Breaking the Cycle of Being a Fixer

November 2, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

If you’re someone who’s always drawn to fixing others, you’ll know that breaking the cycle of being a fixer is easier said than done. It’s one of those things that starts with good intentions—you see someone struggling, and something in you says, “I can help.” So you dive in, you start peeling back the layers, digging into their pain, listening deeply. They feel understood, maybe for the first time, and you feel like you’re making a difference. But somewhere along the way, after much pain and suffering of your own, you start feeling that breaking the cycle of being a fixer starts feeling like something you “need” to do, not just something you want to do.

Living Authentically

October 30, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

The truest, most productive way to live your life is by living authentically. How do you do that? Be in joy, fully present in every moment. Don’t worry or stress about anything—just focus on being your truest, most authentic self as much as you can. This approach naturally raises your vibration, which elevates your consciousness. And when your mind is in this elevated state, you’re living in your truth, aligned with your most authentic self, and experiencing the happiest, most fulfilled version of yourself.

Living with Purpose

October 29, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

Living with purpose means finding harmony between the mind, the spirit, and our human experience. In life, we walk a tightrope between our thoughts and emotions, balancing an understanding of what it means to be human with the deeper, timeless awareness that we’re more than just flesh and bones. When we can connect with this understanding, we gain clarity and direction, opening doors to greater self-awareness and growth. The power of living with purpose shines when we begin to grasp these core ideas about life and ourselves, making way for a more fulfilling, conscious way of being.

Parallel Universes

Have you ever woken up and felt like you’re living in a completely different world, like the universe hit a reset button overnight? You know, that moment when you look around and realize everything—your taste in clothes, the music you love, even the people you hang out with—feels like it’s just… changed? I’ve been there and it’s a wild ride! This whole concept of rebirth is something I’ve been thinking a lot about in recent years, and it’s led me to a fascinating idea: what if we’re not just changing internally, but we’re literally jumping between parallel universes?

The Lesson

October 23, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

You’ve got to ask yourself—how many times have you missed a valuable lesson in life because you were too distracted by who was delivering it? That’s the core of the lesson. We get so caught up in our own egos, so concerned with appearances or tone, that we forget what’s really important. It’s not about where the truth comes from. It’s not about how it’s delivered, or whether it came from someone you respect or someone who rubbed you the wrong way. What matters is the truth itself—the lesson life is trying to teach you in that moment.

Taming the Beast Within

October 20, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

Life is a journey of growth, and sometimes that path is littered with experiences that test the core of who we are. Often, those tests reveal parts of ourselves we may not even recognize—parts that fester in the background, only surfacing under pressure. These moments, when confronted with brutal honesty, can push us to become better versions of ourselves. For some, it might take decades to confront the buried anger, fear, or shame that has shaped much of their existence. But when the light of awareness shines on those dark corners, a transformation begins—a process of taming the beast within.

Paralysis by Analysis

October 20, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

Many of us have experienced moments where our minds run wild with possibilities, solutions, and potential outcomes. It’s like being trapped in a mental loop, endlessly going over every possible scenario until we’re frozen in place. This is what’s commonly referred to as “Paralysis by Analysis.” It’s the feeling of being so caught up in thinking through every option and outcome that we end up taking no action at all.

My Battle With Fear

February 12, 2017 / Tony Jarrah / 2 Comments

If you don’t mind, I’d like to tell you a little story about my battle with the darkness of fear and depression.

It was so bad for me that depression, anxiety, and stress had taken complete control over me. This state lasted nearly a decade. I was suicidal for most of that time. I had always suffered from depression (40 years), but the last ten of those years were the worst.

It all started to change when I was riding my very powerful sports motorbike from Noosa to the Gold Coast. The ride was about 2.5 to 3 hours by freeway.

Stress, Anxiety or Depression

January 17, 2017 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

There are three states we can find ourselves in – the past, the present, or the future. If we don’t manage our thoughts and emotions, each can offer stress, anxiety, or depression.

(The following description is based on having negative thoughts, as having positive thoughts won’t normally be a problem.)

When we spend too much time in the future, we worry, this brings about some degree of stress and anxiety because we FEAR a potentially negative outcome. If we spend too much time in this state, our stress can be debilitating, and the repercussions can be lethal at the extreme. In the less extreme, being a worrier, or stressful, can give us a very unpleasant 20, 30, 40 or 50 years of life. Continuous and long term stress is a habit.

Life Is Against Us

July 16, 2016 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

I am sure that we’ve all been through hard times. At times we feel that life is against us, that perhaps God is against us! We feel that maybe we have done something in this, or in a previous life, that has come back to bite us in the butt. We must be paying for past sins. After all, we’re not bad people, right? So why are we having such a hard time?

We can go years feeling like this. For some people, it’s a lifetime of pain and misery. But why? We don’t know. So we suffer in silence. Sometimes not in silence. We fight it every day. We get angry, maybe bitter, stressed, depressed, then resigned, perpetuating our pain and suffering. But why?
