Finding home within yourself is the key
The Carry-On Life: How Minimalism Accelerated My Spiritual Awakening
My spiritual awakening started with a whisper in July of 2019.
At the height of my career, an inner voice said to give up all of my worldly possessions and travel the world for one year. Without hesitation I did just that. This was my greatest act of surrender and the start of two distinct journeys: the solo journey around the world and the spiritual journey within.
All of a sudden I was a minimalist. I was no longer interested in a bigger apartment or a fancy car. I didn’t care about the Joneses or keeping up with them for that matter. I wanted myself. I was 37 years old and did not know who I was at my core. Authenticity (not success) was my new North Star and I can say after six years I have finally found the meaning to MY life in these 3 core lessons:
The less you have, the more you gain
Minimalism brings you closer to God
Finding home within yourself
If this sounds like you, let me save you six years of brutal mistakes and help you streamline the greatest journey of your life.
Lesson #1: The Less You Have, The More You Gain
The material items that you think you own, actually own you.
As humans, we have this natural tendency for lifestyle creep. As we make more money, then we buy more things and these “things” become our prison. You soon learn that experiences are far more valuable than any material good ever was.
These new experiences become wisdom and that wisdom will be the most valuable asset in your new life.
Lesson # 2: Minimalism Brings You Closer to God
You are entering a season of surrender — a direct connection to Christ consciousness.
Even if you aren’t Christian, the story of Jesus Christ is one that has permeated all faiths and religions. Jesus was the ultimate minimalist because he knew everything he needed was within and you are no different. God, Source, The Universe lives within all of us and the release of your material goods is a fast pass to strengthening that relationship.
Minimalism will put you in the frequency that you are searching for.
Lesson #3: Finding Home Within Yourself
After visiting 90 countries, 30 of them as a solo traveler, I have learned to feel at home everywhere I go.
Initially, you may feel loneliness or even weird going out to eat alone day after day but suddenly the most miraculous thing happens, people become drawn to you. Your energy becomes magnetic because you are vibrating as your authentic self. Your people pleasing mask comes off as you practice only pleasing YOU.
YOU have always been the North Star of this journey and now home becomes anywhere you are.
Your soul is calling you to discover your real life — the Authentic You.
The lessons are endless and you will surely experience many of your own along this journey. That’s the point. Your soul is showing you that your inner world is the only thing that is real.
