I Got Seduced
Hey Friend,
I got seduced the last couple of months..
Not by something obvious. Actually something that most people avoid talking about. By something that felt important to research — and even a responsible thing to do as a human being inhabiting this world. 🌎
The news. The wars. The new laws. The taxes. The corruption. The system and how it operates.
I told myself: you need to be aware. You need to understand what's happening. If there is something to know, then i want to know. I want to know the truth of things..
And I wasn't wrong. Awareness matters. Making the unconscious conscious matters. Bringing the the darkness into the light.
But somewhere along the way, awareness turned into obsession. I was spending more time in the rabbit hole than in my own life. More time reacting to the external world than building the internal one. My internal world started to reflect the external world, while it is my core-belief that I change the world with my internal world. 💫
I stopped feeling like myself. I started to feel chaotic, overwhelmed and anxious.
Are You Still Sailing Your Own Course?
Now I'm in the middle of my May holidays.
First real pause after a stretched, stressful first quarter. And in the quiet, I'm asking myself the questions that actually matter to me –– questions that keep coming back to me, time and time again:
Am I sailing the course of my soul? ⛵️
Am I living the dreams within me? 🦄
Is my life energy a burning fire right now? 🔥
A few weeks ago –– Honest answer? Not fully. Not yet. Not at the moment. Often my answer to these questions is "YES, I AM!" –– at that moment not really. But asking the question is already the return. Already the awareness in the Here & Now and the turning of the perspective towards the essence of myself.
Here's what I keep coming back to:
The external world will never give you peace. It will never give you satisfaction. It will never give you fulfilment. It is designed to distract you, create fear and take your focus away from your power.
Not because the world isn't real. But because those things — peace, satisfaction, fulfilment — don't live out there. They never did.
They live in your alignment. In your relationship with yourself. In the moments where you stop reacting and start choosing consciously what to spend your energy and love on.
Every moment, you have influence. Over yourself. Over your state. Over the people around you.
That's where your power is. That's where it's always been and always will be.
Your Practice This Month
This month, one practice:
Come back to your own life.
Not dramatically. Just intentionally.
Put off the television. Put down the phone. Ask yourself the three questions I asked myself this week:
- Am I sailing the course of my soul? ⛵️ ––> if not, what is 1 step i can take today in sailing my own course again?
- Am I living the dreams within me? 🦄 ––> if not, what is the first step i can take today to start living that dream?
- Is my life energy a burning fire right now? 🔥 ––> if not, what does my soul and my heart need right now to starting that inner fire again?
If the answer to any of them is not really — that's not a problem. That's information. And information is the beginning of change.
The Golden Life isn't built out there. It's built in here. ❤️🔥 One moment, one choice, one aligned action at a time. And once the world within is built –– the outer world will follow.
