The crash that changed everything

What happens when life forces you to slow down?

For me, it was a motorcycle accident.

That made me stop, reset, and reframe everything.

Sometimes you have to crash (literally).
Before you realize it’s time to slow down. 

That motorbike accident didn’t leave me with major injuries, but it shook me up enough to see how restless I’d become.

My head was spinning with deadlines.

I had endless to-do lists.

This made me walk away from my full-time tech job and end up in a six-month meditation retreat in Uruguay.

I had no idea how badly I needed to stop. 

It hit me when I arrived at that secluded spot. 

I was away from the noise.

When life gets too loud, allow yourself to press pause.
Because the quiet moments often reveal what truly matters.

Or at least what’s truly going on within you.
