Climbing the Soul's Summit

  Is This the Right Job for Me? A few days ago, a beautiful ad popped up on Instagram. They were looking for a part-time collaborator for a self-development platform. — Like a piece of candy , I thought immediately. And I already started spinning all the possibilities connected to that job… But then— — …but if you accept it, when will you write? — Who was that? I wondered. Maybe I imagined it? Hm, this job really is great… — You won’t be able to travel to Veloria anymore… — the little voice was persistent. Veloria A magical, white city I invented. In an invented land. A kingdom, of course. A city that embraced me as a place of justice, comfort, and love. A book that has seen the light of day on Amazon. I am already writing the second part. At that moment, I stopped and said: — No. You will no longer be useful. You are creative. Usefulness or creativity? At some point in life, we reach that remarkable maturity. We stop learning through other people’s systems. Other p...

  Mirror of Whiteness And finally, you are at the top of the mountain. The last steps. Many times you thought of giving up. Of turning back. You wanted to simply sit down where you were, let the mountain rescue team come for you. Or let you die there — what does it matter to anyone? But you kept going. One more step. And another. Ahead of you, you believed, there would be a reward. You made it. Well done. You reach the summit. There are people around you. Some of them. And you? What do you do when you finally realize that this is it? That you have succeeded. That there is nothing left to fix. I will tell you my story In July 2024, I climbed Mount Ararat, in eastern Turkey. 5,137 meters. And I wanted to give up. Believe me — many times. My legs were heavy, my breathing shallow. Every breath hurt. I had no strength left. That familiar voice began in my head: I can’t do this. I looked ahead. The summit was there — as if I could reach it with my hand. All aroun...

  MUD AND SHINE Trek 2 — Dive Into the Mud   I promised I would reveal the first three trails of my journey. In the previous post, I wrote about Morning Feather.   If you haven’t read it yet — the link is Turn On Your Trail     But working on yourself hidden in the safety of your room is not the heart of the journey. It may feel comfortable… but it doesn’t bring real results. Trek 2 — Dive Into the Mud If you’re not ready to get dirty, eat with muddy hands, or wash yourself in a cold mountain stream — you might not be ready for the trail at all. Of course, not every hike is like that. Sometimes you return home with less than half a kilo of mud on you. 😊 There are legends in the mountains — people who walk through the same wild paths as we, ordinary mortals, and return spotless, as if they’ve been strolling down a polished city boulevard. They do exist. But… they are rare. A regular hiker usually manages to fall, scrape the trail, and get up again. One year...
