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.

#Acceptance is knowing it's more important to be where you are than to cling to where you were or where you hope to be.

If we look at life as this journey of growth, then there is no regret. There are only lessons and progress, and we can't blame ourselves for not having the tools we have now before we were able to develop those tools.

Nobody is perfect.
No one has a perfect life.
No one's a perfect person.
We're all doing our best.
We all make mistakes.
There's no reason to be harder on yourself than you would be on anyone else.
Go easy on yourself.
You're worth it.

That story in your mind, it's the rough draft, it's malleable. And if you use your wisdom, if you can see the many layers, you can carve out Michelangelo's David. He himself said the statue was always there in the block of marble, but no one else could see it.

Whether we're here for one day or 100 years, every breath is a gift.
We had life, and it was precious. And the only difference is how fully present we were for those moments.

If you have read my books, listened to my podcast, or watched my videos, you already know how central meditation is to everything I share. I speak about it often because I have seen — personally and repeatedly — how deeply it changes the way we experience life.
Many of you write to me with questions:
How do I meditate?
What if my mind doesn’t settle?
What if it doesn’t work for me?
What if I simply can’t do it?
This challenge exists for exactly those questions.
I know that everyone can meditate — from any country, rich or poor, abled or differently-abled, religious or nonreligious, the busy and the even busier. But meditation only begins to make sense when it becomes a lived experience, not just an idea. When we start practicing — gently and consistently — we begin to notice real, tangible changes in how we think, feel, and respond to life.
Over the next 2.5 months, we will meditate together. I will address your doubts, confusion, and resistance around meditation. If you have any questions — no matter how basic or repetitive they may feel — reply to the newsletter you will receive. I will answer them and include those answers in future editions so others can learn alongside you. If you haven’t subscribed yet, make sure you do to participate in the challenge. Link in comment

So let’s stop thinking about meditation.
Let’s start practicing it.

We've all been there. We think things are going to go one way, and then life throws us a curveball. We try to plan, control, and predict every little thing, but this universe has bigger plans than our little ideas.
We will all have moments in our lives that we wish had gone differently. The real question is what we do next.
Do we learn from it?
Do we stay open to the possibilities this new path offers?
Or do we let regret and despair take over?
So much of human suffering comes from our inability to let go —
of the past,
of worries about the future,
and even of the thoughts that pass through our mind.
Instead of watching all things come and go, we cling to them.
My new book, The Guidebook to Being Human, is about how to navigate these moments, let go with awareness, and rise above what keeps us stuck. Available on Amazon.
