"Thank you for that insight Mindvalley. "

Hello, I am Grace, I am 35 and I was born in Ecuador. It will be a bit challenging to resume my personal experience and insights in few words, but I will try my best. I started my path in personal growth about 10 years ago when I have my first kind of awakening in my first session of therapy after a depression. It was a kind of energetic therapy that changed my life, I felt a deep connection with the universe and with myself, I discovered the power of my intuition and I was very very happy. I followed my dreams, the dreams that I had at that state of awareness, and I was very successful. But as Vishen says, those dreams wasn’t mine, so my “beautiful destruction” started about four years ago, and, at this point, I am still recovering myself. As I had overcome a life crisis before, I though that I knew everything about personal growth, but this time hasn’t been so easy. I have been struggling once and again, feeling deeply disconnected and lost. So much pain, so much resentment, so much guilt, but what is more important, so many unconscious BRULES pulling me back again and again and again. When I started this quest, I was already aware of some brules that had been operating in my life, and I had Worked to transform them, but big resistance appeared and very slow results. Now, thanks to Vishen speech, I can see clearly that I have been missing the most important BRULE: “I can not break that Brules for myself” and with that statement I have been falling in the victim state again. To realise that, has been a powerful insight that has lead to me to connect with my inner power again, and also has helped me to discover even more and more brules that, now I am absolutely convinced I can break and transform. The other super BRULE that I have discovered is “to get your dreams is painful”. That is the reason I have been experiencing so much resistant and sabotaging myself every time I have started to work in my projects. I recognise myself as a natural manifester. I have been getting specific goals, in an unconscious way, all my life. But I also learnt that every time I got a big goal, I also got disappointment, frustration, and of course, pain, at the time to let them be destroyed. Now, I can understand that this happened because I wasn’t aligned with my truly purpose of life, and the beautiful destruction was necessary to prepare me for the next level. Thank you for that insight Mindvalley. Just to give you a quick inside about me. I Will tell that I am single mum of a beautiful 3 years old girl called “Asiri” that means “smile” in Quechua, and my story starts with her. Just before I got pregnant I used to work leading a high performance Disaster Risk Management team in the Ecuadorian Government. It was a very demanding career that was taken all spaces in my life, so I decided that that style of life wasn’t for me any more. I rejected all offers that I received and decided to travel and find something that I could feel passionated about. I was young and free after all, I though. But after that, everything changed. When I realised I was pregnant I just had a barely support of my child’s father. I had not job, not money, not housing, not family support, not even extended family in the city. My parents, very religious people, rejected me and my child, and never called me back until she was born. I was terrified, but I loved and wanted my child, so I decided to give power to love instead fear, I decided that, no matter what happen, I would give her a beautiful life. It has been a long way and I have had to deal with many things in between, including to be homeless, we moved between three different countries looking for a home and a new place to start. Now we finally have a happy life in England, I got a job, we got a home, and enough money to do not feel worried in our daily life. I write, sing, paint, and play the ukelele! but which is most important for me, I have plenty of time to play with my daughter and to enjoy to be a mum, a “happy single mum”. I like my life, and I am feeling very thankfully every day. Now my purpose is to break all the rules that are avoiding me to get the next level in my life: to be an entrepreneur, to launch my blog, to get financial freedom, but specially, to inspire and help to empower other women/single mums, to find happiness and fulfilment in their lifes, being mothers, no matter the circumstances. I would like to let them know that everything is possible. If I could, everyone can. See you at the end of the quest! Thank you for reading.

"The biggest positive change is that you made me aware of the power I have within"

I received a message about day 30th so I clicked it and here I am filling this questionnaire out. It made me cry when I read that I was going to graduate. I am not a big fan of conventional schooling, but whatever your systems are they definitely speed the process up. The course is amazing.
