The Choice Is Yours

 Subscribe Free  We have been sold the idea that happiness is a destination, something outside of us that must be earned, reached, or acquired. We were told that if we study, work hard, build a family, succeed, and accumulate possessions or status, happiness will follow. Yet for most people, it doesn’t. Or if it does, it appears briefly, only to fade again. Most of us have tasted happiness in moments: falling in love, achieving a goal, buying something new, receiving recognition, or feeling healthy and secure. These moments can feel powerful, sometimes lasting days, months, or even years. But they change. Circumstances shift. Something is lost. And happiness feels just out of reach once more. The mistake is not in enjoying these moments, but in confusing them with happiness itself. Pleasure, excitement, health, and success create emotional highs, not lasting happiness. If your happiness depends on something outside of you, it will always be temporary and fragile, constan...

Our Need to Pursuit

 Subscribe Free  Most of our lives are spent pursuing something. A title. A partner. A career. A possession. A version of success we were told would finally make us whole. From childhood we are trained to reach, to strive, to chase what seems just beyond us. Rarely do we pause long enough to ask what would happen if we stopped pursuing anything. At first, not pursuing can feel unsettling. Without a next goal, restlessness appears. Boredom surfaces. A quiet anxiety hums beneath the surface. Our culture calls this emptiness, but often it is space. And in that space, we begin to hear ourselves again. We begin to notice the subtle life that was always happening beneath the noise of constant becoming. Science shows much of our motivation runs on cycles of anticipation, reward, and emotional drop. We chase. We get or we miss. Then we crash. Then we chase again. Over time, life becomes an endless loop of “not yet.” But when we loosen our grip on constant pursuit, something soft...

The Year of the Horse

 Subscribe Free  As 2026 opens, the Year of the Horse arrives with a new pulse. Where the Year of the Snake (2025) moved through silence, the Horse moves through breath, muscle, and horizon. This is not a year of hidden transformation. It is a year of expression, momentum, and stepping into open light carrying the truth shaped in the dark. If the Snake taught us to shed what no longer fit, the Horse asks us to live freely inside what remains. The Horse does not question its right to run or apologize for its strength, presence, or fire. And neither should you. This year invites us to reclaim that same permission. To stop shrinking to meet old expectations. To stop dimming what has become clear within us. Freedom, authenticity, and uniqueness are no longer ideas to contemplate, but states to embody. The Horse moves not from urgency, but from life force. The Snake revealed that clarity is born in stillness. The Horse reveals that clarity is fulfilled in motion. Sometimes d...

Beneath the Surface

 Subscribe Free  Most people move through life as if floating on a wave, rarely questioning where it is carrying them. They follow the tides of society, fashion, and inherited beliefs, living as expected rather than consciously choosing their path. Days pass. Years pass. And beneath the movement, something essential often remains untouched. There is nothing inherently wrong with living this way. But two questions can awaken an entire life: Is this the life you truly want? Is this enough for you? If we are born, grow, reproduce, and die without awareness, we live little differently from any other creature. Yet unlike them, we carry a rare gift. We can reflect. We can choose. We can wake up. A bird fulfills its nature by being a bird. A dog lives fully as a dog. But humans often forget to ask what it truly means to be human. Many drift through existence chasing comfort, possessions, status, and distraction while the deeper layers of their being remain unexplored. We are n...
