You are having a blessed week full of abundance, joy and power, aren’t you?

Feel the energy course through your veins
Feel the smile creep onto your lips
You are more powerful, beautiful and lovable than you know.
Now, onto the main point of this letter..
There are, in general, 3 things we desire from life.
Can you guess what they might be?
Have a think..
Got it?
They are:
- Health
- Wealth
- Love
The order of which will depend upon your personal values and belief systems.
Here’s the thing..
We tend to focus a lot on wealth, often to the neglect of love and our emotional, spiritual and even physical health.
It’s no one’s fault, it’s just the system of values we’ve inherited from an inherently faulty system (Society, parents, teachers etc)
We go through life pursuing the material because we believe that’s where satisfaction lies.
Now, if you’re reading this, you probably already know that - But how strongly do you truly act upon it?
Let me tell you a story…
I have a student here in Japan. 5 International businesses. 20M+ networth..
We had a private class last week, I told him about my latest endeavours..
(You MAY have noticed my profile changing over the last few weeks - Probably not - But here’s a screenshot)
This is the start of my journey from a hobby account into an account with an offer, that I charge real $$ for.
It’s been very exciting. I’ve been working in the background with a number of clients who had amazing transformations (despite only doing 1/5th of the actual course)..
(Btw - If you’re a stressed out and burnt out entrepreneur who is looking for genuine transformation and lasting relief book a call —> https://calendly.com/leighstjohn/30-min-discovery-call)
Here’s what Prayaag had to say:
Anyway..
Back to my student.
20m+ networth.
All the material things you could possibly desire.
He described himself as eternally “thirsty”.
Nothing was quenching his thirst
All material gain and physical health was leaving him with a sense of void.
Something was missing, something fundamental and vital
We spoke for 50 mins about this, and I gently guided him to the realization that he was lacking love
Not love for his beautiful young family, or for his work.
But genuine love. A connection to something higher. Finding a deeper meaning. Something more profound and inherent.
How often is this the case that we ignore that which gives us TRUE satisfaction?
It is not the purchasing of new, shiny material goods which gives us joy..
But the quiet moments of reflection, the moments of deep conversation or little moments when we suddenly become very present..
And notice the beauty of life that surrounds us
There are myriad ways to connect with this love
But it requires you to take a step back, put everything down
Strip away all the nonsense, and just get really brutally honest with yourself
It’s so at odds with everything that’s been drilled into us until this point..
Is it any wonder that we constantly flirt with burnout, anxiety and overthinking?
Putting aside at least 30 mins a day to reflect, to get very quiet, very calm, very peaceful and really think about what’s important is the highest return on investment activity we can do
We probably already know this, but how often do we do it?
There are depths of sweetnesses, bliss, joy and connection which are always accessible..
It’s just about getting out of our own way..
And allowing ourselves to fully embrace the depth of the beauty and agony of the moment
Raw and unfiltered
This is how healing is done.
