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

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.

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.

The Angel on the Road

October 21, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

We’ve all heard those stories before—someone stranded in the middle of nowhere, usually with a broken-down car, and out of the blue, a stranger appears. This stranger is always kind and helpful, fixes the problem, and just as suddenly as they came, they vanish, like the angel on the road. These stories have a mystical quality because the setting is always remote, far from any obvious help. Naturally, the question arises: Where did this person come from, and where did they go?

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.

A Messy Fruit Salad Of Thoughts

October 19, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

Often we feel like we are stuck. We know we have things to do but perhaps we feel overwhelmed, for whatever reason. This can sometimes leave us in a frozen state, not knowing what to do, or where to start. During times like these our minds feel like a messy fruit salad of thoughts—disorganized, chaotic, and overwhelming.

Life throws a lot at us, and when we’re trying to make sense of it all, it’s easy to feel stuck, like you’re facing a vast river with no bridge in sight. But what if the way across that river wasn’t some grand leap, but rather the slow, steady process of laying down one stone at a time? What if, instead of letting the flood of thoughts drown you, you found a way to organize them—one piece at a time?

The Scorpion And The Frog

The Scorpion and the Frog: A Story of Human Nature

There is an old fable that tells a powerful truth about people and their nature. In The Scorpion and the Frog, a scorpion asks a frog to carry him across the river. At first, the frog hesitates. He knows what the scorpion is capable of, and he doesn’t want to be stung. But the scorpion argues, “If I sting you, we’ll both drown.” The frog thought about it for a minute and felt that the scorpion’s plea sounded reasonable enough, so he agrees to take the him across the river. Midway through the crossing, the frog feels a breathtakingly, painful and sudden sting right in the middle of his back, the likes of which he has ever felt, .

As the poison takes effect and they begin to sink, the frog, in disbelief, looks up at the scorpion asks, “Why did you sting me? Now we’ll both die.” The scorpion’s reply is as cold as it is simple: “I can’t help myself. It’s in my nature.”

Resisting Life 2

September 14, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

Resisting life is not a habit we can stop all at once, but there are clear steps you can take to move in that direction. It’s about shifting your mindset and cultivating practices that help you become more present and accepting of what is.

Resisting Life 1

A Path to Enlightenment

There is a thought that much of our suffering comes from a lack of enlightenment and from resisting life. This is something that really hits home when you think about it.

Life has a natural flow, like a river moving downstream, and when we resist it, when we try to fight against the current, that’s where the struggle begins.

The more we push back against this perceived struggle—whether it’s through holding on to past pain, refusing to accept change, or resisting the reality of our situation—the harder life seems to get. This is a battle we can never win because life is always moving, always changing. Life is bigger than us. However, there is light at the end of a very long tunnel. When we learn to move with life, instead of against it, things start to shift. We may not always get what we want, but the suffering from resistance softens.

Thinking Like a Raccoon

August 25, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

When you are thinking like a raccoon, the first image that might pop into your mind is a mischievous little creature with its bandit-like mask, rummaging through garbage cans or sneaking around in the night. But if we take a closer look at how raccoons operate, there’s a lot we can learn from these crafty animals, especially when it comes to achieving success.

So, what does it mean to think like a raccoon? It’s about embracing adaptability, curiosity, and persistence—all traits that can lead us to success in our own lives.
