your 2025 growth strategy?

This is going to sound hokey but stick with me:

I have a secret for change.

It’s one of the biggest secrets in Life Cultivation (if there are any at all). I don’t hear anyone talking about it much, or coming close to revealing it, not even from lips loosened with wine or champagne 🍷🍸. For serious.

RU READY????

I’m about to say it, so you’d better stop scrolling right now if you don’t like to hear it ;)

Okay, here goes. This is going to light your brain on fire so be ready.

In my 10 years of Life Cultivation, I realized, everything I learn and try to apply leads back to one thing: I don’t know much about myself.

Ok, let’s cut some unnecessary words here, fair? Fair.

I don’t know myself.

That’s the secret.

Unveiling you don’t know yourself.

So what does this secret mean for you?

Especially, if you’re like, "Well fck, Mirjam. I’m the one person that sticks with me all the time, don't you think this makes me not know myself pretty damn good?"

Maybe.

But freak out not, a little bit, if you need to.

Without good understanding of life, and thus of yourself, you cannot make change effectively. You keep tapping in all kinds of directions, in the dark, without enough clarity. You might even find yourself going in circles.

When you have tried very hard to change, and still feel confused and have doubts, when illnesses, problems, negative emotions, unhealthy behavior and habits return and persist, these are all great signs and messages to learn more about yourself in order to clear the confusion and doubt, and stop the loop you’re caught up in.

This is how you can make progress in life cultivation.

Knowing Yourself in itself is a huge job. When we don’t know ourselves very well, when we have no true understanding of the laws of life, it’s like living in the dark, having not enough clarity.

If you’re in the dark, how do you know which direction to go? How can you change something, if you don’t know what exactly needs changing?

We're very quick in jumping right into the stage of "changing", and very impatient to stay in the stage of "gaining understanding" to find out what it really is we're dealing with.

It’s important though to have a reference point, a light to guide our way. That light is ongoing support for getting to know yourself better.

It can be teachings in Life Cultivation on the laws of life, Qi, Jingshen, Totality. Listen to this episode of Wisdom Guided Living and why the work and the change comes when your understanding about yourself has deepened.

"Changing Yourself" (things that are not that healthy to life) is an ongoing, dynamic process based on "Knowing Yourself".

The better you know yourself, the more understanding you have where and how you need to work on yourself, the more effectively you can change yourself. When you have made progress in changing yourself, your understanding of yourself will deepen as well.

Only when we keep working on our foundation, can change happen. We can have the best possible intentions, or willpower, but if we don’t know the laws of a human life and work on the understanding to get to know ourselves, and what exactly needs changing, nothing will change much.

>> What can we do to make real change happen?
>> What do we have to do?
>> What do we need to do?

Getting to know yourself better.

This is not a small endeavor.

You should have some understanding of the basics of the laws of life. How much space do you have to say "I don’t know much about myself?", or maybe even "I don’t know who I am at all?" How ready are you? And what are you willing to give to create that needed space?

I hope you’ll take time to consider the serious question of "Who Am I?" in getting closer to "Changing Yourself".

A lot of treasures are to be found about ourselves, when we are open to admit "I don’t know much about myself but I'm ready to find out".
