My comfort zone was my ‘doing’ side. Understanding how to balance my life between doing and being took me long time, a really really long time.

“Vision quest? Never heard of it,” was my initial response when introduced to the idea.

What does it entail? In essence, it's a 24-hour meditation, an immersion into nature, but in reality, it's a profound spiritual odyssey.

My past in retail taught me a valuable lesson: the power of basics and simplicity. So, when I decided to apply that same rule to my personal life, a brand new way of life opened to me.

Confession time: I often tossed around the idea of having my own business. But truth be told, I was clueless about the ‘How’ and ‘What’. So this lingering thought remained at the early stage of a very vague dream, like a wishful whisper: ‘I wish I had my own business’.

Developing my awareness of what is, made me realize that I was very sensitive to others' emotions, to the point that I could feel their emotions in my own body.

Happiness is not an eternal smile,​

It isn't an unbroken line of joyful experiences without errors.​

Happiness is to live fully,​

It is to choose to be the best version of oneself,​

Embarking on the journey of personal growth, I've learned that my most significant ongoing lesson is compassion.

Have you ever heard that we change every 7 years? A new ‘Me’ at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35…. It got me thinking, it's better to choose the right 'Me' at these crucial junctures in life then…

What is listening?

If not perking up one’s ear

Listening

Getting out of the head

To reach the heart’s sphere

And find happiness near

I have many dreams, so do you.

Let’ s make them come true.

Transforming your life and finding true happiness is within your reach.

Spirituality, a word, and world I have struggled to understand for a very long time. I am a Cartesian and a sceptic. I have no religious education. Science is the truth. I believe what I see.

How long have I focused on what I wanted to have in my life and contemplated various strategies to attain those desires? While this approach might eventually lead to success, I've stumbled upon a shortcut— a golden principle I wish I had known from an early age.

Why on earth is everyone asking me about the weather in London lately? I must admit, I've never been a fan of small talk revolving around the weather; it used to annoy me to no end.

I often found myself stuck in my mind, making assumptions, trying to make decisions, imagining all options, assessing pros and cons etc. Everything was spinning in my head, leaving me undecided and torn, gradually moving from annoyance to permanent frustration.

Another challenge I faced was verbalizing my truth. I was always very scared of being judged or evoking strong emotions in others with my words.

“Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?”

As I ventured through the labyrinth of life, searching for answers to the fundamental question, "Who am I?" I found an unexpected source of guidance and illumination – people.

When I started to pay attention to feelings and thoughts, extraordinary came to my reality.

The fun part of embracing the unknown with an open mind is that it led me to play games.

Ah, the rational and achiever level. That's where my consciousness used to be stuck. Picture me, a scientific, independent, and competitive individual, making decisions based on evidence and data. But you know what? Being human is so much more than that.

Finding my life purpose was something I always struggled with. I could never pinpoint it or find genuine satisfaction in my discoveries.
