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.

We can move forward from any mistakes. We can be freed from all regrets. And we can gain from both of them wisdom and courage. None of us are slaves to our past.
The fact is, notions of regret and mistake live only in the mind. We did not choose our circumstances or our brains. These self-imposed prisons are merely illusions we carry with us.
So many of us spend so much of our lives feeling regret for mistakes we've made in the past. It's part of life, to live and to learn.

For almost everyone, there is someone better than you at something and someone who is worse than you at something.
We don't need to measure ourselves against others. We just have to do what our hearts inspire us to do with love, joy and passion.

Wisdom can come from anywhere: spiritual texts, a fairytale or a friend. There is so much in the world to explore and learn from. When we look at many different sources of information, we can understand how they are connected, how they are different and how they are the same.
We can begin to see from different points of view and a great wisdom can arise that is broader than our own experience. We don’t have to believe everything we read and incorporate it into our lives, but we will always learn something.

Some people will believe rumors about you.
Some people will not.
We can try to explain ourselves, or we can simply let things pass naturally. Sometimes the most honest response is simply laughter and peace. What matters is that we stop expecting universal praise and stop fearing misunderstanding.
Life will always contain drama, unpredictability, conflict, and chaos.
And honestly, if everything always went exactly how we wanted, life would become unbearably boring. Human beings would eventually create drama just to escape the emptiness of perfection. Thankfully, life keeps things interesting.
So wear criticism like a badge of honor. Keep following your unique path. The only thing that truly matters is that you understand it. Be fully yourself in all your uniqueness, weirdness, and individuality. That is your most magnetic, most authentic, and most beautiful self.
And be grateful you are busy living your life while other people are busy commenting on others.

Every single person at some point in their life is either in need of someone to help lift them up, or is in a position to lift up others.
The most important gift we can give another human being is joy in whatever form that may be.
When you have joy, give joy. Help others experience it so that they may be able to pass it on to even more people.

What if every mistake was on purpose?
What if the universe made the illusion of a mistake appear to you because the alternative would have worked out worse?
Or because you weren’t ready for that path?
Or because something better awaited you through the “mistake?”
Or because you were meant to go in a different direction?
Isn’t it possible that in this miraculous universe, nothing is a mistake or an accident?
That, like the revolution of planets and galaxies, like the precision of every atom, everything that happens in our lives is happening perfectly, right on time, exactly as it’s supposed to and needs to? And wouldn’t living any other way, in fear and stress, be crazy?
What's one mistake in your life that actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise?

How do you keep living when the person who made life whole is suddenly gone?
When we experience deep loss, the world tells us to "move on" and "let go." But trying to erase or push away the love we feel often creates even more suffering.
A YouTube viewer once reached out to me, asking the exact question so many of us carry in quiet moments:
"Todd, I lost my soulmate. I know he is gone and am trying to let go. I have to let go or the grief will kill me. But how do you let go of love? Is it even possible because it is the only thing that hasn’t changed? My love for him is part of me."
Here is the truth: the healing process isn't actually about "letting go" of love. It is about learning to carry that love forward while living your own life.
Love remains an eternal part of the self. Your responsibility to them is to live—they would never want their memory to become a cage that keeps you from experiencing life.
Grief is just deep love with nowhere to go. Give yourself permission to feel the pain without letting it convince you that all is lost. Nothing is ever truly gone. Read the full post on the blog. Link in comments.

Why is the sky beautiful?
Why is every plant magnificent?
Why is every human, in all their flaws and all their striving and hard work and stressing…
—what is not beautiful about that journey of life?
To overcome.
To achieve.
And to live this unpredictable and wild story.
Everyone gets the miracle of life. And we are the center of our universe, which means that everywhere we look is a projection of that miracle of existence. We just don’t see it, because we’ve been told that life is ordinary.
– You Are the Magic Trick, new film, coming soon.
Look around you right now: what is one small, ordinary miracle in your life today? Tell me in the comments below.

Nobody is above me was never a claim of superiority. Read it again. It’s a refusal of the ranking itself. The ego needs the ladder to exist, because it needs to be standing somewhere on it. Confidence doesn’t care where the rungs are.
Nobody is above you,
nobody is below you,
and there is no ladder.
