A Yogi's Guide to Joy

"This is my 15th course I've been lucky to absorb at Mindvalley"

Giving up felt like the obvious path I was headed down and no information or class or information seemed to change that and I was reaching for anything and everything. Every technique I heard about I searched for someone who would share it's magic. They were the answer that never ultimately fit my question. They were gonna fix what I couldn't fix myself and what I felt doomed to live with that I didn't understand how I had created or what I should do to fix. I tried so many techniques, concepts, substances, therapists, cards, books and each time I was sure this was the thing to make sense of it all until it just didn't. I woke up the same the next day with the same thoughts, living the same life with no clue how to get to a place things would be different and it might somehow make sense. 
 But then recently I know I somehow lost hope because 
 no matter how perfect the newest thing seemed to have come into my life, there was no resolution. After a while I did what I never imagined I would see myself doing and I lost hope and gave up. The process by which one gives up is not a chosen path you can decide for yourself and it seems to be the only way to really change anything. Giving up feels bad and for me it's never been an option so when it happened I truly resigned to never figuring it out and accepting this is probably how most people feel all the time. 
 Hope came again when I listened to lesson 4 of this course and I don't think hope is the right word but there isn't one for what this course has done for my personal way of understanding life or how it completely changed with the information this beautiful course so changed the way things made sense to me in the most simple and logical way after each lesson. 
 I always felt like humans play the game of Monopoly with the directions to the game of Life. I personally didn't understand so many things that this course has opened my mind to and I feel a new path and journey can begin to play the next roll with different information and rules that I am very unfamiliar but completely ready to get started.
 Things don't have to be so hard when we have the right manual. 
This is my 15th course I've been lucky to absorb at Mindvalley and although the other ones were amazing, this one was magical. Thank you so much for giving me the information I needed to understand life in a more beautiful way. I look forward to tomorrow and to learning more.
