10 years ago, my life shattered on a ski slope.
• Three broken vertebrae
• Identity completely destroyed
• Realized I was living a lie
That crash taught me what 30 years of achievements couldn't.
If you're still in your 20s and 30s, please read this: 🧵
• Three broken vertebrae
• Identity completely destroyed
• Realized I was living a lie
That crash taught me what 30 years of achievements couldn't.
If you're still in your 20s and 30s, please read this: 🧵
1. You're not living your life. You're living your parents' fears and society's expectations programmed into you by age 7.
2. External validation is a drug that never satisfies. I chased approval for 30 years and felt emptier with each achievement.
3. Your achievements mean nothing if they're not yours. I had every credential society values but zero connection to what I really wanted.
4. People-pleasing is self-betrayal disguised as kindness. I became everyone's favorite person and nobody's authentic friend.
5. The voice in your head isn't you. You are the observer. Very crucial distinction.
6. Comfort zones are prisons with invisible bars. They feel safe while slowly suffocating your soul.
7. Your nervous system holds your trauma. I released 30 years of emotional baggage through yoga and breathwork in months, not decades.
8. Present moment awareness is your superpower. Past regrets and future anxiety does not exist in the now.
9. Ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience say the same thing: thoughts create reality. The mystics knew what scientists are just proving again and again.
New Thought Society proved it. Einstein proved it. Modern neuroscience prove it. Who's next? Make it you.

10. You're not broken. You're just programmed with someone else's software. Delete the code that doesn't serve you.
11. Rock bottom is often a gift. Sometimes your unconscious patterns need to shatter before you can rebuild consciously.
Try to find the hidden reason, lesson, or purpose behind every perceived setback. It's likely your true launching pad.

12. Detachment isn't indifference. It's freedom from needing outcomes.
Enjoy the journey and never put your self worth on the line for a one-time result. It's fleeting.

13. Your ego will sabotage your awakening. It would rather be right than free, familiar than fulfilled.
14. Most people would rather stay unconscious than do the work of awakening.
It's easier to blame circumstances than take responsibility for your inner world.

15. Your breath controls your state. Master your breathing, master your nervous system.
Master your nervous system, master your mind.
Master your mind, master your life.
Master your nervous system, master your mind.
Master your mind, master your life.
16. Purpose-driven goals feel effortless. Ego-driven goals require constant willpower. Align with your authentic self and watch resistance disappear.
17. You become what you consistently focus on. Your attention is your most valuable resource.
Develop it as if it's your greatest skill.
Guard it like your life depends on it.

18. Stress, anxiety, and depression are often symptoms of living inauthentically.
When you live fully in the present and align with your true self, mental health issues often resolve naturally.

19. The universe operates on laws just like physics.
Understanding and applying these principles gives you incredible control over your mind, your experiences, and the people you meet in life.
You truly are a product of your environment.

20. Your environment programs your subconscious. Curate what you consume: media, conversations, relationships, because it's programming your reality.
21. Childhood agreements still run your adult life.
"I'm not enough", "the deck is stacked against me," "I must prove myself" are unconscious contracts limiting you daily.

22. Success without fulfillment is sophisticated failure. I achieved everything society promised would make me happy. I felt dead inside.
Find your purpose. Clearly define your values. Create systems around your goals and daily life.
Maintain the willpower to focus your attention within that framework.
Your opinions, thoughts, and beliefs are the only ones that matter.
