We talk a lot about the risk of change. But what we don’t talk about enough is the risk of staying right where we are. This letter isn’t a push. It’s a moment of truth. And maybe it’s the one you’ve been waiting for…

You want the freedom—but you don’t want to burn for it. You want the outcome—but not the edge that asks you to bleed. You want the thrill of arrival—without the raw intensity of the crossing.

Maybe you’ll find a piece of your own truth in here too. Always with you in the genuine practice that sets us all free…
