I have one purpose in life: to make this world happier, more loving, and more peaceful. After all, the more peace we bring into our lives, the more #peace we bring into the world.
Having seen so many around me suffering from stress, addiction, suicidal thoughts, anxiety and depression, I decided to embark upon a 9-year journey that would take me to over 35 countries living with and learning from shamans, gurus, monks and tribes. I studied 16 religions and spiritualities, and spent 50 days meditating in total solitude, all in an effort to discover the secrets to a peaceful mind.
If you’re ready to let go of your negative thoughts and the baggage that is weighing you down, if you’re ready for a life filled with joy, purpose and meaning, please join me on the journey within.

When we are fully present,
not lost in the dream world of our thinking mind,
we become fully alive.
It's like cleaning a pair of dirty glasses
and seeing God's magnificence in crystal clarity.
The miracle of existence is always happening before our very eyes.
Every moment is sacred and fleeting.
How do we honor a painter’s painting?
By ignoring it and paying no attention?
Or by looking very closely in wonder and awe?
What do you think?

Although we live in a world that praises hard work, we must remember the immense value in pausing, taking a step back, and gaining some perspective and wisdom. The space we create in our lives and in our minds is the space where ideas can enter, insights can be made, and understanding can be developed.

A runner is only at the finish line for a fraction of a second. If we can’t be happy during the journey, we will never be happy. It doesn’t matter if we come in first place or last place. If we enjoy the journey, life will be good.

It is unfortunate that one rude person in the room can ruin the night for everyone else, but we must still remember that that room was also filled with kind people.

When you feel bored of a city, job, relationship, or any other thing, notice every little thing that's different instead of every little thing that's the same, because every moment is different from the last andthere is a beautiful uniqueness in each vibrant moment.

Try not to carry all your ambitions and goals on your shoulders right now. Even dreams can become burdens that weigh us down. We can’t survive every moment all at once, but we can survive this moment. And this one.

There is no such thing as a failure. You might catch Michael Jordan on a bad day, missing every shot, and looking like a real failure on the court. But if you were to stop watching, you would think that was the end of his story

All you have to do is take one breath at a time, take one step at a time, and take one day at a time. You don’t need to carry your entire future on your shoulders every moment. Just this moment, because that’s all there is.

Serious question.
Are you generally happy most of the time?
I don’t mean when you’re
scrolling,
watching,
listening,
reading,
dating,
working,
eating,
drinking
or sleeping.
But between all that stuff, when you’re alone with your thoughts.
When you put the phone away,
turn off the podcast or music,
close your eyes
and sit with yourself,
how do you feel?
What about after 5 minutes? 10 minutes? An hour?
This is what I call the Baseline Happiness Test.
Of course we think we’re happy when we’re watching our favorite show,
eating our favorite food, drinking and hanging out.
But that’s how we feel when we’re distracted from ourselves, our thoughts and our feelings.
Our baseline determines how much we ENJOY our favorite things, and not just how much we NEED our favorite things to escape from ourselves. It determines how we feel when something doesn’t go our way, like when we get stuck in traffic, or when a flight gets canceled.
We cannot be truly happy if we are always running away from ourself and the present moment.
Happiness isn't about your job, bank account, house or spouse.
It's about how happy you are when you take all those things away
and are left to sit with yourself and your thoughts.
When we need distractions to avoid our thoughts, it’s impossible to be content, present, and we’re always thinking about what’s next.
➡️ Life becomes all about consumption.
We become a slave to our phone, food, entertainment, work, gambling or substances,
anything to keep our minds distracted.
True happiness doesn’t come from running away from ourselves.
We find it when we look within, make peace with ourselves, and shine a light on our shadow.
The problem is, most of us weren’t taught how to do that, how to calm a chaotic mind, or how to let go of our mistakes, regrets, trauma and fear, and how to finally forgive ourselves.
We take 10,000 steps a day for our body.
Why not the same for our mind and heart?

You might not see any progregs for a long time.
But then suddenly out of nowhere, you'll notice how far you've truly come.
Be patient and enjoy the journey.
