Have you seen it yet?⁣
⁣
Have you experienced that startling moment when you see your mind lobbying for your limitations?⁣
⁣
Have you watched your mind arguing to stay a victim?⁣
⁣
Have you witnessed your mind persuading you that you are disadvantaged and helpless?⁣
⁣
Have you seen your mind coaching you into feeling more and more powerless?⁣
⁣
Have you witnessed, first hand, the mind convincing you that you are 100% justified in your resentment, bitterness, anger, blame, and judgement?⁣
⁣
Have you observed the strange disappointing satisfaction that comes when your depressing or heart breaking conclusions are confirmed?⁣
⁣
Watching the inner workings of your mind operate in real time is the work.⁣
⁣
Turn the light of 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 on.⁣
⁣
Watch what your mind has been doing in the dark.⁣
⁣
When you see the joy destroying, misery producing enemies in your own household, a new kind of journey begins.⁣

“You must always remember this, that no matter what you're going through, no matter what appears to have come upon you that you consider negative, it's a blessing in disguise.

Sounds strange, but true. It's a blessing in disguise, believe it or not.

If you handle it in the right way, and you work through it by not reacting to it, it will turn into something so beautiful you can't imagine.

I can assure you of this.

But, if you react you may win, you may get your point across.

That will only last a short while.

Then you'll have to go through the condition again and again, perhaps with other people, and you'll never know why you suffer so much.

The choice therefore is yours.”

What have you been complaining about lately?⁣
⁣
What has seemed impossible?⁣
⁣
What have you been wishing was easier?⁣
⁣
You can see this thing as an insurmountable obstacle, a malevolent roadblock, just one more reason why life is unfair and you are unlucky or….⁣

I recently slacked off practicing my pull ups (which I had been doing at least one per day for 2+ years)…⁣
⁣
The other day I went to do one and almost didn’t make it all the way up. 😱⁣
⁣
A second one was not even an option.⁣
⁣
Efffff. ⁣
I let myself get out of shape.⁣
I got weak.⁣
⁣
I was surprised by how hard it was compared to how it felt when I was doing one daily.⁣
⁣
It’s harder because I’m weaker.⁣

We think daily betterment is fun.⁣
⁣
Perpetual improvement is one of our main values.⁣
⁣
We like it!⁣
⁣
Perpetual strength building, habit refining, fun having…⁣
⁣
We don’t live in a static realm. ⁣
⁣
Our realm is in (seeming 😉) constant motion… ⁣

Your moment to moment choices are binary.⁣

Are you dwelling more in the light/on/wanted/joyful side of life or the dark/off/unwanted/depressed side?⁣

We shall be discussing this in depth and why you may find it very hard to choose your thoughts right now and may even feel as though it is impossible .⁣
⁣
There is a very understandable reason it’s hard for you currently…⁣
⁣
Pull ups are hard, handstands are hard, weight lifting is hard… until you learn the skills and put in the work.⁣
⁣
Changing how your mind operates is hard… until you learn the skills and put in the work.⁣

Hello! Hey! Hi! ⁣
⁣
My name is Melissa and this is my Telegram channel.⁣
⁣
The things I post here are like a buffet of ideas…⁣
⁣
There is a wide selection of dishes to try out.⁣
⁣
Some bites are sweet and easy to swallow…⁣
⁣
Some are deeply satisfying and nourishing…⁣
⁣
Some are spicy and give a kick…⁣
⁣
Some are more subtle, nuanced flavors you might not be so sure about…⁣
⁣
I can’t guarantee you’ll like every bite.⁣

🐟 Wild caught self-responsibility⁣
🐄 Free range sovereignty⁣
🥦 Raw personal experience ⁣
🥘 Homemade self-awareness⁣
🌱 Locally sourced innate intelligence⁣
🌊 All Natural/Biological Law⁣
⁣
Each nugget I share here I have found personally liberating and beneficial.⁣
⁣
Consuming these ideas has allowed me to go from a state of chronic anxiety to a state of steadfast peace.⁣
⁣
I serve the food I like best. The foods that energize, nourish, strengthen, and satisfy me.⁣
⁣
I don’t know which bites you’re ready for or if my buffet is appropriate for you in this lifetime…⁣
⁣
𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄.⁣
⁣
Some people peek at the menu and leave a bad yelp review without ever sitting down for a full meal…⁣
⁣
That’s fine. ⁣
⁣
Some people try the spiciest meal first and immediately write off every other dish…⁣
⁣
That’s fine.⁣
⁣
Some people wonder how other people might feel about the food I serve here…⁣
⁣
That’s fine.⁣
⁣
Some people stick around and chew on each idea with curiosity and interest. ⁣
⁣
They exit their discomfort zone, explore the flavors, expand their palate, and discover what lies outside the realm of the familiar, conventional menu.⁣
⁣
It’s none of my business what you do with the meals I share at my idea buffet.⁣

"Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy."
