Today, my friend Nikki told me a story. And I can't stop thinking about it. You see... Four years ago, she went to a beach here in Bali. Ever since then, she remembered the road to get there as very steep. So steep that this time, on the way there, she was warning her friend: “Prepare yourself, this part is intense.” But when they arrived… They couldn’t find anything steep at all. No dramatic drop. No scary turn. No “oh shit” moment. Instead, Nikki kept asking: “Where is that steep road?” And then it clicked. Four years ago, she was a beginner on a scooter. New. Insecure. Tense. Overthinking every turn. So the road felt steep. Today? She’s experienced. Grounded. Confident. Same road. Completely different experience. The road didn’t change. She did. And yet… the story stayed. This is how so many of us live. We’re still reacting to life through stories that were formed when we were: - younger - less skilled - less resourced - less safe Stories that made sense back then. But here’s the problem: They’re still running in the background. They whisper: - “This will be hard.” - “I’m not ready.” - “This is dangerous.” - “I can’t handle this.” Even when the road isn’t steep anymore. Those stories don’t exist anywhere else. Not in reality. Not in the present moment. Only in the mind. And as long as they run unchecked, life keeps feeling harder than it actually is. Here’s the part that matters most to me. Once you change the story... once you update the lens you’re looking through... you might arrive and be genuinely confused. “Wait… this is it?” “Where’s the steep part?” And if you ask me? I’d rather be surprised and confused for a moment... than scared for my entire life. What about you? If you want to: - identify the old story that’s still running you - understand when it was created and why - and actually change it (not just talk about it) Comment STEEP and let’s talk. Isn't this the time to update your story... so you can start living like it’s now...

Imagine for one second... that somebody will take your job away from you... the car you're driving... the house you live in... your passport... your education and all the titles you acquired with your hard work... all of your money... your clothes... your phone and computer... what would be left of you? You might feel that if you stop to attach to or to be all these forms, you'd disappear. But the truth is: You'd still be here. Ancient mystics and modern neuroscientists agree: We are living a dream. For long enough I tried to "wake up" from it. But now I know what works for me instead: To live the dream of my own. If you could be whoever you want to be... If you could do whatever you want to do... If you could have whatever you want to have... What would you choose to be, to have, and to do in 2026? And, if I may be a bit curious: What is ACTUALLY standing in the way? My goal for 2026: To help as many people as I can to live their best dream. Rather than to be running away from the worst one. If you are one of them, I'm here for you. Reply "DREAM" and let's talk. My wish for you into 2026: May you live your dream life. Now and into the future. Love you... Matus
