How to change the world: it starts with you

I firmly believe that achieving ‘oneness’ with our mind, body and spirit is essential to freedom, happiness and wellbeing. That is to say that removing distractions from our lives and having the self-awareness to see when we are allowing ourselves to be distracted, is key to remaining in control of ourselves. Our environment is geared towards keeping us distracted and unfocused. Fast food, TV, social media, alcohol, gambling…things that give us that little hit of dopamine that keep us coming back for more. Companies are aware of this, and they rely on keeping the population in a state of semi-conscious consumerism by distracting us with the things that keep us interested, that give us that rush…that feed our addictions. There is one scary universal truth that corporate companies use to their advantage:

Keeping people distracted is profitable because people who are distracted are easy to manipulate.

Society makes us think that there is something wrong with us and that we need to look externally for the solution. You have bad skin? Buy this acne cream. You’re overweight? Buy this diet pill. You’re getting wrinkles? Buy Botox. You’re hungry? Buy fast food. You’re bored? Buy a pint. It’s a never-ending cycle of insecurity and fast solutions that are actually creating the problems we are trying to fix. It wouldn’t be so bad if the solutions were trying to help people, but the sad truth is that companies don’t care about you or your wellbeing. All they care about is your money and they will encourage you to do the very things that make you unhappy and unwell to get it.

The only solution is to look inside.

You already have all the skills and tools you need to be successful.

The problem is not you…it’s the distractions leading you deeper and deeper into the trap of endless need and consumerism.

Now I'm not suggesting that you become a monk or a nun and commit yourself to a life of self-denial. Hell, I still love getting a takeaway and lounging around watching trash TV now and then. It's not about denial. It's about awareness. Recognizing that when you are not in a good way, that's the time to look within, work harder on yourself and not turn to a quick fix.

If you can develop your awareness to the point that distractions have no effect on you, nothing can hold you back from achieving anything you want.

Fortunately, there are legitimate businesses that provide services and utilize skills rooted in ancient practice, which focus on connecting you with yourself and nurturing your wellbeing because they value having a happy and healthy client base. These businesses were often founded by people who believed in creating something that would really help people. Something that would change the status quo. Believing with unshakable conviction that they can use their passion to help people as well as be successful. That’s something that everyone should believe in.

I created The Solution because I had been stuck in that trap of need and consumerism and it was making me desperately unhappy. I found my way out and it was hard because for a long time, I had no one to guide me. I wanted to use my skills and my passion to really help people, to stop people from sleep walking through life, doing the same thing day after day and wondering why they were so unhappy.

I truly believe in what I do, and I want to share that with people who want to find what they believe in too. I want to inspire someone to be the best that they can be. I want to give someone the confidence to try something they’ve always wanted to do. I’ve always wanted to make a difference not only in my life, but in others too. Because by supporting other people to make positive change, you can collectively change the world.
