About this episode
Stop chasing happiness - it is a trap. Stop living your life for the future - it is a bigger trap.
If you treat your life like a means to an end, you will always be left with the same question:
"An end -- to what?"
The novelty of life is that it is both fleeting and the only thing we will ever know. & The relentless pursuit for the meaning of it will only lead you to eclipsing your right to live it.
So live.
Let this episode serve as your Wake Up Call to shift your perspective - from dreaming and reaching for a life of abundance to stepping into creation and experiencing the beautiful duality of every moment.
We are here to feel!! To live!! To be! To create! The only pre-requisite is that you are alive and well.
Stop letting your conditions control the narrative that you create.
