Embrace Your Future: Overcoming Past Obstacles and Finding Inspiration

Dear Neto,

It's important to remember, your past does not equal your future. You can choose to be anything you want to be. And the only thing holding you back from being the best version of yourself is you. I know it feels like you have missed out on many formative social experiences in your teens, and that can certainly impact your confidence and self-esteem.

Liberate Yourself from Your Past

Now that you're 25, it's time to let go of these past regrets. Really, you are 25, and you are feeling hurt due to something you missed out on. But that's just your mind playing tricks on you. It's time to stop wasting your life on the past and fully engage in your future. Otherwise, you risk being stuck where you are now forever.

Consider this: You already have an extraordinary life. You can see and hear, you can breathe. You can walk, talk, and dance. Take a moment to appreciate these simple, yet profound abilities: hiking along the beach or through the forest, making your own energy through food, moving without being plugged into a power point, traveling, playing music, writing poetry, songs, and stories, driving a car, flying a plane. You can do good deeds, work with animals, bake a cake, share food, paint, sculpt, gain qualifications, sail the sea, visit other countries, invent something new, reproduce, grow food, and experience a range of emotions. Meditate, sing, understand love, and be loving. Understand compassion, and be compassionate. Life is a gift, and it's meant to be lived to the fullest.

Discover Inner Inspiration

Inspiration, as the name suggests, comes from within you. It comes from the SPIRIT within you, your spirit. This is what INSPIRES people to do great things and to keep going, no matter what obstacles they face. You can tap into your own INSPIRATION through meditation. When you want to know what to do in your life, sit quietly, focus on not thinking at all, and be the silence in between the musical notes. It may take a while to get there, but once you reach this state of silence, you will have created a space for your INSPIRATION to surface and be heard. That is where you will find what you are looking for.

Take the first step today. You have all the tools you need within you to achieve your goals and live a rich, fulfilling life. Best wishes, HB.

Happy travels.
