5 Days To A Powerful Memory

Your words woke me up and blew my mental blocks into pieces

Quick summary

After years of cycling between Mindvalley and trying to fix things alone, Julie experienced a breakthrough during the 7 Sacred States Challenge. The realization shattered her mental blocks, clearing the path toward her dream of becoming a photojournalist and being present for her family.

I just finished the 7 Sacred States Challenge and as I write this I am fighting back tears. Your words!! What you shared did not just strike a sensitive cord, it woke me up!! In truth I come and go from MV. When I feel overwhelmed I turn from the platform and try to “fix” it on my own. I am a horse trainer and photographer which I adore but my dreams are so much more. In truth this, no doubt is why I always find my way back to your platform. My dream life is to become a photo journalist. The images I see both around me and on the news make me want to have a voice. Bringing hard topics to life thru photos and real time experiences. Travel and exploring has always been a priority in my life but it is time to take the next step. Working closely with organizations like Samaritans Purse would complete heart and soul nourishment. My strongest motivator however is to be a much more consistent and reliable presence in the lives of my family. I have missed too many highs and lows. The people I love and cherish the most have supported me thru decades of being absent because I was afraid of leaving a country that is not my own in fear of not being allowed back. They have earned top priority. In spite of my lapses from Mindvalley it, and Vishen (I have mentioned his name SO many times my family now refer to him as my boyfriend lol) has been a true and constistant lifeline both in the goods and less good days. Something in today’s message blew my mental blocks into pieces. I realized that my life being messy and my lack of follow thru is a mountain only if I continue you let it be so. Thank you seems inadequate but it is heart felt. See you on the inside Julie Clark
