There are so many voices in our head and sometimes it’s hard to tell if you’re displaying ego or self-esteem. You have to notice and switch your dialogue to strengthen the voice you want. You have to switch for something higher.

The Ego stops you from observing deeper and blocks curiosity. Self-Esteem allows you to approach something with fresh ears and eyes. Today I’ll share the signals that help me choose higher thoughts.

“I wish I started earlier” Have you ever told yourself that? Or how about “It’s too late” or “it’s not going to happen for me anymore”. My follow up is: Too late for what? Too late for who? Who made up these rules?

We are all made to feel that we need to have our lives figured out by 21, but to put that false expectation on yourself is absurd. Our current education system is teaching us subjects not problem solving, emotional management or self awareness.

Without experience under our belts, we rush into making bad decisions. Realize there are benefits in starting later, and many people have like Samuel Jackon and Stan Lee! Today you’ll get a brand new perspective and start becoming the person you should’ve been.

When I lived as a Monk we were recommended to reflect every 2-4 weeks. Usually we wait for new years resolution, but for me my birthday has always been a time for deep reflection.

It’s important to reflect on the lessons from the past because they are the only thing you can truly take with you to the future.

Life will teach you the same lessons over and over if you fail to listen. So much more than I could’ve ever imagined has happened this year, and I want to share the lessons with you. Get ready!
