It’s hard to believe that life takes care of you. The need for control is so strong that we can’t even listen to what someone has to say until the end. This happens because we have an implicit assumption. It’s something like: if I’m not in control, unpleasant things will happen.

It’s a mental choice. What if we chose to start from the premise that each of us comes to Earth on a personalized journey? The purpose of this journey is self-discovery.

The most important secret you need to know about the adventure of self-discovery is that you can’t go wrong. Simply put, there are no wrong choices in this process.

There are many options you can take. At any moment, you can choose any of them. Whether we talk about careers, relationships, lifestyle, the sport you play, or even the sauce you use for lunch, you have choices to make.

When it comes to making a choice, stop thinking about making the best one. It’s pointless because, in fact, there is no “best choice.” Whatever path you choose, it will come with experiences that will bring both joy and suffering. In fact, you will choose the option of your subconscious, which will seek what is familiar to it.
