I also know these questions can be overwhelming for people who do feel extra lost or don’t think there’s any way to change or get unstuck.

There’s always a way - a marathon is run step by step, and even if you can’t take a step, you can work up to it and be there eventually.

I recently started reading this book called The Soul of Money and it talks about how most of us trade our souls and what we really want to do in order to make money. So many of our thoughts and actions tread in the river of scarcity, both those who don’t have much money and those who have an abundance of it. No answers yet but it’s been a really interesting read so far and I think very aligned with this idea that we need to check in with our souls and what is most meaningful to us.

Everyone’s process is different and not everyone needs to go into hermit mode for as long as I like to - but regardless of what it looks like for you: it’s important to check in about if how you’re currently living is still how you want to be living.

I see a tendency for people to just slip into autopilot or choose what makes the most sense on paper VS actually checking in with what they deeply want, which I’ve found can even change as we learn more and more about ourselves and how we’ve been conditioned.

Follow along as I learn how to live more meaningfully and inspire others to do the same 🤍

exactly as Jai said in above comment Max, and it was also amazing to be fleeting! professionally, they will say we were procrastinating, a failure etc but I realized that the thought process differs across all human being / ventures and we are taking time to metamorphosis our ideas, evaluating and figuring our next steps. so essentially fleeting is good, and I agree we started to realize what's really important to us at that very moment. being scared is good too!

Thanks for the reminder, Max! 🙌🏾 Truth be told, I've been flying on autopilot for many moons. 😬 Recently, I've been reminded that our time is fleeting and limited. 🥺 Yesterday, for the first time in a long while, I actually made an effort to go visit my siblings even though my social battery was on zero. 😒 As you said in the video, it was definitely worth it. 🙏🏿
