The Inner Compass Quotes

“Creating and sharing is in the lifeblood of our species, and it is through this dynamic where we construct our reality and coexist within it. To create is to express what you’ve discovered about yourself and the world. And through this process, you’ll harvest meaning from the experiences that have deep roots in your mind.”

“When you trust your intuition, you recognize your innate capabilities and see all the ways in which they fit within the world. There is an alignment between who you are and what you offer, so you develop the confidence to lean into what makes you unique. Conditioning, on the other hand, is filled with tension because you’re constantly trying to insert yourself into unwelcoming terrain. Instead of leaning into your innate curiosities, you shrink away from them and mold yourself according to the preferences of others. And in doing so, you open the floodgates of suffering because this terrain is where fear, envy, and competition reside.”
