Perfection Is Unattainable
Here is the problem with mental health that maybe our downfall in society of civilization. Human beings are equally stupid, as well as can be extremely brilliant. We all have the power to choose to create, build, love, and connected with the purpose of the action of love to be something or someone that can matter in the world.

How to Bend the World to Fit You
This week there is just one quote I can’t get out of my head. "Bend the world to fit you, don’t bend to fit the world." These are the words of Mr. Ben Brown; YouTuber/ creative content creator/ photographer/ film maker/ traveller/ absolute legend. This past year, after almost burning out, I’m trying to figure out how to make drastic changes in my life that benefit me and my mental health and how to be more in control without losing myself in the process. And I can tell you so far; it’s a bloody mess.

A Happy Life and New Beginnings
I am currently 45 years old. This January I left my job. 13 years of stress, anger, boredom, hating the guts out of everything about my job, my life, the people around me and my unfortunate habits... all of this gone with just one decision: to be happy and to take my life into my own hands. Working for others since I was 19, and doing their bidding all this time, feeling small, unimportant, useless to myself and the world. Just vanished in a day. Now what? I thought it would feel good. It did sort of, but it was mixed with ghosts of old fears, being terrified of not being good enough, of not having it in me. My mind still in overdrive, scared, tired, exhausted actually. Exhausted from years of trying to see the positive side of having a steady job, from battling on the inside knowing, that this steady job is killing me, minute by minute. Less of me every hour, day, month. Getting more uncomfortable to the verge of wanting to scream, because I couldn't take the bullshit of other people telling me things like: "Be grateful, at least you have a job..." And feeling soooo ungrateful and yet betrayed somehow. I wanted to be part of something good, something meaningful. After quitting, I couldn't slow down for four months straight. Especially in my mind. It was racing! Going from 3,000 km/h to maybe 30 was unbelievably difficult. Yes, I had some money, I don't have to worry about that for a year or so, but still, I was terrified. I had a plan and most importantly, I had a goal: to take things into my own hands and to stop waiting for my life to get better on its own. Waiting for some magical day to come, when everything can be different, easier, better, nicer... some day. Maybe.

Battle Resistance! Part I
Healing begins with us. It is our choice to move toward recovery. It is our freedom to decide to move toward our own onward. So often, though, we find ourselves getting pulled down by our thoughts. Yes, those thoughts that either encourage and empower us, or those paradigms from days gone by, that will lie, cheat, and steal to drag us back down to a cruel thought pattern, to vicious self talk.

Change & Transformation on the Route of Happiness
If you have gotten here, inside this page; probably you're one of those inside millions, like me in the past, that are feeling deeply the need of change, the necessity of transformation in an specific area, or maybe the whole way, of how you are living your life. You know there is something missing or something it is not right, like a nut that is flying away; it will soon fall and the wheel will break. But when you look around, everything seems okay for everyone; so you question yourself: Why I should feel this way?

Realizing Your Perfection
Working a number of years as a professional medium, channel, and spiritual counsel whose goal is to facilitate healing, I have noticed some disturbing commonalities and trends that I believe are contributing to the downfall of the human spirit on a massive level. They are commonalities that I believe are so damaging to mankind and society as a whole, that I can no longer remain silent and I am choosing Vocal as the first platform from which to raise my voice on these important issues. Mine is a profession most often sought out during life's more difficult situations, and I feel very blessed and honored to offer validation, guidance, and love to my clients at what is quite often, one of the most vulnerable times of their lives. I also take a great deal of responsibility for the information and energy I offer my clients and the world as a whole, and I want my readers to know the same is true of these writings.

In the Pursuit Of... Purpose
When we were children we were asked one question consistently throughout the years: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Depending on your parents and their parenting style, this would often be followed up by their vision of what you are 'supposed' to become according to their lack of imagination or failed dreams, or in most cases, what the neighbours might be most envious of. From a young age we instill in children the need to become someone admirable in the community. but this is usually linked to material worth and social standing. As a result we develop a need for validation from outside forces when it comes to making the biggest decisions of our lives at a time when we really don't need to be making massive commitments to things that we probably don't even have the passion or drive to do. In a lot of cases the driving force behind big decisions around being lawyers or doctors or anything deemed socially 'important' often derives from a place of fear... often, not all the time. Should we really be allowing fear to be the driving force when it comes to career choices?

Silver Lining
Sometimes you just get stuck. In life, in everything. Currently, I am stuck with my writing. I am in the process of writing this book, chapter by chapter. So much of what I need to write is painful, and I know I need to write it. But I can’t write it out of order. At least, I am struggling with not writing it out of order. There are so many good things, great memories that I intend to share. It just seems like I can’t write those chapters until I get this pain out. I have literally been trying for weeks to come up with the topic of my next chapter, and I haven’t found one that satisfies me.

Loving Yourself
I want to talk to you frankly about the idea of loving yourself deeply. I know that many of us might have our insecurities, ones we don’t want to let out in public, in fear that someone might have a perspective that we aren’t good enough. So what do we do? We try to hide behind fake smiles to try and fit in with the other ones who seem happy and hopeful, when in reality they might be faking it as well. Those times that pass by us, those times when we could not comprehend our own mind and soul when all we want to do is to skip to the top, jump over all of the riddles and obstacles to easily reach that lie that we do love ourselves.

Do You Believe in Miracles?
On those days that you aren't feeling quite yourself or worse if the anguish inside you is so intense that it's painful, physically painful to even face the world. On those days that you think life isn't worth living because you're feeling bad about your shitty life and the shitty things that keep happening to you. And maybe you sit at home all alone and wonder if you are ever going to catch a break.
