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.

It's important to remember that there is more love than hate in this world, more good than bad, and more generosity than greed - even if it's hard to see and rarely makes the evening news.

When we are confident in our #vulnerability, that is true confidence because when we are guarding our vulnerability, our confidence is shaky and unstable.

We all have limits, a certain capacity to hold space for others. We owe it to ourselves to know those limits — to notice when we’re just trying to please, or putting someone else’s emotions above our own.

If we are constantly attached to a future moment, we will miss the journey. When we miss the journey, we are more likely to miss our destination.

Who’s your best friend?
Did you say yourself? You should, because there’s no one more important to you than you.
You may think there is, but you can only experience other people through your own state of consciousness. So your state of consciousness is the most important determining factor for your relationships and your happiness in life.
So, how do you treat yourself? How do you talk to yourself? Are you loving and kind, or critical and harsh?
Do you spend quality time with yourself, uninterrupted and undistracted, or do you avoid yourself?
Do you dread spending extended alone time with just yourself, or do you love it?
The answers to these questions are the real measure of your happiness.
In my latest Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter podcast episode (link in comment), I talk about the nature of our relationship with ourselves. I share 3 simple but powerful steps for improving that relationship.
I talk about a practical tool that a shaman in Peru taught me for giving ourselves some much-needed self-love. And I share how we can deepen our relationship with ourself in a way that improves our relationships with everyone around us.
Remember, if the source of happiness was on top of the world's tallest mountain or at the bottom of the deepest ocean, it would have been discovered long ago and everyone would make a pilgrimage to this place. But instead, the universe put that source of happiness in the last place anyone would think to look — within.

Every single aspect of who we are will change.
Our personality from childhood to old age will look very different.
Our bodies will not be made of any of the same cells at old age that they had at a young age.
The memories and senses will dim; some will go altogether.
But there is an unchanging #consciousness underneath those things that allows us to perceive change at all. Because if our consciousness was constantly changing too, we would have no perception or experience of stillness.

Anything in the material world is subject to change which means they are illusions. They are temporary forms we become attached to because we don't see the decay happening before our eyes. And so, we fall for the illusion of permanence. It is this attachment to temporary phenomena that causes all suffering.

To fear death, to worry for loved ones who have died or may die, is to misunderstand a fundamental truth: consciousness is eternal.
We will grieve, we will miss our lost ones but we can take some solace knowing that they live on in us, they live on in life itself, and that this magical universe will keep unfolding in its perfect wisdom and design.

Everything in our lives has an opposite. When we're happy, the opposite is sad. When we're sad, the opposite is happy. Peace is the only state of mind we can develop that we can actually live in all the time because it is the very center of our being.

Yes, great things will change. But the beauty is that the bad things will also change. So we just make a practice of constantly welcoming this ever-changing moment, enjoying the good times when they’re here, and knowing that the bad times won't last.
