Have you ever noticed how the smallest things can steal your peace? A rude word, a careless mistake, a slow driver, and suddenly, calm dissolves into frustration. Yet, it’s in these moments that life quietly asks: How strong is your patience? How steady is your Light?

Axiom of Light: “To tolerate lesser things is wise and kindly, as this cultivates inner strength, calm, and patience.”

In a world that moves at lightning speed, we often feel pressured to find immediate answers. Yet wisdom teaches that for every situation, there is a solution, though it may not always reveal itself right away or in the way we want. When the path ahead feels uncertain, our greatest strength lies in calm awareness and steadfast patience. Axiom of Light: “For every situation, there is an available solution. Sometimes it is not readily observable. Remain calm and have patience; the solution will materialize.”

Have you ever felt that resistance when you go to do something you know you should? That feeling of your heart racing and your gut sinking? What if I told you that this reaction is not only a gift, but the secret to everything you want. Peace, purpose, love, and success all hide behind the one thing we avoid most: discomfort.

We say we want peace, but we grip pain like it’s proof we existed. Letting go is more than just an act; it is a lifestyle. It is releasing the hurt, the blame, and the people or institutions that no longer serve us. It is a call to honor ourselves and the natural order of things. Letting go isn’t about losing control; it’s about trusting the flow of life. It is not surrender in the sense of defeat, but strength and self-trust in their truest form.

Have you ever met someone new and immediately started showing them the best parts of yourself, only to hide the messy, imperfect parts until months later? Only to end up feeling like they don’t really see you? This is a common experience we all go through. We try to sweep what we see as shortcomings under the rug and hide away any part of us that might bring rejection or make us feel undesirable. Today we are going to break that cycle and dive into how to truly cultivate meaningful relationships.

This week I am taking a detour from what I normally write about to review a book I found quite fascinating on the concept of willpower. The book is Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength by Roy F. Baumeister.

In this book, willpower is described as a finite resource—like a muscle. It can be strengthened with practice but depleted with overuse. This innate power within all of us can be cultivated and used effectively, but we must monitor where we invest it on a daily basis. The book emphasizes how vital this is, stating that self-control is a stronger predictor of success than IQ or socioeconomic background.

“Debate and discussion create the ripe soil in which wisdom and truth are cultivated.” Justin Gates Today I want to address the important topic of healthy communication. More and more people are finding it difficult to have hard conversations. The more we avoid them, the harder they become. Like a growing insecurity, we lose ourselves in echo chambers, afraid to challenge our opinions and beliefs, and we become more attached to our perspective than to the truth.

Have you been feeling heavy, disconnected, or stuck in an endless fog? You are not alone. Nearly 19% of adults in the United States suffer from depression, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

For me, this topic hits close to home. I spent much of my childhood in depression, and many people close to me still struggle with it today. Depression is not a permanent defect of the mind, and it is not something you are destined to live with forever, even if your temperament leans toward depressive tendencies.

Unmasking Toxic Shame

Aug 29

Written By Michael Perry

The beliefs about who we are often come from wounds we cannot see. To heal, we have to unmask the voice that hides behind many other guises, such as anger, perfectionism, isolation, pride, anxiety, people-pleasing, and numbing out. So what is this mask hidden underneath our personas? Toxic shame, one of the most understated topics in the healing space.

Toxic shame is like a parasite that wiggles into our brain and constantly whispers: “You are not good enough.” It takes your spirit and tries to convince you that you’re flawed and broken, that you’re too much and not trying hard enough.

The Comfort Zone Trap: Why Staying Safe Is Slowly Destroying You

Have you ever found yourself slowly falling into a routine where leaving home for anything other than the essentials feels like pulling teeth? Where things you want to do, like hitting the gym, traveling, or spending time with friends, suddenly feel more triggering than joyful?

You’re not alone. The comfort zone is a very real thing, and if you’re not mindful of its power, it can become a trap.

Radical Accountability: Taking Back Your Power

What is Radical Accountability

Radical accountability is a term we are hearing more and more in the world today, but what is it really? When we look at accountability and the difference between it and radical accountability, it is pretty straightforward. Accountability is taking responsibility for your actions, decisions, and the outcomes of your life. Radical accountability is something even more. Think of it as extreme ownership.

Love VS Attachment

Attachment is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days, but what does it mean? Why do we always seem to attract the same dynamics, struggles, and type of partners into our life? Spoiler alert, it's not bad luck, and it's not because no one understands you. It is in fact because you don’t understand yourself. Attachment is the key to the perspective you need to stop attracting toxicity into your life, and move toward abundance and reciprocity. In this article I am going to cover not just attachment styles, but the two major types of love, and how you can begin to foster a secure and healthy relationship, whether you are in a relationship currently, or getting back into dating.

When You Trust Yourself, Everything Changes

What is Self Trust Self-trust is something most people misunderstand. It is more than just a cognitive belief that you trust your thoughts, actions, and decisions, but that is where general understanding of the concept ends. Have you ever felt stagnant? Stuck in the same cycles? Avoiding hard conversations, or the reverse and blowing up when things get too close to home? In these examples, we can start to see the truth of where our trust lies with ourselves and how our unconscious begins to sabotage us.

From Stagnation to Meaning: A Practical Guide to Finding Purpose

Finding your purpose 

Often in life we can get lost in the routine that is our existence. Days pass by, we wake up, go to work, take the same route home, do our evening routine then go off to bed just to hit replay the next day. It is easy to lose sight of our dreams, or vision and most importantly of who we truly are. When we get lost in stagnation these important things slowly and silently begin to fade away until one day we wake up and realize months, years or even decades have passed us by.
