The Transformative Power of Compassion: A Global Call to Action

In a world filled with conflict and suffering, cultivating compassion can seem like a daunting challenge. Yet, history offers us profound examples of how embracing compassion can lead to healing and transformation. One powerful example is the Dalai Lama’s response to Mao Tse Tung. Despite Mao’s atrocities, which included the murder and torture of millions, the Dalai Lama viewed him as a teacher…

Sometimes, the greatest act of self-care is creating distance; in the space between, we find the clarity and strength needed to heal, grow and focus on what is truly important.

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.

Hii! I love your account, it's so helpful! I wanted to ask if you have any tips on thanking yourself and like feeling satisfied with your life and yourself, and also slowing down and appreciating things and like taking time for yourself to process your emotions.

honestly this took a lot of time because I had no idea what u were asking anonnie... though, I took my time and I hope my advice and help you in any way! I'm forever grateful for your support <3333

HOW TO FEEL SATISFIED + GRATEFUL IN LIFE

Each time something good or positive happens in your life, credit and thank yourself by documenting it. This could be down in your journal, a video vlog or even you just telling someone else. 

E.g I got 90% on a test because I had the discipline and intelligence to study hard!  This serves as a reminder to your future self of how hard you’ve worked to get to where you are now. 

Set aside a few minutes in the day to reflect on your current week or month. You could meditate, journal, vlog etc, but just truly think about your favourite moments of the week/month and relish in how they made you feel. 

Be open-minded to new things, as they allow for growth. When you approach changes in your life with a good attitude, you feel more fulfilled as you challenge yourself to experience growth. 

Shift your perspective to that everything that happens in your life, is doing you a favour. Lost a good friend? Maybe they were holding you back. Dropped your favourite skincare jar? Probably could irritate. Struggling in a class? Ooo, something that challenges your mental mind!

Acknowledge that everything and anything external or materialistic will not grant you happiness in life. The only true way we can be satisfied or happy is by recognising and talking to our inner selves and making sure they’re nourished. 

Start to build deeper relations with others. Whether it’s your significant other, your family, or your friends, try to connect with them on a deeper level and make an effort to prioritise (not over you tho!) them. Your optimism will increase, and it gives you another reason to be grateful. 

That being said, be cautious with whom you keep close to. There are many people out there, regardless of how close they are, who want to see you fail, drain your energy or just be envious of you. Pluck these people out of your environment, as these people will squeeze all the gratitude and optimism out of you the longer you keep them around. 

Avoid comparing what you have, to what others have. Everyone else is on a different journey, and it’s completely unrealistic to compare yourself to someone else’s life which you haven’t experienced. Instead, cheer them on! When you put out good energy in the word, it comes right back to you!

The Space Between: Exploring the Infinite Potential of Being

In a world where time is a relentless force and identity feels tethered to our daily experiences, we are constantly seeking to understand who we are and what we are becoming. We exist in the spaces between moments, continuously evolving but never quite arriving at a final definition of self. This journey is not just about reaching an end but about understanding the limitless nature of being itself—an infinite loop of potential, growth, and awareness.

The Illusion of Time and Identity

One of the greatest illusions we face is the concept of time as a linear path. From an early age, we are taught to think of life as a sequence of events, neatly ordered into past, present, and future. We set goals, make plans, and measure progress based on this timeline, believing that we are moving toward some fixed point where we will finally “arrive.” But what if this is not the case? What if time is not a straight line but a fluid, expansive space that bends and loops in ways we cannot fully comprehend?

Our identities are similarly bound by this illusion. We define ourselves by the roles we play—parent, professional, artist, friend—and by the experiences we accumulate over time. Yet, if we step back, we begin to see that these identities are not as fixed as they seem. They are temporary constructs, shaped by external circumstances and internal shifts, constantly dissolving and reforming.

In this sense, we are more than the sum of our experiences. We are not bound by the past, nor are we solely the product of the future we imagine. Rather, we are always becoming—moving through a space of possibility that transcends time and identity.

The Space Between Thoughts

There is a quiet, often unnoticed space that exists between our thoughts. In meditation, it is said that true peace is found not in the constant flow of mental chatter but in the stillness that exists in the gaps between those thoughts. In these moments, we catch glimpses of something deeper—an awareness that goes beyond the mind, beyond the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what our lives should be.

This space is where we experience our true essence, free from the limitations of time and identity. It is in this space that we come to understand that we are more than our minds, more than our bodies, and more than the moments we experience. We are the awareness that witnesses all of this, the consciousness that exists beyond the labels and narratives we cling to.

When we reside in this space, even for a fleeting moment, we realize that we are not defined by what has come before or what is yet to come. We are part of an infinite continuum, a vast expanse of potential where every moment holds the possibility of transformation. This awareness invites us to reconsider what it means to “be,” not as a static state but as an ongoing process of becoming.

Dissolving the Boundaries

In the physical world, we often perceive boundaries between things—between ourselves and others, between the past and the future, between thought and action. These boundaries give us a sense of order and structure, but they can also limit our understanding of who we are and what we are capable of.

What happens when these boundaries begin to dissolve? When we no longer see ourselves as separate from the world around us but as part of an interconnected whole? This shift in perception can be both liberating and disorienting. It forces us to confront the fluidity of existence and the idea that we are always in a state of flux.

As the boundaries between self and other, past and future, dissolve, we begin to see that all we can ever be is this—this moment, this awareness, this potential. There is no final destination, no fixed identity to cling to. Instead, we are constantly evolving, shifting, and expanding.

This understanding challenges the notion of permanence that we often seek in life. We long for stability, for certainty, for a sense of control over who we are and where we are going. But in reality, life is a process of continual becoming, and the sooner we embrace this fluidity, the more fully we can experience the richness of existence.

Embracing the Infinite

When we accept that we are always becoming, we open ourselves to the infinite potential of existence. We stop trying to fit ourselves into narrow definitions of who we think we should be and instead allow ourselves to explore the vastness of what we might become. This shift in perspective is not about giving up on goals or aspirations but about understanding that the journey is just as important—if not more important—than the destination.

In this space of becoming, we are free to imagine new possibilities for ourselves and our lives. We are no longer confined by the past or constrained by the future. Instead, we are present to the unfolding of our own potential, moment by moment.

This is where true freedom lies—not in the certainty of knowing who we are, but in the openness to discover who we might become. It is in this space of infinite potential that we find our deepest sense of self, not as a fixed entity but as an ever-evolving awareness that transcends time, identity, and circumstance.

Conclusion: All We Can Ever Be

As we move through life, we are constantly confronted with the question of who we are and what we are becoming. The answers to these questions are never fixed; they are always shifting, changing, and evolving. In recognizing this, we begin to see that the essence of who we are is not something we can grasp or hold onto. It is not something that can be defined by time or circumstance.

All we can ever be is this: a moment of awareness, a flicker of consciousness in the vast expanse of existence. We are the process of becoming, the space between thoughts, the potential that lies beyond identity and time. And in this realization, we find a deeper sense of peace, knowing that we are always enough, just as we are, and always becoming more than we can imagine.

Transformation

No one talks about the experience of shifting frequencies. It’s always portrayed as green to blue, cocoon to butterfly, mortal to immortal. Wisdom and experience come from such terrible things. Beauty is a product of pain. When someone has to turn the dial to find the next radio station, the static, screeching, the unknown waves that we just brush off are the in between, the undergrowth that we cannot see or hear. Then we learn to let go. And that is the final shift, isn’t it
