You really never know who might watch it and ultimately save their life. 🗣Look around you...do you see 6 people? That is the same number of people who devastatingly commit suicide every day in Australia. Six people were at a point of no return that they believed ending their life was better than continuing it.

This happened to me, and I...Tell Yourself the Story of the Dream Come TrueStart telling yourself the story of what you want to be, rather than the reasons for why you aren't. ✨Last week, we posted a video on the power of meditation and how effective it is in relaxing the mind and creating a greater sense of space. But, that isn't the best part. The best part is that we can use this power to rewire our brains.
