Worrying never leads to action. Attention and intention does.
And one decision at 30,000 feet changed everything.

I'm here, in the tropics, witnessing life become extremely beautiful. So thankful.
And noticing something: my old tendency to worry is fading away. Not because it disappeared on its own — because I decided so. Because I finally noticed that worrying was never useful. I already knew this consciously, a long time ago. Worrying adds no value. Acting does. Planning does. Taking care of things does. But worrying only drains my energy and my happiness, without adding anything.
Does worry lead to action? No. Attention and Intention leads to action.
And those two, sometimes, can be activated from a single line in a book.
Books are blessings. Decades of wisdom condensed into a few hours of reading. Not the same as living those decades — of course not. But an incredible distillation. An incredible leverage. And some books, some, touch me. Just a line, just a paragraph, and everything shifts.
I was flying to Singapore from Bali — just for a couple of days — reading on the plane. And even before landing, I felt like my life had changed.
The book asked me: what is a decision you've been postponing?
[What is a decision you've been postponing? Postponing and by doing so you are acting with less kindness to yourself and others?]
When you truly take a decision, it's done. It cuts off all other possibilities. So I decided to adopt a mantra: I Am Limitless Consciousness, Creating.
I won't invite every human to use the same words — they wouldn't mean the same without context. They mean something to me because I was a monk for 12 years. For 12 years I tried to remember that I am limitless consciousness. For 12 years it never fully clicked. It clicked for moments, and those moments were blissful. But it never fully clicked because I am not just a monk. I am a human, playing this human experience as fully as I can.
So why now? Two reasons.
One: I'm now okay with failing. Before, my self-esteem was bruised every time I failed, every time I forgot, every time I stopped remembering for a moment who I am. Now I genuinely know that falling is part of success. Ronaldo, Messi, Federer, Nadal, Oprah, Tony Robbins, Eckhart Tolle — or every hero you and I have ever had — they are the ones who failed the most. Who dared the most. Who got back to their purpose, their intuition, their vision, so many times that they became remarkably good at it.
Like each of us when we were learning to walk. We fell so many times. And we didn't see it as something wrong. We lived it as part of the process.
Geniuses are built more through grit than talent. Through perseverance, consistent action, intentional trying. The gifts we came into this world with are awesome — but it's the consistency to polish them that matters most. From now on I'm happy to fail a million times.
Two: the Creating part.
I believe deeply that we are truly happy only when fully engaged with our creation. Nothing else makes us happy. Nothing. Not a relationship, nor a six-pack, nor a million dollars, nor twenty, nor living in Bali. Although living in Bali helps a lot. And a beautiful relationship helps a lot. And the more than enough money helps. But none of them gives you happiness.
Happiness is only experienced when being fully engaged in what feels meaningful to create. Whether it's a piece of art, a relationship, a business, a book, a career.
In that full engagement, being completely available as an instrument to our creation, we come fully alive. Not fully comfortable — fully used. That is happiness. Don't believe me. Try to prove me wrong.
You'll discover that every time you've felt truly happy — not a moment of joy, but a phase, weeks, months — it was because you were fully giving yourself to something you truly love.
And if you haven't experienced it yet, which I doubt, then it's even more important that you find that thing meaningful enough to give yourself fully to it.
That's what I wasn't exploring as a monk. Because in my perception, we were hundreds of monks trying to live our guru's vision. That was his mistake and ours — and the criticism that got me fired for questioning him too much. Two years later, about half the monks had left. Because you cannot follow someone else's vision, sooner or later you’ll feel is not aligned enough. You are unique. You need to follow your dreams.
You can have gurus, mentors, teachers, inspiration. Everyone can be your guru, your teacher. Everything that moves — and even what doesn't. But the true guru points ultimately to your own heart.
What is so meaningful to you that you can give yourself fully to it? For an hour, a day, a year, a decade, a lifetime.
I am limitless consciousness creating.
I don't think those exact words will work for everyone. But I think remembering the essence of both what you are and what you do, those two things together may be one of the most powerful mantras anyone can find for themselves.
And this has shaked my life, in a powerful blissful way... (Here is me coming back from that trip :))
Thank you for reading. Thank you for walking with me in this journey of bringing true kindness, true integrity, true fully alive living to every human heart.
That's Hawimi. We choose kindness. We choose to be the change we want to see.
With love,

PD. All this magic is happening to me and for me because every day — or at least once a week — I share what I least want to see, what I judge most in myself, what feels most uncomfortable or shameful or frightening to share. Because in doing that, I'm loving myself so fully that I'm finally seeing what I truly want. The fear is dissolving. The shame is dissolving. And that's giving space to who I am and what my mission is more than ever before. That's what I do — what we do — in the Hawimi Inner Circle.
