The journey from ego to higher self.                     Our role is to create, to build, to make, to give, to bring the new into existence. Create content, build boats, make art, write poems, tell stories, tend gardens, plant trees, mold glass, set up businesses, design safe spaces, shape new minds, unravel new truths, erect bridges. Create with abandon, create relentlessly, create obsessively; create because life demands that you be the giver instead of the mindless, endless, self-consuming consumer who just takes, takes, takes.           There will be naysayers, critics and cynics; there will be your own resistance that tells you a different story of surviving before thriving, of taking before giving, of filling before fulfilling. You have the choice of either listening to the same old beliefs fed by fear or to the voice deep within yourself that understands only love—one that asks you to keep chugging along: loving, giving, creating, healing. Because only this voice knows that carrying on, despite all odds, is what makes us more human and aware sentient beings.           As you keep showing up to love, give, create and heal, you will find yourself in complete alignment with your intention to pour your uniqueness and love into the world. You realise that you don’t have to chase your dreams anymore; your dreams start chasing you, wanting to seduce you into manifesting them with a snap of your fingers.           So put those fingers to work, get that derriere off the couch where it has left indelible imprints, get those feet moving, one after the other and simply follow your first instinct to give, love and create. Because in loving, giving and creating lie the answers we seek to life and beyond.           Forget the number of reincarnations, the dark nights of the soul and the life lessons you have left in you. See only how you can bring your life alive in this moment. Stop living your life because you want a better afterlife. The life you are living is not an entrance exam to see if you are fit for heaven or hell. This life is the real deal and there is no other place you would rather be than here, in this moment, taking every heaven and hell in your stride and creating a world more beautiful than you have ever experienced.                 There is a rare breed of people who go all in. People like you.                     Someone is trying again because you reminded them that they could. Someone pulled back the curtains of their home yesterday after bed rotting and doomscrolling for weeks because they saw your story on how you overcame depression with expression. Someone who has been grieving and carrying the weight of past mistakes, feeling unworthy of forgiveness, gave themselves a second chance because you held them tight and didn’t let go until both of you had cried buckets. Someone whose knees bucked on stage went for the audition because you were there for them on the sidelines cheering with fanatic fandom.           There is a rare breed of people that go all in.           People like you.           People like you who keep their word, show up with love for the beautiful life that this life is and go the extra mile for loved ones and strangers. People like you who change the temperature of the room the moment they walk in, turn down the volume of the world with just their love and light. They speak with love, they engage with love, they receive with love. Conscious, soft words over harsh gossip, listening more than talking, holding space more than taking space and allowing life to unfold with all its wrinkles instead of steam-ironing it into perfection. They create tables on which people who want to talk about life, goals, forgiveness, passion, afterlife, spirituality and soulmates can sit.           People like you are a rare breed who may not always receive the same love, passion and effort in return, yet never change and always give their all, fiercely giving with as much devotion as always, not as a transaction but as a way of honouring the infiniteness and abundance they have been endowed with.           Om Tat Sat. They see the divinity in everything and see everything till the end, not giving up because suddenly their ego has other plans and other playmates. Seeing it to the end because they see everything as a devotion to God and not a checklist item to satiate the world and ego. They take advantage of every little moment they are given by life, breathing in joy, breathing out love.           These people are harbingers of hope and the simplicity of their happiness lies in being excited. Being excited for everything — making a cup of tea, having friends over, making a reel, monkey hugging someone, watching the next episode, buying a new dress, your favourite show, sunsets, travelling, falling in love… everything. They love a life they are excited about.           There is a rare breed of people who are just the walking form of light and sunshine, irrespective of the trials, tribulations and drama in their own lives. No, they are not evangelists of toxic positivity. They know the difference between sitting with oneself, standing for someone and walking with others. No, they are not spiritual bypassers who have learned the lessons from a podcast. They have done the inner work, have sat in solitude for months and are still slaying the demons of their past.           There is a rare breed of people.
