Stumbled upon this article - great read. Haven't heard of the "Hope" experiment before this, really interesting.

Thank you, Peter! Yes, it really blew my mind. Just imagine how many aspects of our lives this could be applied to. If we have the mental proof, we can dig way deeper than we ever knew.

Thanks for writing this! I feel like I'm on a similar journey. For me, it's that feeling of autopilot. I'm guessing a lot of us feel it but it can take so long to realize it. I'll be following along with your journey.

So many fabulous inspirations — and truths — held in this sacred sharing! Love it all. 💛 I’ve definitely stayed in situations too long, but now I try to focus on the birthing of something new instead of the ending of something old.

Thank you so much for reading, Alania! That's a beautiful way to frame it. When you look at life through that lens, every challenge is an opportunity for growth and something better.

Yes! And we can usually find freedom in that perspective.
