I don’t know who you are or what culture you were raised in,
but I can tell you one thing for sure:
They lied to you too.
They taught you a false path to personal fulfillment based on:
- Money, power, and fame.
- Fancy houses, cars, and trips.
- The perfect body, an enviable spouse, and above-average children.
💡 Choosing this false path inevitably leads to pain, disconnection, and emptiness.
Unfortunately, many of us are choosing it—too many.
How can I tell?
By observing the devastating effects of this mistake everywhere.
How can we be living the right lives if we are increasingly:
- Anxious
- Depressed
- Addicted to social media, drugs, and medication
- Trapped in loneliness?
Not to mention, the unbridled consumerism, hookup culture, and the rising suicide rates among children and adolescents are alarming trends.

It doesn’t matter the country, its GDP, or the education level of its population.
We are increasingly failing as a society and as individuals.
We are lost and anxious,
numbing ourselves
with various forms of addiction
while craving
an external
miracle.
👉 WHEN THE MIND RULES, THE SOUL DEPRESSES
There is nothing inherently wrong with having power, money, and fame.
The problem arises when we believe these external achievements, driven by egoic desires, can nourish our souls and bring us fulfillment.
As Jim Carrey once said:
“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.”
Our true selves are governed by spiritual needs and aspirations, such as:
- Healing from personal and family traumas
- Finding our purpose in life
- Expanding our consciousness
- Connecting to the Source (the Devine within us)
👉 YOU HAVE ONLY ONE BATTLE TO FIGHT
If external pleasures and achievements aren’t the solution, we are left with only one option:
🔑 Exploring the inner world of emotions, feelings, traumas, needs, untapped potential, and aspirations.
🔑 Looking within ourselves and accepting the deep dive into our inner content is the true path toward healing, growth, and fulfillment.
💡 Initially, this dive feels like a battle because our conflicting aspects fight against each other to have their specific needs met:
