Silence. Depth. Patience. Sitting with one thought has become incredibly challenging in a world dominated by mindless notifications. We’ve put multitasking on a pedestal only to discover that there is no such thing as doing two things simultaneously. Switching between tasks quickly, juggling the realm of binary code without much thought, has led us down a path where the vast majority of people struggle with all kinds of mental issues. FOCUS, a fundamental pillar in life, business, health, relationships, and many other areas, has lost its appeal. Scrolling until your thumbs are numb and your brain is fried is the new thing. The consequences of this shift are devastating. What we see today is the tip of the iceberg. Will the narrative crumble? Will we remember how to turn inward and pull wisdom from inside? This is entirely up to each and every one of us. It’s one decision away. However, we have to be brave enough to choose wisely, commit, and walk the path. Learn to Reverse-Engineer Life-Cycles Before you continue to scatter your energy and pour your precious life force onto meaningless projects, objects, and conversations, sit down in a quiet place and reverse-engineer your life. Life has taught us to wear many hats. The number, color, and weight of our hats depend on which cycle we are in. In spring, we learn to walk, talk, play, and discover the very basics of what we call life. Most of the time, we are taken care of, we’re fed, dressed, and protected by family and friends. It’s the cycle where we learn how to craft our unique hats and wear them with pride. Summer is the time when we ‘go out to hunt’. We work hard, start businesses, climb the corporate ladder, travel the world, and create a family. The hats we wear increase in size, and with that, responsibility takes new shapes and forms. Autumn is the season where we reap the rewards IF we planted the seeds in spring and took care of our beautiful garden in the summer. It’s the time when we delve deeper into relationships and give things in life a fresh perspective. The hats we wear in this life cycle are rich, albeit very colorful, through the skills, knowledge, and experiences we have gathered over the years. In winter, the hats become lighter, albeit warmer, as you wear them with pride, irrespective of other people’s good opinion. It’s the time when you give away your hats and share the wisdom gathered under the hood with those willing to listen and who appreciate your tidbits. The amazing benefit of doing this “tough” exercise, which involves facing one’s deepest fears, shadows, and regrets, lies in the insight we can gain, which translates into changing our course if we notice our ship is off track. The earlier in life you do this exercise and the more often you sit down to course-correct, the bigger the impact it will have. Minimizing regrets while living a fulfilled, joyful, and blissful life and adhering to one’s passion fills our batteries with energy. Strip Away the Noise. Sit with Yourself Consistently. The noise in the “outside realm” is set to get louder if we don’t find inner peace. Whether we like it or not, we create our reality, and if we don’t like what we see in the mirror, it’s up to us to change the input. Pick your thoughts and battles wisely. Learn to sit in silence and get to know yourself. The higher your addiction to gadgets, notifications, and distractions, the more difficult it will be to sit with one thought. Do it anyway. Teach yourself what you forgot, namely, to focus on what’s most important to you. You’re the captain of your life, so think and act accordingly. Attend a Live Webinar. Schedule a Consultation.

The outer world is a mirror image of your inner world. Your thoughts create material things. Work on yourself, change your identity and beliefs, and observe the changes that occur in your external environment. We’ve heard these nuggets of wisdom many times before. They’re easy to grasp; however, if we’re honest with ourselves, it takes a lifetime to master them. One of the biggest challenges we face during our short time on planet Earth is remembering who we are and getting crystal clear on what it is that we truly want. There’s nothing magical or mystical about clarity, specificity, and focus, and yet, once we nail these essential pieces of life’s jigsaw puzzle, the results we attain are extraordinary. We waste countless hours, weeks, months, and years listening to the outside noise while desperately trying to make sense of our inner chaos. Although nothing adds up, we continue our discovery journey, hoping to find answers to our burning questions in the external world, only to end up disappointed, disillusioned, and failing to pursue the dreams we had as children. Eventually, we wake up to realize that all we’ve been looking for was buried inside of us. You’re Here to Create Here we are on this majestic blue-green ball, wondering, shoeless and clueless, following trends and hypes until we get fed up with the nonsense we project into our lives. Out of convenience and comfort, some individuals play other people’s tunes until the end of their lives. Then we have brave souls who decide to mold consciousness and give their existence a spin that resonates with their unique blueprint. Regurgitating the ‘consume or create’ mantra won’t induce a change in our behavior and way of living unless we understand the deeper meaning behind it. Lately, the word ‘creation’ has been infused with flavors of manifestation, meditation, and other new-age terms, convincing a vast number of people that spectacular outcomes can only be achieved in a state of flow. While the advice might sound nice and dandy, a subtle rebrand of the following quintessential ingredients to squeezing the best out of you and achieving greatness has taken place: action, discipline, willpower, persistence, determination The above-mentioned have become the no-go push list, according to certain spiritual gurus, which blocks things from coming into your life. We live in a world of duality, where everything is characterized by frequency, vibration, and energy. Both Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein have taught us about the importance of manipulating energy to achieve what we want and desire in life. Without action, no reaction. While operating from the zero point is what we should aim for to get maximum results with little to no effort, achieving this state requires constant listening, learning, adjusting, and remembering. The pendulum swings, and it’s up to us to gather information from the opposite sides of the spectrum, decode it correctly, and apply it to design, aka create our lives. Become Who and What You Want To excel in mathematics at the Olympics, I had to master sophisticated algebra and geometry sequences and formulas. To become a rescue diver, I had to study for the exams and learn to juggle with uncertainty and dive under difficult conditions. To run the marathon, I had to strengthen my knees, which have suffered injuries in the past. This is just a small snapshot of what I’ve ticked off from my dreams list. What I realized in the process is that it has never been about the dream or goal. To achieve something new, I had to shed layers and grow into someone else. I had to acquire new skills, knowledge, and experiences. I had to expand my comfort zone, build new relationships, change my beliefs, perceptions, and perspective over and over and over again. It’s an ongoing process of shedding layers and transmuting energy, and I’m perfectly aware that continuing to tick off my dream list while adding new dreams requires deep...

I started my journey as a creative writer three years ago, although I’ve written my first fiction story when I was seven years old.

Running was never part of my game plan, although I’ve been an athlete all my life.
