A LIFE BY DESIGN. NOT BY DEFAULT.

My true Growth came when I realised that I do not have to experience life the way that I was told to. My true Growth came when I decided to live my life deliberately and not by default. In order to understand the work we must engage with it consistently. This is the only chance of living a life less ordinary. Fulfilment is living what you are made for – what you were born to do. As with all precious things, it is a cultivation of a practice. Awakening is not changing who you are, but discarding who you are not, and then designing who you want to become. Besides, I’ve always liked the idea of not being or doing what others expect of me.
