"Week by week, I was building dreams"

My Lifebook became - the one and most important book
A book that I created to envision my future
To explore the beliefs holding me back, so I can finally set time aside.
To create my dream life. 
I started with lifebook quest, that somehow put the seed for what is coming to proceed. 
I was so inspired that I wanted to share that journey with my colleagues,
so everyone can reach that point and feel what their life embodies. 
I wanted so much to share, 
An idea was born between me and a colleague six week course two areas of life per week...
My intention and wish was so strong that 2 weeks later that idea arrived in my inbox
I was stunned I couldn't believe that such serendipity is real but there it was:
 invitation from Mindvalley and Lifebook
to join Jon and Missy six week journey. 
My colleagues were left behind, but for me this was the sign
the sign that this time is mine.  
So for six weeks I became my own attorney
on the game of life that wants us all to thrive
Week by week, I was building dreams, dissolving core beliefs,
I was on that magical journey that felt so fast.
My lifebook became that joint
where it all started to fit together
where all of my roles were ready to gather
to gather in one, one ready live in the wave of life. 
The fun started after 
when I started to observe
my life transformation
moving towards my dedication.
A month later, I made a dream come true, departing for Sweden
I followed my inner voice that led me to acro bhakti yoga teacher training.
I quit my job a few months later. 
I chose to give myself the time of stillness.
The time of stillness, so I can reach that point
where I feel I am riding life together with it, 
I am trusting life the way it comes, 
and I know that this is the journey of my own evolution.
I wrote more than hundred poems
That become my totems
Totems of moments of inspiration
with words coming flawlessly in my imagination. 
We speak about transformation, change, evolution, revolution in our lifes. 
For me it was not a single moments of transformation, 
but the process of acceptance of what is present, here right now, 
aligning myself, aligning my truth with life, living outside whats inside. 
And being there in that state of oneness. 
Oneness within, oneness with every creature thats alive. 
As I believe we were all born with single purpose, 
born to thrive in unity with life.
