What If You’re Not Lost After All?


Hi Reader!

I want to share something profound with you—something that took me many years to truly understand.

You may have heard me talk about Life Purpose before, with all the variations and conclusions I’ve explored and shared. Well, here’s the latest one:

You are already living your life’s purpose.

Yes—YOU ARE ALREADY LIVING YOUR PURPOSE.
I know… wild, right?

We came here to experience life on this planet: the contrast, the separation, the polarities. And so, whatever your life looks like right now, you are living your purpose.
Your Soul—the infinite part of you—is learning, growing, and playing the game of life, no matter the circumstances.

So… now that that’s settled—now what?

How does it feel to read those words?

For me, it brings peace. It’s liberating to know I don’t need to keep chasing or searching for some elusive “Purpose.” That pressure is gone.
But another question naturally arises:

Am I living the life I actually want to live?

When I ask myself this, I feel a stirring inside. There are things I absolutely love about my life—and also things I’d like to change.

Take a look at your day. What does it consist of?
What words come out of your mouth when you talk about it?

Do you say things like:

  • I have to go to work.
  • I should clean my house.
  • I must take my kid to soccer practice.
  • I have to go to that event with my husband and put on a polite smile.

Or is it more like:

  • We’re developing this amazing household device that turns plastic into harmless elements—we just made a major breakthrough!
  • My kid’s playing soccer and I get to coach! I love being part of it.
  • I’m walking my dog on this new trail I discovered—fresh air, nature, and time to unplug.
  • I choose to clean my home because I love walking barefoot and I hate things sticking to my feet.
  • I skipped that boring social event and spent the evening soaking up the sun and learning about my new houseplant.

See the difference?

I’ll play fortune teller for a moment:
If your daily language is full of “have to,” “should,” and “must,” there’s a good chance you’re not living the life you truly want—and maybe, you’re not that happy.

If your words carry the energy of freedom, choice, and joy, you’re likely feeling much more satisfied with your life.

Tell me where I’m wrong :)

And if you’re not living the life you want—that doesn’t have to be permanent. You can pivot. You can make things better.

That’s what I do as a life coach. I help people reclaim their power, shift their mindset, and move toward a life that feels exciting, meaningful, and fulfilling—whatever that looks like for you.

So here’s one simple, practical shift to start with:

Change your language.
Stop saying “I have to,” “I should,” or “I must.”
Because the truth is—you don’t have to. You are choosing, every moment.

You choose to get out of bed.
You choose to go to work.
You choose to brush your teeth.
It may not always feel like a choice, but it is.

Sure, you may not like the alternatives—but it’s still a choice. And no one can take your free will from you.

Start saying, “I choose to…” and see how your body feels.

It’s a small shift, but it can be powerful. For many people, that one tweak changes everything.

For example, instead of “I have to stay in this job,” try:

  • “I choose to stay in this job because the pay supports my current needs—and I’m also carving out time for my passions.”
  • “I choose to start looking for work that’s more aligned with who I am.”
  • “I choose to sell my big house, downsize, and create the space to launch my dream business.”

Language is power. And how we use it shapes how we feel—either more trapped, or more free.

The choice is yours :)

And if you're ready to start making real changes, I have a couple of 1:1 coaching spots open. If you want support in pivoting your life toward the version that truly lights you up—this is the work I love most.

No more “someday.” The time is now.
Send me an email, and let’s talk.

With love,

My emails are like mini coaching sessions and love letters to your soul. I also like to wonder about big, existential questions. Suffer less, love more.

I am popping into your mailbox because I wanted to remind you that you are infinitely worthy. Worthy of love, worthy of joy, worthy of adventure, worthy of compassion, worthy of kindness, worthy of everything you ever wanted to. We all forget about it sometimes but today I remembered, and I wanted to remind you about it. You don’t have to do anything to deserve love. It is your birthright. Also, you don’t have to go anywhere to get it. It’s there right there right next to you. All you need to...

When someone asks, "Do you forgive me?" you don't owe them an answer. Forgiveness is for not for them, it is for you. When they ask you that question, they are looking to feel better, they are looking for pardoning. But forgiveness is not that. What has been done is done, lessons need to be learnt, emotions have to be processed. Forgiveness can't be forced. Enough emotions have to be processed for some healing to happen and for you being ready to say "I am done. I have learnt my lessons, I...

This year on my birthday I decided to do an experiment - I committed to doing 108 bows every day for a year.I am not religious and I haven't suddenly become religious. I believe in a lot of things but I don't believe in religion. Anyways, why the heck then I made such a commitment? It was inspired by Billy from July Life Coach. He's been talking about it for a while and, more importantly, he's been practicing it for a while too. He is committed to Buddhist teachings and he's set to help...
