“Transmutation: Grapes must be crushed to make wine. Diamonds form under pressure. Olives are pressed to release oil. Seeds grow in darkness. Whenever you feel crushed, under pressure, pressed, or in darkness, you’re in a powerful place of transformation/transmutation.”

I. What Causes Mental Blocks?

The inability to think clearly can be caused or exacerbated by:

  1. Lack of facts ― Solution: Do some research.

  2. Lack of conviction ― Solution: Do it or recommend a better course of action.

  3. Lack of a starting point ― Solution: Break the task into small tasks and just start.

  4. Tunnel Vision ― Solution: Get some outside opinions.

  5. Fatigue ― Solution: Get your rest.

“Don’t let mental blocks control you. Set yourself free. Confront your fear and turn the mental blocks into building blocks.”

II. Growth: You're Not Lost

You are where you need to be…

  • Growth requires infinite learning.

  • Growth requires shedding + grieving.

  • Growth requires discomfort + self-trust.

  • Growth requires love + rest.

  • Growth makes space for healing to happen.

  • Growth makes space for forgiveness.

  • Growth makes space for bravery.

  • Growth makes space for new beginnings.

“Growth, to me, means getting lost and being okay with not knowing what's to come. We live in a world that expects us to know how to maneuver and have our sh*t together by a certain age or life stage. Instead of trying to fight with my emotional compass to find my way back when I'm lost, I leave room in my journey for the unknown, for wonder and wandering.”

III. Winning is Everything: Myth vs. Reality

  • Winning is important, but not as important as caring for the sick.

  • Winning is important, but not as important as educating the youth.

  • Winning is important, but not as important as feeding the hungry.

  • Winning is important, but not as important as loving our fellow neighbor.

  • Winning is important, but only if you win the big game: the game of life.

The Last Words…

“You’re going to realize it one day — that happiness was never about your job, or your degree, or being in a relationship. Happiness was never about following in the footsteps of all of those who came before you, it was never about being like the others. One day, you’re going to see it — that happiness was always about the discovery, the hope, the listening to your heart and following it wherever it chose to go. Happiness was always about being kinder to yourself, it was always about embracing the person you were becoming. One day, you will understand. That happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that happiness was never in the hands of other people. It was always about you. It was always about you.”

P.S. Searching for a book recommendation? Our team at The Daily Coach highly recommends Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously by Osho. The book begins with an in-depth exploration of the meaning of courage and how it is expressed in the everyday life of the individual. Unlike books that focus on heroic acts of courage in exceptional circumstances, the focus here is on developing the inner courage that enables us to lead authentic and fulfilling lives on a day-to-day basis. This is the courage to change when change is needed, the courage to stand up for our own truth, even against the opinions of others, and the courage to embrace the unknown in spite of our fears-in our relationships, in our careers, or in the ongoing journey of understanding who we are and why we are here.
