“I stopped trying to fix myself and finally found peace, joy, and ease through receiving"

Before this program listening to 7 Sacred State Challenges by Vishen, I was struggling with understanding the parts of receipt. 2025 was a very hard year, one where after 47 years I had learned shame of failure, debt, and how I had linked my identity of success to perfection. In my attempt to “fix” myself I returned to faith (God) and Stillness (prayer/meditation), focus on family (Love), all with an aim to Knowingness (find myself or know thyself). 
The remaining part of “fixing” myself that we’re not achieved per se were Non-attachment, Devotion, and Receiving. After taking this 7 day Sacred Challenge and centering myself each morning, it finally clicked. There isn’t anything for me to “fix” at all. Devotion to craft/skill, Non-attachment to control the outcome is not necessary, and learning the gift of receipt (joy of life even despite hardship or failure) is all that is needed. It all clicked! 
The relationship between all 7 areas and the biggest one for me was receipt, even if the problems or challenges but knowing they can be fun and easy to solve brings joy. 
Thank you, Vishen, for the wisdom and clarity I needed the end of 2025. It changes everything!!!! I feel the inner peace and stillness I sought so hard to obtain but was here all along.
