Hello Shiny Minds,

As I launched my last coaching certification cohorts of 2024 this week, I felt this incredible feeling of bliss, joy and gratitude inside. 💜

I always say, this work found me and chose me as I was searching for my purpose in life.

I had no clue what I was going to and how I was going to do it, when I took the leap of faith back in 2010, left my comfortable life in Istanbul in search for my cosmic life across the globe in Los Angeles.

My journey was full of struggles, challenges, pain and fear; but is was also full of fun, growth, expansion, unlearning and learning and at the same time. As all journeys are...

But the difference is, I found my purpose and became ONE with it.

And I am super grateful for my life, my why, for who I've become now. Always evolving...🙏

Having said all that, my question to you today is, are you living a life of purpose or merely going through the motions?

Self-actualization, the pinnacle of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, is about living with intention and maximizing your potential.

If you're feeling stuck or unfulfilled, it might be a sign that you're trapped in a mediocre existence.

Here are four key indicators:

1️⃣ Reactivity: Do you find yourself constantly defending or attacking in conversations?

2️⃣ Denial: Are you avoiding confronting uncomfortable truths?

3️⃣ Unfulfillment: If you're consistently feeling empty, despite your efforts, it's a sign.

4️⃣ Victim Mentality: Do you often see yourself as a victim of circumstances?

Remember, self-actualization is not a destination but a journey. It's about continuous growth, learning, and self-discovery. By recognizing the signs of a mediocre existence and taking proactive steps, you can break free from the cycle and start living a more fulfilling life. 💜
