Web3 es la nueva generación de internet que cambia la forma en que interactuamos online. A diferencia de la web tradicional, Web3 descentraliza el poder: tú controlas tu información en lugar de depender de grandes empresas.

Gracias a la tecnología blockchain, en Web3 no necesitas usuarios ni contraseñas tradicionales. Tu billetera digital es tu identidad: te permite acceder a todas las aplicaciones, guardar tus activos digitales, crear tokens, NFTs y realizar/recibir pagos de forma segura.

Es como un plugin que instalas en tu navegador o una app en tu móvil, pero que tienes auto-custodia y control total sobre tus fondos y contenido.

Qué es Base?

Desde 2016, Coinbase, el exchange mas grande de crypto activos en Estados Unidos, se propuso una ambiciosa meta: incorporar a más de un billón de usuarios al ecosistema de la economía descentralizada. Base es el resultado de esa visión.

La red de Base está construida para empoderar a constructores, creadores y personas de todo el mundo para crear apps, hacer crecer negocios, crear lo que aman y ganar dinero onchain. Es rápida, abierta y construida para escalar globalmente.

This article works as a channel to share this powerful knowledge with people who share this passion for the language of Music like I do. Thank you for tuning in.

Today we will be talking about precise temperament tuning and its major significance. Let's dive in!

The Universal Language of Math & Music

As most of us know, Math and Music are actually one. The language that we can see in the form in geometry is also just the sound the we enjoy. Everything is frequency, everything vibrates.

Pythagoras, was one of the people who understood this idea and he's credited with discovering that musical harmony arises from simple numerical relationships between vibrating strings. This discovery happened after he heard pleasing sounds coming from a blacksmith's shop and realized that hammers of different weights produced different pitches in mathematical ratios. He experimented this same concept with strings and he found that dividing a string into simple ratios produced harmonious intervals.

For example, when you press a string at its midpoint (a 2:1 ratio), you get an octave - the same note but higher. A 3:2 ratio produces a perfect fifth, while 4:3 gives you a perfect fourth. These ratios are what we use today to create musical scales and is known as Just Temperament.

But! If you start to populate a scale with the intervals of 3/2 as a major third, like Pythagoras proposed, after a while it becomes impossible to double the octave through a major third. This is why Pythagorean comma was invented, so it makes up for this slight difference that this length of interval creates.

What this means is basically that this approach is not truly perfectly harmonic. It does not reflect a perfect geometric correspondence.

Precise Temperament Tuning

Precise temperament tuning replaces that 3/2 major third interval with 1.26 which is the cube root of 2. And using this interval approach we can find that not only it can provide a perfect octave but also each note in the scale has a perfect digital sum of 9.

This tuning approach is a tangible form of Sacred Geometry, which is the divine blueprint of consciousness and energy. The term Geo actually comes from Gaia, Mother Earth. And Metro, refers to Measure, everything is expression in geometry. This expression is embedded code of existence, woven into the very fabric of the universe.

So why shouldn't sound and music have the same code?

The signature of the source, is balance and harmony in creation. We shouldn't impose slight differences or make up for rules that are not perfect. I mean, apparently for most of us, it has worked like this for many years, but this major insight reveal a truth that now allows us to experience music in a revealing way. Opening the path for new possibilities in divine harmonic perfection.

Why is this Relevant for New Music Experiences?

Our modern society, for the most part, has molded our culture and minds to believe that Music is merely a form of entertainment and pleasure right?. In addition to that, the speed technological and human events is astonishing and can constitute a barrier to creating and also appreciating music and arts with the willingness it deserves. Maybe the real challenge with Music is not the visibility within the algorithms, or the fame, social media or monetization. Maybe the real challenge is not a matter of audio quality or the tools we use. Art and Music comes down to Feelings and Experiences.

What can we feel if we have the right aperture? What can we feel if we explore beyond the rules?

What if it was the perpetuation of the traditional language and way of listening to music, based on our habitual sensory experience, was what is limiting the perception of new musical dimensions? Scales, Key and Tempo grids, traditional tuning and just temperament, constitute the musical gravity of this language -our innate sense of musical "weight." What if we go take off to different musical planets and dimensions removing these rules?

The possibilities are infinite when we know Music is spiritual technology capable of transforming consciousness and revealing the hidden dimensions of reality. Able to reveal reveal cosmic knowledge and universal truths. Geometry not only the divine blueprint of creation, it's the music we listen with our sight. Is it possible that all that we see is a musical harmony beyond or below our audible spectrum. Is it possible that Sound emanating out from the Silence is what separates light from darkness?

I will close this article with the invitation to explore this type of approach and tuning. Hope this resonates with you at some degree, I just really enjoy this types of discussion around music I feel the personal responsibility to share it with the world and the friends that support me along the way.

I have one .tun file (VST Tuning File) in 432 Hertz Precise Temperament Tuning, a very rare gem that you've unlocked just by reading this entire article. Here's the Google Drive Link for it.

We had the model, but didn't have a clear option on what to sell. And that's when we arrived to Supliful and the supplements and beauty products niche. Our main purpose was doing something that would serve a higher purpose and not exclusively benefit us. We believed building a brand on this specific market was definitely in sync with that goal.

For me personally, supplements have been something that helped me tremendously in my life. I have 4+ years sober, and taking supplements like Magnesium, Zinc and healthy proteins and vitamins have supported my health and wellbeing during my battle against psychiatric medication dependency and marihuana. So definitely the idea of transforming my experience into brand, into a message and products was something that convinced me to move forward.

We didn't even know we need to legally establish a company to sell online, how to build a website and so much other things and skills. But I asked friends and family, watched so many videos and had reads on all this topics and took the leap of faith to start.

Here are the main tools and sites I used to start my first business

Northwest Agency: A registered agent service to start and maintain businesses.

This is the company we chose to to set up our first LLC. We are non-US citizens and this was the best option for us to create our business in the United States. The process with them is pretty straightforward and process were very clear. They have affordable prices and overall we had a great experience with them. I would definitely recommend taking a look at this service if you wish to start an LLC from 0. They helped us get our EIN, fill our annual report and the dissolution also of the LLC was pretty easy. Basically any questions you have regarding any procedure or documentation they have you covered.

Shopify: E-commerce platform to build and manage your online store

Shopify became the backbone of our entire operation. This platform made it incredibly simple to create a professional-looking online store without any coding knowledge. We were able to buy our domain and customize our store design, manage products, process orders, and track our business performance all in one place. Designing the store was very very challenging because, I had literally 0 experience. However the integration with the Supliful plug-in (our provider) and the free site templates we're helpful. Without Shopify, launching our brand would have been significantly more complicated.

Supliful: White-label supplement and beauty product supplier

Discovering Supliful was a game-changer for our business model. They handled all the manufacturing, packaging, and shipping of our products, allowing us to focus on building our brand and marketing. Their platform made it easy to select products, customize labels with our branding, and connect directly to our Shopify store. Every time a customer placed an order, Supliful would automatically fulfill it without us having to manage inventory or shipping logistics. This reduced our startup costs significantly and eliminated the need for storage space. The quality of products was consistently high, and their customer service was responsive whenever we had questions.

WISE: provides global money transfer services

For payments we used Wise, which is not a bank itself but acts as one. This service allowed us to have an account on the US and helped us send and receive money internationally. The payments we received from our shop we're received from our Shopify shop via Stripe to this account on Wise. The offer competitive exchange rates and low fees, it simply worked for us.

Tips:

1. Invest a lot of timing in SEO, for you products, descriptions, pages, images, literally everything. 2. Don't invest in paid promotion if you don't have a budget of over 300 USD to spend on an add campaign and go for Google Ads instead of Meta. 3. Don't give anything for free.

All these tools and platforms proved invaluable for launching our business, but the real treasure lies in what's less tangible. The foundational values and innovative approach towards nutrition and self-care we developed. Elemental Splendor, this became our north star throughout this entrepreneurial journey.

The Problem:

• In today's rushed world, people consume nutrients mindlessly—gulping smoothies and taking supplements without awareness

• This leads to widespread nutritional deficiencies and declining mental health

• Despite abundant wellness products, we remain disconnected from true nourishment

Our Solution:

• Elemental Splendor's Conscious Nutrient Activation mindful approach

• A revolutionary method that transforms how you engage and experience nourishment

• A comprehensive guide bringing mindfulness and intention to consumption

The Benefits:

• Measurable improvements in nutrient absorption

• Significant stress reduction

• Addresses root causes of wellness challenges, not just symptoms

• Creates sustainable change in your relationship with health

• Delivers benefits that extend far beyond conventional supplementation

  The True Value Behind Our Journey

For us, the most valuable outcome wasn't measured in sales figures or follower counts, but in our personal transformation. The patience we cultivated while waiting for results, the consistency we maintained through challenging periods, the flexibility to adapt our strategies, and the persistence to overcome obstacles—these qualities reshaped us as human beings.

Our business may have closed its doors due to a low volume of sales, but what remains is far more precious: a deepened understanding of what it takes to run a business, enhanced resilience in the face of uncertainty, and the wisdom gained in our relationship. This journey taught us that true entrepreneurship isn't just about building a company—it's about building and discovering yourself.

As you consider your own entrepreneurial path, remember that beyond the practical tools and business models lies the potential for profound personal growth. This might be the greatest return on investment you'll ever receive.

Looking back, I can identify several key attributes that were essential throughout this journey:

Patience became our most important virtue. The results we had didn't happen overnight, and there were many moments when it felt like we were putting in tremendous effort without seeing immediate returns. I learned that building something worthwhile takes time—whether it's establishing brand recognition, optimizing marketing strategies, or waiting for customers to discover us. The market doesn't respond immediately, and understanding this helped us maintain perspective during slow periods.

Consistency Showing up daily to work on the business, even when motivation was low, created compound effects over time. This meant regular social media updates, continuous website improvements, re inventing our strategy, and ongoing market research. The days when we didn't feel inspired or had arguments but worked anyway often led to unexpected breakthroughs.

Flexibility was crucial in adapting to changing circumstances. Our initial business plan evolved significantly as we gained real-world experience and feedback. We had to pivot our marketing approach several times, adjust product prices and ways to funnel our audience. Being too rigid would have prevented us from making necessary changes. The willingness to admit when something wasn't working and adapt became one of our strengths.

Persistence carried us through numerous challenges and setbacks. There were technical issues with the website, shipping delays, customer service challenges, and marketing campaigns that failed to perform as expected. Each obstacle tested our commitment, but pushing through these difficulties ultimately provided the most valuable learning experiences. I discovered that most problems have solutions if you're willing to persistently work through them rather than give up at the first sign of trouble.

While closing this chapter of our entrepreneurial journey feels bittersweet, I view it as a success story—not measured by profit margins, but our personal growth. The skills and mindset developed during this year have transformed how we approach challenges in all areas of life. Most importantly, we've proven to ourselves that taking calculated risks and stepping into unfamiliar territory leads to the most profound development.

For anyone considering starting their first business, remember that the value extends beyond financial outcomes. The person you become through the process—more resilient, knowledgeable, and confident—is perhaps the greatest return on investment. Whether your venture thrives for decades or serves as a stepping stone to something else, the experience itself is invaluable.

Our Lasting Legacy: The Elemental Splendor E-Book

While our business journey has concluded, its essence lives on through our most valuable creation—the Elemental Splendor guide to Conscious Nutrient Activation. Throughout our entrepreneurial adventure, we discovered the profound disconnection between modern consumers and the nutrients they consume, which became the foundation of our philosophy.

In a world of rushed consumption and mindless supplementation, we developed a revolutionary approach to nutrition that brings consciousness and intention to nourishment. Though our online store has closed, this message remains powerfully relevant.

Our e-book offers:

• The science of nutrient absorption and the mind-body connection

• Practical techniques for mindful consumption including intention-setting and gratitude

• Physical activation methods that boost nutrient absorption through various exercises

• Strategies for timing, recovery, and personalizing your practice

• Tools for overcoming challenges and creating sustainable wellness habits

  

If you've connected with my entrepreneurial journey, I invite you to explore the culmination of our vision. The Elemental Splendor E-Book presents a choice—to continue with disconnected consumption or embrace a transformative approach to nourishment that creates lasting change in your overall well-being.

Are you ready to transform life, one mindful moment at a time?

Though our business chapter has closed, the wisdom continues to flow—just as your journey toward mindful wellness can begin today.

Les escribo desde un lugar que no aparece en ningún mapa.

El reloj marca las me importa verga y media. Y a este destino sólo puedes llegar perdiéndote.

Por la esquina del creyendo que sólo hay vivir desde el amor y la calle de los semi-Dioses sin unción.

La paz, y la felicidad son sólo una minúscula parte de la infinita estupidez de la maravillosa existencia humana.

El dolor, lo mismo pero más denso. Más tangible y más eterno que un puto recuerdo sin sentido que no muere.

Espectro vital diverso, un arcoíris incluyente. Hay que sentirlo todo y hay que soltar aun mas.

La llave del cubo está hecha de ira y lagrimas. Disculpa que no me disculpe, es que la rueda no para de girar.

Venís a vomitar dolores y sin sabores. Gratitud vencida y sonrisas de influencers.

Hoy estas letras que te leen, pero en braille tus cicatrices. Mi favorita es la que no te hiciste, y esa no fue por ser valiente.

Pagas sentencia en una mente, sin saber a quién mataste. Mira tu alma no es agente, matriz prisión puta insolente.

¿El tiempo es mudo amigo mío, pero a los demonios quien les susurra al oído?

¿A qué horas se levantan las pesadillas?

¿Y porqué madrugan tanto?

I have struggled with this myself for most of my life to be honest. A dependent worthiness that fluctuates depending on whatever happens outside. There I have managed to come up with multiple mechanisms that made me believe, for a very short period of time that I was "working" on my self-worth.

Perfectionism emerges as a primary defense mechanism, where we meticulously create an external persona of flawlessness, believing that impeccable performance will silence internal and even unconscious doubts. This is closely followed by the strategy of perpetual busyness—a relentless cycle of overcommitment designed to create the illusion of value through constant productivity. This is very common in college students and young professionals, filling our schedules with numerous activities, clubs, and responsibilities, leaving minimal space for us and genuine self-reflection. The third prevalent strategy involves seeking external validation through relationships, where we unconsciously hope that romantic partnership will serve as the ultimate stamp of our personal worth. And let's not leave aside seeking validation with likes, followers and money, same thing.

Each of these approaches shares a common fundamental flaw: they are temporary emotional band-aids that provide momentary relief but never address the root of the real psychological wound of feeling fundamentally unworthy. As achievements are accomplished, the goalposts of self-worth are immediately shifted, creating an exhausting and perpetual chase that ultimately reinforces the original feelings of inadequacy. The harsh reality is that no external achievement, relationship, or performance can consistently sustain one's sense of personal value.

In the landscape of modern mental health, a profound and often overlooked phenomenon is silently sabotaging individual and collective well-being: the epidemic of unworthiness. While physical diseases receive extensive medical attention, this psychological condition remains largely invisible, yet its impact is impactful.

The statistics are alarming. According to the World Health Organization, depression has emerged as the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide—a stark revelation that surpasses traditional medical concerns like diabetes, physical injury, or cancer. The Anxiety and Depression Association of America reports that 40 million adults suffer from anxiety disorders, a number equivalent to almost five times the population of New York City.

Beyond these numbers lies a critical underlying mechanism: low self-worth. This is not merely a personal emotional state, but a systemic psychological condition that manifests through various destructive pathways:

• Emotional Numbing: Individuals may opt out of life experiences

• Substance Abuse: Using drugs and alcohol as coping mechanisms

• Increased Suicide Risk: The profound pain of feeling unworthy can lead to extreme psychological distress

Multiple contemporary factors contribute to this widespread sense of unworthiness:

1. Media and Advertising: Constant messaging that personal value is tied to consumption

2. Digital Culture: Social media's relentless comparison engines

3. Educational Systems: Reducing human worth to numerical performance metrics

4. Traumatic Experiences: Abuse, assault, and systemic marginalization

Many people conflate self-worth with self-esteem, but they are very different concepts. Self-esteem fluctuates based on achievements, social status, and perceived success. In contrast, unconditional self-worth is a fundamental belief that you are inherently valuable simply because you exist.

Research from the American Psychological Review reveals that individuals practicing unconditional self-acceptance demonstrate:

• Enhanced neural plasticity

• Reduced cortisol stress responses

• Improved emotional regulation mechanisms

• Neuroscientific Mechanisms of Self-Perception

Groundbreaking neuroimaging studies from the Journal of Neuroscience reveal that:

• Positive self-perception activates reward centers in the brain

• Unconditional self-acceptance reduces amygdala hyperactivity

• Neural pathways of self-compassion can be deliberately strengthened

Dr. Kristin Neff, a leading self-compassion researcher from the University of Texas, argues, "Unconditional self-worth is not about self-indulgence, but about recognizing our shared human experience. It's the antidote to the toxic culture of conditional acceptance."

Forgiveness is the first step towards healing. This involves:

• Acknowledging past mistakes without judgment

• Understanding the circumstances that led to those moments

• Learning from experiences

• Genuinely telling yourself, "I forgive you"

Society bombards us with messages about how we should look, act, and be. True self-worth emerges when we:

• Let go of idealized versions of ourselves

• Celebrate our unique qualities

• Appreciate our quirks and imperfections

• Recognize our inherent value beyond external standards

During challenging times, we often become our harshest critics. Instead, learn to:

• Acknowledge your emotional pain

• Offer yourself comfort and understanding

• Practice gentle self-talk

• Treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer a dear friend

Isolation intensifies feelings of unworthiness. Counteract this by:

• Surrounding yourself with supportive, understanding individuals

• Sharing your struggles

• Recognizing that challenges are universal human experiences

• Creating a network that affirms your inherent value

Imagine a world where individuals recognize their intrinsic value beyond external achievements. This paradigm shift could fundamentally transform human interactions, reducing conflict, promoting empathy, and creating more compassionate social structures.

• Reduce interpersonal conflicts

• Encourage more authentic self-expression

• Promote mental health and well-being

• Create more compassionate communities

Cultivating unconditional self-worth is a courageous, ongoing journey. It demands vulnerability, patience, and consistent practice. Remember: your worth is not determined by performance, appearance, or external validation—you are inherently valuable. And to be honest, it's not merely a scientifically validated path to psychological liberation, it's a divine truth.

God made you and all of his works are wonderful. Your worth is not a performance metric, your worthiness is not something to be earned. It's sacred fundamental truth to be recognized and lived.

Durante mucho tiempo, me dediqué a entregarle mi poder personal a situaciones y actores externos. Incluso cargué con el peso de la culpa ficticia, hasta que estuve preparado para comprender que esa forma de pensar y sentir ya no me sirve, y de hecho, nunca lo hizo. No estaba dispuesto a cargar con algo que ni siquiera es mío, ni un segundo más.

Hoy, decido que todas las creencias limitantes se queden atrás, de una vez por todas y encaminar mis pasos a desaprender el concepto que tenía de la vida y el amor.

¿Dios Tiene La Culpa?

Fui adoptado al nacer, no tengo ninguna información sobre mis padres biológicos. Ni siquiera pasé 5 minutos en los brazos de mi madre biológica. Afortunadamente, el 14 de julio de 1989 me reciben con brazos abiertos una familia hermosa, amorosa y numerosa. No había espacio para pensar o preguntarme de dónde venía realmente. Crecí rodeado de muchos primos y amigos de la familia, compartiendo momentos muy bonitos. Nos recuerdo pasando nuestros fines de semana en reuniones, fiestas y viajes familiares. Muchos de ellos en el campo, en Valle del Cauca y Antioquia para ser exactos, Colombia, mi tierra natal. Son momentos y recuerdos que llevo en el alma y valoro con gratitud.

Sin embargo, el amor de toda mi familia y de la vida misma fue suficiente para esa versión de mi que empezaba experimentar un vacío y dolor inexplicable. . Al menos así se sentía en ese momento. Mamá siempre me hablaba de Dios, quien vivía en el cielo y  lo era todo. Lo mejor básicamente, bueno ya saben, lo que generalmente nos enseñan sobre quién es Dios. También me dijo que me amaba tanto que me había dado dos mamás. Me hablaba con amor y me contaba que incluso tenemos ángeles que siempre nos cuidan. Amaba mi vida, lo tenía todo, amaba a Dios, crecí en una familia numerosa y acomodada, era feliz. Eso fue hasta el día en que asesinaron a mi padre, justo frente a mí en México DF cuando estaba por cumplir 5 años. Aprendí a esquivar balas de rifle automático desde entonces. Mi hermano pequeño y yo estábamos sentados en el asiento trasero del auto. Salimos con mi padre y el chofer, y hicimos un alto en un semáforo debajo de un puente. Yo estaba jugando con un compartimiento de basura retráctil de la puerta izquierda del carro. Cuando los disparos comenzaron a llover sobre el coche. Al escuchar los disparos, instantáneamente me agaché para proteger a mi hermano. Y aun creo que por él es que estoy aquí, si no me hubiese agachado, no estaría contando esta historia. Te amo hermanito, gracias.

Me surgieron miles de preguntas y mi vacío sólo creció más. Ya saben cuando dicen que todo es perfecto, bueno, para mí es algo cierto. A veces pienso que es una forma cobarde de aceptar lo que pasó, y otras veces pienso que si todos esos eventos nunca hubieran ocurrido, no estaría donde estoy ahora. Es verdad, y también es cierto que algunda versión alternativa de esa historia podría haber tenido un final feliz. En fin, el camino difícil me trajo hasta aquí, ¿Y qué importa?

Como pueden imaginar, un trauma así puede causar estragos en un niño pequeño, no solo en mí, sino en mi hermano menor, mi hermana, mi madre, nuestra familia y amigos. Continué mi vida con una ira inmensurable, resentimiento, culpando a todo y a todos como dije, era demasiado dolor disfrazado. Y bueno, podríamos pasar el resto de nuestras vidas hablando sobre cómo todos nuestros momentos difíciles nos afectaron. Cuántos errores cometimos. Cómo algunas personas nos lastimaron. Cómo perdimos algunas de ellas. ¿Cómo muchas cosas no funcionaron para nosotros, bla bla bla y esto y aquello y lo otro. O simplemente podemos contar nuestra historia SIN estar en modo víctima. Ser tan pesimistas y derrotistas al respecto es inútil, ¿para qué?

Cuando comencé a escribir este artículo, solo quería compartir mi historia y conectar con personas que resonaran con mi mensaje. Pero la vida me mostró una mejor manera de abordar esto.

Me di cuenta de que NO estoy aquí para cumplir las expectativas de nadie, no soy un competidor, y mi vida no es una carrera. Seguramente has escuchado esto antes, pero bueno, parece que tenías que leerlo nuevamente hoy. Una vez comprendí, a través de un despertar espiritual muy intenso (sí, me gustaría decir intenso porque lo es) que realmente estaba viviendo en piloto automático, las cosas comenzaron a cambiar. A qué me refiero con esto:

Inconscientemente, pasé todos estos años de mi vida repitiendo los patrones de vida de otras personas, y eso solo significa que mi cerebro funciona perfectamente. Aprendemos qué es la Vida y replicamos lo que se vive a nuestro alrededor en los primeros 7 años de nuestras vidas. Imitamos el significado del Amor, el Dinero, las Relaciones y la dinámica de todas las áreas de nuestras vidas de lo que nos rodea, que es principalmente la vida de nuestros padres y lo que nos impone una sociedad pre-fabricada. Con sus estándares y realidades preestablecidas.

Necesitaba liberarme de ellos lo antes posible porque ESA era la razón por la que no estaba logrando lo que quería para mi vida. Comencé a creer y a reclamar mi poder personal sobre mi vida y empecé a experimentar una gran sensación de libertad y autoridad sobre mi vida.

En el curso de esta experiencia, la relación que comencé a tener con Dios, el universo, la fuerza, el destino, la energía, como quieras llamarlo, aprendí, experimenté y me rendí ante el amor incondicional verdadero. Toqué fondo tan fuerte que lo único que pude encontrar allí abajo fue AMOR, y no lo que pensaba que era eso. Me rendí ante algo más grande que yo, que mi ego, para que me enseñara, para que me mostrara, y eso hizo. Estoy eternamente agradecido porque simplemente me había cansado de sentirme vacío, estaba tan agotado de tratar de controlar todo en mi vida sin ningún resultado. Me permití creer en algo hacia lo que siempre había sentido resentimiento y odio, y con esto me refiero a DIOS. Sí, supongo que odiaba a Dios y a todo en el fondo, me di cuenta que también me odiaba a mí mismo.

Para llamar la atención, sí, y porque simplemente no sabía hacerlo mejor. Y me pregunté:

No, ya tuve suficiente de eso. Abrí mis ojos para reconocer que ese patrón de comportamiento insano y me enfoque en cambiarlo.

Y claramente, mi historia de vida y mi manera de vivir, afectaba mi salud significativamente. A los ojos de los mejores médicos, mi bienestar y mi salud mental siempre dependerían de las drogas psiquiátricas. No había posibilidad de llevar mi diario vivir sin esa dependencia, esto era algo imposible para la medicina. Fui "diagnosticado" con trastorno bipolar, desencadenado por el abuso de alcohol y marihuana. Consumo que empezó cuando en los primeros semestres de mis estudios en la universidad. Eso no solo condicionaba mi salud mental, sino que me afectó en todas las áreas de mi vida por más de 14 años. Mi familia, mi carrera, mis relaciones... Mental, física y emocionalmente fue una hermosa lección, el evento más significativo que he experimentado hasta hoy. Después de un proceso transformativo de consciencia, voluntad y disciplina, me liberé de la adicción. Hoy soy una persona  100% sobria, sano. Después de más de 13 años de dependencia a medicamentos psiquiátricos y marihuana.

Me abro hoy para compartir esta historia porque sé con certeza que hubo una fuerza más grande que yo, quien me dio este reto como un regalo, por más duro, difícil e imposible que pudiera ser para mí. Fue lo suficientemente difícil, para superarlo. Dios trabaja de maneras misteriosas, y puso todo en mi, para que yo pudiera aprender y sanar. Por supuesto con el apoyo incondicional de mi familia y seres queridos. Sin olvidar el papel que jugaron las personas y las situaciones que se sortearon para que ese resultado llegara. Ahora que miro hacia atrás, sé que Dios siempre ha estado a mi lado, y tengo la certeza de que siempre lo estará.

Dios es grande...No le importa si crees en él o no. No le importa si eres BUENO o MALO, o AMBOS. Dios nos ama, aparentemente sin razón, simplemente porque sí. Nos ama porque ÉL es amor, así de simple. Un PODER SUPERIOR que nos ama porque somos sus hijos, y él es un padre que ama incondicionalmente. Sí, superior... Hay algunas cosas que simplemente no dependen de mí, y lo entiendo completamente. Puedo dar lo mejor de mí, esforzarme y luchar tanto como pueda, ¿sabes? Ejecutar mi mejor plan, actuar siendo la mejor versión de mí mismo o lo que sea, y aun así, algunas cosas NO dependen de mí, simplemente NO. A veces, no importa qué tan grandioso y talentoso seas o creas que seas o si tus planes son perfectos e impecables, NO ESTAMOS EN ABSOLUTO CONTROL DE TODO.

Podemos permitirnos quejarnos sobre las cosas complicadas y cuestionables de la vida. Enojarnos, irritarnos, estar tristes, ser cobardes al respecto, llorar, gritar o lo que sea durante un par de minutos de nuestras vidas, y luego simplemente parar y seguir adelante para dar lo mejor de nosotros nuevamente, eso es saludable. Lo que no es nada sano es vivir toda la vida en modo de víctimas. Ceder nuestro poder personal, atribuyéndole la responsabilidad de nuestra vida a agentes externos. Siendo honestos, yo todavía lo hago durante un par largos minutos, me quejo, culpo y juzgo. Algún día serán segundos en esa “divertida actividad”.

Está bien si sentimos lo que sea, los sentimientos son solo sentimientos, y no nos definen. Somos más grandes que nuestros problemas, Dios es más grande que nuestros sentimientos, más grande que nuestros pensamientos, más grande que lo que pensamos que es Dios. Desearía tener control sobre todo, lo deseo. Creo que eso me haría sentir seguro, pero afortunadamente no lo tengo, y aceptar eso en mi vida, que no estoy 100% a cargo, me quitó un peso de los hombros, simplemente no es mi trabajo. Y no es renunciar a mi poder y responsabilidad personal, es generar un espacio y una actitud de apertura y receptividad en mi vida para conectar con lo divino.

Los sentimientos son solo sentimientos y las lecciones son solo lecciones si no aprendo de ellas. Mi trabajo es aprender, y desaprender lo que no sirve a mi propósito de vida para crear mi propia realidad. Mi trabajo es disfrutar la vida, y mi trabajo es inspirar y servir a otros con lo que Dios ha puesto en mí. Él es un maestro asombroso, me da lecciones de humildad también. ¡y me educa en casa duramente! Del tipo de clase "siéntate y déjame hacer mi trabajo". Me siento afortunado de poder vivir una relación con ese poder superior de esta forma.

Me despierto y me acuesto agradeciéndole por todas las cosas hermosas de mi vida, por su generosidad, por su protección, por su guía, por las dificultades, por los desafíos... Por todo, por la comida en mi plato, por mi hogar, por mi familia, por mis dones y habilidades, por mis debilidades, por mis colegas y amigos, por todo. Creo firmemente en el poder mágico de la gratitud, en fortalecer todos los días mi habilidad de poder dar gracias ante cualquier circunstancia, positiva o negativa. Entendiendo que siempre tengo y recibo lo que necesito para aprender y continuar evolucionando. Comprendiendo que todo sirve un propósito perfecto y practico la gratitud en su esplendor.

Y obvio, tenemos necesidades terrenales, necesidades mundanas estúpidas claro! Por eso elegí dejar de perseguir la pureza en la perfección y comencé a abrazar mi condición humana y simplemente disfrutar consciente y responsablemente todo lo que puedo.

Soltar ideales impuestos, dejar de romantizar la vida y resignificar nuestros ídolos (poder, dinero, placer), para ofrecer y liberar en Gratitud todo lo que ya no está alineado con nuestro Propósito Divino es una tarea crucial en nuestra evolución personal. Hay que rendirnos al Amor Incondicional de Dios y servirle a esta vida con Humildad, Pasión y Bondad.

Tengo que aceptar el hecho de que no quiero experimentar mi viaje espiritual y mi vida en general, tratando de encajar en un molde, tratando de replicar una perspectiva preestablecida de la vida. Decido día a día, crear mi propia realidad. Porque Idealizar la vida perfecta y correr en círculos haciendo lo que otros piensan que es correcto, me hizo esclavo de esos ideales.

La envidia es enemiga de la felicidad, por eso tuve que dejar de comparar mi definición de éxito con la de otros. Se convierten en esfinges y el verdadero significado de la vida es lo que sucede mientras estoy dando mi atención a todas esas cosas mundanas. Mi definición de éxito debería ser lo que ya he logrado, lo que he superado y la persona que soy hoy. Soy pleno, ya soy exitoso, me siento completo. Es un error querer alimentar ideas de fracaso, frustración y vacío, eso no me llevará a donde quiero ir. Pensar, sentir, hablar y actuar  basado en nuestros valores fundamentales, y priorizando nuestro poder interior y nuestro propósito superior nos sitúa en nuestras metas.

In my personal quest, for self-discovery, sound always played an important role. I began using sound to meditate, making much easier to concentrate and achieve profound meditational states. The use of binaural beats, isochronic tones, solfeggio frequencies and other sacred frequencies proved me over time the its immense power. Sound has deep connections into our emotions, thoughts, and even physiological responses.

Throughout history for thousands of years human beings have been using sound to access deeper states of consciousness, expand awareness and heal our body. Chanting, singing bowls, meditation gongs, and mantras are some ways we've used sound for these benefits.

The Impact on Human Consciousness

Our brain processes information electrically, communicating with cellular structures within specific frequency bands. This understanding forms the basis of how external frequencies can influence our perceptions and states of mind.

Every emotional state generates its own frequency. Hate resonates differently from love, just as conflict-filled environments emit distinct frequencies. These frequencies can alter the electromagnetic fields around us, influencing how we perceive and interact with our surroundings. Even every organ of our body has a specific resonating frequency.

Sound also has the ability to embed messages below the threshold of conscious perception. These messages can directly target the subconscious, shaping beliefs, emotions, and actions. Such subtle influence can lead to collective responses, triggering mass emotions like rage or unrest.

The Power of Frequencies

As a producer, I started experimenting with 432 Hertz tuning in all of my music, noticing significant changes. Music felt more easy to hear, I didn’t get tired as fast working and composing, I could last longer working without ear fatigue. I also noticed the emotion in my songs where not as overwhelming. Compared to 440 Hertz where I found them exaggerated. In traditional tuning sad songs felt even more intense, happy songs felt more euphoric. I would definitely encourage you to experiment this on your own, look for a 432 Hertz version of your favorite song and compare in this particular aspect.

The Golden Tuning Technology of 432 Hertz amplifies the foundational coherence of the body, harmonically aligning our nervous system, health, well-being, and increased creative cognition-inspiration. The potential healing properties of 432 Hz music, citing studies that suggest it can reduce anxiety, improve sleep and immune response, lower blood pressure, and have positive effects on overall well-being.  Research shows that music affects digestion, internal secretion, blood circulation, nutrition, breathing, etc.

It affects the body in two ways:

1. With a direct effect, i.e. influence of sound on cells and organs

2. Indirectly - through the impact on emotions and our subconscious mind, which in turn influence many processes in the human body.

“There's no organ system in the body that's not affected by sound, music, and vibration. You can look at disease as a form of disharmony.” — Mitchell Gaynor.

This is where the language of the universe, biology, the intelligence of compassionate love, consciousness, genetics, and sacred geometry dance together in synergy. This frequency is obtained in an interesting way: 24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds = 86400/2 = 43200. Historically, many ancient cultures, from the Egyptians to the Greeks, understood and utilized the power of sound. Pythagoras, for instance, spoke of the 'music of the spheres,' which is intrinsically linked to the harmonic principles of 432 Hz.

A Practical Guide to 432 Hz

To start your journey with 432 Hz, you can retune your musical instruments or look for 432 Hz versions of your favorite songs. Many apps and software tools can help you retune your music collection. Incorporate 432 Hz music into your daily routines, whether during meditation, yoga, or simply for relaxation.

In today’s digital age, accessing and utilizing 432 Hz music has never been easier. Numerous apps, streaming services, and digital tools allow anyone to experience the benefits of this frequency. Apps like Audacity make it simple to retune your favorite songs, and there are entire playlists on platforms like Spotify and YouTube dedicated to 432 Hz music. Wearable technology, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers, is starting to incorporate sound therapy features, promising a future where personalized sound healing is just a tap away.

Resources for Your 432 Hz Journey:

• Tuning Apps: Use apps like Audacity or G-Tune to retune your music.

• Digital Audio Workstations:

• Online Communities: Join forums and social media groups dedicated to 432 Hz music.

• Playlists: Explore playlists on streaming platforms that feature 432 Hz music.

The journey into the world of 432 Hz has been transformative. As I continue to explore and understand the depths of this frequency, I am constantly amazed by its potential to harmonize, heal, and inspire. I’m strongly committed to the restoration of the value of music and arts in general through conscious creativity and innovation. I compose music using 432 Hertz tuning and sacred tones creating energetically programmed fields to transmute emotions, traumas and bring awareness to problematics like addiction and mental health. Whether you are a musician, a meditator, or someone seeking deeper connection and peace, I encourage you to explore the world of 432 Hz. Let it resonate with your soul, align with your heartbeats, and guide you to a place of inner harmony.

The universe speaks in frequencies. When we tune into the right ones, we unlock doors to realms of consciousness and well-being previously unimagined. Embrace the 432 Hz frequency and let it be the soundtrack to your journey of self-discovery and transformation.

The process of looking for a space where my music could ¨fit in¨ brought insecurity into my creative process. I got tired of waiting for labels to sign my music, it started to condition me somehow. It drained a lot of time, energy and value from my creations.

So, I decided to create my own label, El Treinta y Tres. Coming from a couple years of experience with the co-founding of Port 81 Records, Colombian label in which I grew immensely in so many aspects. I found myself with enough confidence and knowledge to start my own independent imprint.

As for the cover art, I love photography and fortunately, I found the confidence needed and a place for my photos to be shared. This particular shot represents Illusion, how some situations in our lives can become a blessing or a nightmare depending on our level of consciousness. The capture was made after a quick getaway with my best friend to Lago Calima. Made a little stop on our way back home to contemplate the sunset and this rainbow. A couple of months later, I found it perfect for this release.

I got into crypto when the first De-fi summer on 2020 emerged. I talked to some of my colleagues about it, and helped them set up their wallets and buying their first cryptos. Later on, we would just come together to hunt those ¨gems¨ and that’s how I first came to hear about Audius. Invested in the project immediately and also uploaded part of our discography and some of my releases on other labels to the platform. I knew projects like this were a huge paradigm shift for the music industry and I needed to be a part of these initiatives.

Back then there weren’t as many music projects as today, the space was grown so much, is amazing!

I’m grateful, via Mintsongs, I had the opportunity to share my music in Web3. A place where I’ve met really friendly people, a strong community with amazing talented artists they helped to enter the space.

I’m was thrilled to be a part of this, not only as a collector but now as an artist too. Big shout out to everyone involved in this project, thank you guys for putting so much work and love to make this possible and for contributing to the restoration of the TRUE value of music.

Proudly and humbled to say I was fully responsible for everything involved in my label. From logo designs, photography, cover art, to mixing, mastering, distribution, marketing, etc. The sense of freedom I gained from this, translated congruently to a new artistic expression.

17 + years of experience in the music industry brought me so many positive outcomes but also triggered a rooted wound of self-esteem and frustration that I wasn’t even aware of. But, fortunately, the unconditional love God has shown me, has been kindly guiding me into a deep healing process and renews me daily.

Ambitious Mirage marks the birth of the label and the start of the most significant time of my life. A 432 Hz tuned soundtrack to the strong battle we fight with the misconceived perception we have of ourselves and the world around us.

Happy to say that 5 editions of this piece have been sold already. The most important part of this is the people I’ve met and the relationships that I have started with the supporters of my work.

Music NFTs This is my genesis mint, and as far as the utility of this NFT, owners will have access to:

1 — Full Quality Wav file of the song

2- Access to an Unreleased DJ Set

3 — Eligible for a Giveaway of my next mint

The most valuable aspect of a Music NFTs experience for sure, is understanding that is not about the money, not about the sales or exposure, is about restoring the REAL value of music through the shift of a relationship paradigm between the artist and everyone involved in the creative process.

Highlighting the intrinsic value of every creation should start by describing the story behind it.

Having that said, I created a visually rich article talking about my process with this piece, my second #MusicNFT release.

I must begin with what I was experiencing during that moment in my life. During the pandemic, I was fortunate to return to my roots by moving to a very special place for me and my family.

Going back to my farm, to the mountains and, connecting with this magical space helped me to embark on a path to begin to re-signify many important events in my life. It led me to a deep search at a creative level.

Since I started implementing sacred tunings like 432 Hz and responsibly focusing on carrying a conscious message, I felt a connection with my purpose. Something I had never experienced before.

I was no longer looking to make music that others would like, but I was creating something for myself, for my soul, and that was something unique and valuable.

I spent a lot of time exploring, walking or riding or cycling. The mountains, the river, the lakes and the forests were my home. Appreciating the beauty of the landscape and all the animals and plants in the company of my loved ones.

One begins to value things not when you don’t have them, but when you DECIDE to appreciate them. I think all those months there were faithfully captured in this high-energy and exotic work. Maasai vocals from Africa, a tropical Latin feel in the melody, a groovy bouncy beat to seal it off.

The track name comes from the term described by Plato, as an interval that gives place, a womb of the universe that is neither good nor bad, it is simply for unlearning. This song was dedicated to a cat that we adopted at the farm before I found a better place for her and her babies.

As a holder of this NFT you have access to a Remastered Wav file of this track, the artwork, an exclusive “Own Tracks Only” DJ set, and a spot to participate in the giveaway of my next NFT.

This is my invitation for you to take a listen and support my craft in any way you wish. Sharing my creations and connecting with new souls out there that celebrate and feel music the way I do is the real reward.

There are 33 editions of this piece, feel free to check it out!

Unlearning Love and Moving On.

It was always so easy for me to blame circumstances, places, and people for everything that went on in my life. I talk in past tense even though I still struggle thinking that playing the victim role every now on then will get me somewhere. I blamed myself hard as well for too long, the guilt that weighed on me, no longer serves me it never did matter of fact. I’m not willing to carry something that’s not even mine, one more step further.

Today, I decide for all limiting beliefs to be left behind, once and for all.

Adopted at birth, I don’t have any information about my biological parents, I didn’t even spend not even 5 min in the arms of my biological mother. Fortunately, On July 14th, 1989 I came to be part of a beautiful, loving, and numerous family, there was no space for me to think or wonder where I really came from. Grew up surrounded by a lot of cousins and family friends spending our weekends on exciting family gatherings and trips. Mostly in the countryside, Valle del Cauca and Antioquia to be exact, here in my homeland, Colombia. The love I experienced from them, all my family, and from life itself was sufficient, at least it felt that at that time.

Mom always talked to me about God, he lived in heaven and he was the best basically, well you know, what they generally teach us about what God is. She also told me that he loved me so much that he gave me two moms, she said that he even had angels that always took care of us. I loved my life, I had everything, I loved God, I grew up in a wealthy and numerous family, I was happy. That was, until the day my dad was murdered, right in front of me in Mexico DF when I was about to turn 5 years old. I dodge automatic rifle bullets since then, my little brother and I were sitting in the back seat of the car when shots started raining in the car.

Well, guess who I blamed when my dad died? Yes, GOD almighty himself.

Did I have control over those events? Whose fault was it? Why did it happen?

I came up with thousands of questions and my emptiness was only to grow bigger. You know when they say that everything is perfect, well it is kinda true for me. Sometimes I think is a cowardly way for us to accept what happened, and sometimes I think that if all those events didn’t ever happen I wouldn’t be where I am now. And it’s true, but it’s also true that the alternate version of our lives could also include a happy ending. The hard road brought me here now, so what? Anyways, you can imagine what a trauma like that could have caused in a young boy to experience something like that, I mean, not only me, but my little brother, my sister, my mom, our family, and friends. I went on with my life with unmeasurable anger, resentment, blaming everything and everyone like a said, too much pain in disguise. We can spend the rest of our life talking about how all those difficult times affected us, how we made so many mistakes, how some people harmed us, how we lost, how that didn’t turn out for us, blablabla and this and that and that other thing. Or we can just tell our story NOT on victim mode. Being so bitter about it is useless, what for? When I started to write this article, I just wanted to share my story and talk about what happened to me. But life showed me a better way around this.

It’s about time for me to rewrite my script, but first, you need to ask yourself a couple of questions, If I may suggest.

I realized that I’m NOT here to meet anyone’s expectations, I am not a competitor, and my life is not a race. You must have heard that before, but oh well, guess you had to read that one again today. Once I figured out through a very intense spiritual awakening, yes, I would like to say intense because it was, VERY intense, that I was basically running on autopilot, and things started to change. Unconsciously, I spent all these years of my life repeating someone else’s life patterns, and that only means that my brain works perfectly. We learn what Life is and replicate what we lived within the first 7 years of our lives. We imitate the meaning of Love, Money, Relationships, and the dynamics of all the areas of our lives from what surrounds us, which is mostly, our parent’s life. I needed to break free from them as soon as possible because THAT was the reason that I wasn’t achieving what I wanted for my life. I began believing and claiming my power back and I began experiencing a great sense of freedom and authority over my life.

One more question…

In the course experience, the relationship I began having with God, the universe, the force, destiny, energy, whatever you want to call it, I learned, experienced, and surrendered to real unconditional love. Hit bottom ground so hard that the only thing I could find down there, was LOVE and not what I thought it was. I surrendered to something bigger than me to teach me, to show me and it did, I’m forever grateful because I just got too sick of feeling empty, I was so tired of trying to control everything in my life for nothing. I allowed myself to believe in something I’ve always even felt resentment and hate towards, and by that I mean GOD, yes, I guess I hated everything at the core of it, I realized I hated myself as well.

Why did I do all this? To get attention, yes, and because I just simply did not know any better. Walking in circles, hurting myself to others, rejecting all the wonderful opportunities I have TODAY? Nah, I’ve had enough of that. I opened my eyes to see that unhealthy behavioral pattern was taught and passed on by our environment.

Broke free from addiction, I’m now free after over 13 years of psychiatric drug and marihuana dependency. In the eyes of the best doctors, my life and my mental health would always depend on drugs. There was no chance, this was something impossible for medicine. I was “diagnosed” with a Bi-Polar disorder, triggered by the abuse of alcohol and weed. That not only conditioned my mental health by it affected me in every area of my life for more than 14 years. My family, my career, my relationships…Mentally, Physically and Emotionally it was a beautiful lesson, the most significant event I experienced until today.

I open myself today to share this story because I know for a fact that, there was a force bigger than me that gave me this as a gift, as hard, difficult, as impossible as it could get for me, just enough for me to overcome. God works in mysterious ways, he worked and healed me through the love and support of my family and loved ones, and through all the people, who are like angels to me and situations that had to exist for me to get to where I am right now, and now that I look back on those things, I know he never left and never will leave my side.

God, is THE OG, a real one. He doesn’t care if you believe in him or not. He doesn’t care if you’re GOOD or BAD, or BOTH. God loves us, for no reason apparently, just because. He loves us because HE is love, as simple as that. A SUPERIOR POWER that loves us because we are his kids, and he’s an unconditionally loving father.

Yes, superior…There are just some things that are not up to me, and I fully get that. I can do my best, hustle, and struggle hard as I can you know? Give all that I got, execute my best plan, act being the best version of me or whatever and still, some things are NOT up to me, they are just simply NOT. No matter how great and awesome I am or think I am, or my perfect flawless plans, I AM NOT IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING.

I can allow myself to complain about life’s complicated, questionable hard stuff, be angry, irritable, sad, coward about it, cry, scream or whatever for a couple of minutes of my life, and then just stop and move on to do my best again, that’s healthy. What it’s not sane at all, is to live my whole life in victim mode. Ok, I do still do that for a couple hours, not minutes I have to be honest, someday it will be minutes that I spend on that fun activity. It’s Ok if we feel whatever, it’s Ok if we can’t handle the “God Loves You” talk sometimes. Feelings are just feelings, and they don’t define us. We are greater than our problems, God is bigger than our feelings, greater than our thoughts, greater than what we think he is. I wish I had control, over everything, I wish. I think that would make me feel safe, but fortunately, I’m not, and accepting that in my life, that I’m 100% in charge got some weight off my shoulders, it’s just not my job. Feelings are just feelings and lessons are just lessons if I don’t learn from them. My job is to learn and unlearn what doesn’t serve my life purpose, my job is to enjoy life, and my job is to inspire and serve others with what God has put in me. He is an awesome teacher, he humbles me every time, and he homeschools me hard! Sit your ass down and let me do my work kind of class. Not fun, because I know I got everything to live the life I want, I know I deserve it and I’m sure I’m going to make it happen. But I’m still momentarily with this feeling of frustration, and bitterness that at some point turns into anger, resentment, and sadness. Humility and Patience, I can’t skip steps. Understanding, accepting, that there’s this thing called divine timing, that everything is perfect, that life always falls, fits PERFECTLY, that everything not only happens for a reason, for a consequence but a DIVINE PURPOSE. Even those things that to our eyes, to our human understanding they’re so fucked up, so wrong, even those sketchy things are perfect, and they don’t care what you think about them.

I wake up and go to bed thanking him for all the beautiful things of my life, for his generosity, for his protection, for his guidance, for the hardship, for the challenges…Man, for everything, for the food on my plate, for my home, for my family, for my gifts and abilities, for my weaknesses, for my colleagues and friends, for everything. We have earthly needs, worldly stupid needs, so what? I stop chasing purity in perfection, and started embracing my human condition and just enjoying consciously and responsibly everything I can. So what if I can’t control everything, I know what God has done, what he’s doing right now, and will do for me, for others, and for all his creation. I am enough, to his eyes, why can I accept it once and for all as my truth?

He loves me because he made me with his own hands, he knows me too well. He believes in me, no matter what, He is merciful and his grace is enough for me.

We might want things OUR way, OUR WAY, and Only OUR WAY of course, BUT in the end, is up to him. And I’m not perfect, well, I already AM the group of strengths and weaknesses that make me whole, I am perfectly imperfect. So what, if I want to be in control to feel safe, he doesn’t judge me, he continues to love me the way I am, and I continue to try to be better. We can get so frustrated trying to have a perfect life, be the perfect human being.

It got to a point in my relationship with God, that now I accept he sees me the way I see him. Love is love, period. God never judged me and never will, so will would I play the judge role? If I ask for something, he gives me exactly what I NEED, not what I WANT. So, if all he wants me to do, is praise him, to think, feel and act in alignment with Love, so I will, I’ll do my best. I have gained my real identity through my limitations, flaws, gifts, and skills through an intimate relationship with Him.

Crucify your Idols, offer and release in Gratitude all that is no longer aligned to your Divine Purpose. Surrender to the Unconditional Love of God and Serve this life with Humility, Passion, and Kindness.

I have to accept the fact that I can’t experience my spiritual journey anymore, my life in general, trying to fit into a mold, trying to replicate a pre-established perspective of life, I had to create my own reality. Idealizing the perfect life and running in circles doing what others think is right, made me a slave to those ideals.

Envy is an enemy of happiness, that’s why I had to stop comparing my definition of success with others. They become idols and the true meaning of life is what happens while I’m worshiping all those worldly things. My definition of success should be, what I have accomplished already, what I have overcome, and the person that I am today. I’m whole, I’m already successful, feeding those ideas of failure and emptiness won’t take me where I want to go. Pursuing to act and live based on my core values, and prioritizing myself and my purpose will take me to my goals.

I have to Crucify my Idols every day, and by that I mean, external and internal idols, sacrifice what doesn’t serve my heart anymore, what it’s not aligned with Love. Release and let go with gratitude, all the teachers, and the lessons, the habits, the places, the songs, everything. Embracing humility, vulnerability, and tapping into appreciation, kindness, compassion, and all the wonderful number of feelings aligned to the most powerful energy in the universe, love. That’s where I want to place my attention, my focus.

I let the universe inspire me to be better, but there is not a soul out there I wanna be like.

Trust your nose, Unlearn, and Break the Cycle.

We are our biggest enemy, but our biggest friend as well.
