The biggest leverage in life isn't money. Or a six-pack 🔥

Access to 🇪🇸 Spanish version here

I guess we're all looking for the biggest leverage. 🔥

That one trick that allows each of us to live a truly fulfilled life. Most people think it's money. Then also relationships. Maybe a six-pack, or a really nice body. But I believe it's not. And I believe I'm right.

I believe other monks got it right. And also got it wrong.

They got it wrong because they put themselves in a bubble that isn't real. And yet... we're all in a bubble. The difference is that when you choose to stay inside a bubble instead of challenging it, there's no real freedom. Freedom only comes from being willing to burst the bubble and let it grow bigger, no matter how beautiful you believe your bubble is.

But what meditation monks got right, I believe, is the choice of presence.

That's the biggest leverage.

Presence heals.

Think about it. Presence is the only common denominator of breathwork, meditation, reiki…, and any form of therapy. Yes, any form. That moment when something actually clicks in a therapy session... when something actually changes... it's always when there is enough attention on something you haven't seen clearly until that exact moment. A moment of crisp attention. Of presence with a specific part of your inner world. And in that moment, something opens up.

Presence is the lubricant. Presence is the warming factor. Presence is like the sun in a life made of snow.

When there is enough presence, enough fire, enough sun, what doesn't serve you melts away. Creating more space. More freedom. More connection with love. First with yourself, with your own system, your own traumas, your own places that aren't so easy to love. And then, from there, it becomes easier and easier to genuinely connect with others.

[What is the trickiest aspect of your life to be truly present in? Money? Relationships? Your own body? I'd genuinely love to know.]

…Not connections where both people are wearing masks, trying to be liked enough by someone else who is also wearing a mask. But a connection, maybe like you and me right now, where I can genuinely share my heart, my soul, my inner world completely open. And if I'm succeeding at doing that... it's probably making it a little easier for you to feel more open too. More seen. More connected. 💛

So presence is the biggest leverage for healing, for centeredness, for feeling safe. And with that, for healing every aspect of our lives. Relationships. Business. Health. Harvard's longest-running study in history found that the number one predictor of longevity and happiness is the quality of our relationships. And the quality of our relationships depends entirely on the quality of our presence.
