your greatest breakthrough often lies through the heart of your greatest breakdown. Embrace it, for it is in these moments that we truly discover who we are and what we are capable of becoming.
