We spend so much time trying to improve our life without realizing that the first thing we need is to get away from what poisons you. You want to grow but you're still in environments that keep you small.
You want peace, but you are surrounded by chaos. You want abundance but you frequent spaces of scarcity. Half of the game is not adding more, it's taking away what's left over. It's detoxing from places that drain your energy. People who reduce you. Of habits that slowly destroy you. You can't flourish in toxic soil. And sometimes the biggest transformation is not what you build, but what you dare to leave behind.
Detoxing is not abandonment, it is spiritual survival. It is to recognize that not all spaces deserve your presence.That not all people, they are meant to accompany you. That not all the habits that once served you are still serving you today.
Free yourself.
Detoxification, and notice how, when you finally get out of whatever is poisonous, everything starts to bloom naturally. Life doesn't ask for perfection, it asks for presence. Like the sea, you are not here to always be calm, but to learn to flow, to respect your times and to trust that, after the surf, calm always returns.
Fall in love with the struggle.
Embrace the discomfort. Because what weighs you down today is exactly what's going to lift you up tomorrow.
We were not made for the easy. And when you understand it, you stop complaining about the weight... and you start enjoying what you're building. And in that reminder is hidden the greatest of freedoms: to understand that difficulty is not the enemy, but the way.
Work every day on your discipline, your attitude and your mentality. Do you know why? Because the external changes, the internal remains. You have to take an honest look at where you are.
The places you frequent and the people we spend time with.The habits that we repeat automatically. Do they raise you up or sink you down? Do they expand you or limit you? Do they nourish you or empty you? It's good to have the courage to step away from what the answer reveals.
It takes commitment...
We live in a time where everything is fast, fleeting, ephemeral. And although, we understand that the world changes and no one wants ties, where are the real assholes left.
There is a huge void in people who complain about meaningless relationships. But, it is that to build them you have to take the time, you have to stop running away from the challenges of commitment, from what you see in the long term.
The promise of "be free” does not free you, it enslaves you to fragile bonds... it applies to work, friendships and the couple. What is truly meaningful takes time and requires commitment. Happiness and sadness coexist, that's why I love formality and sharing knowledge and life experiences at Hive.
