The Wake Up Manifesto
"It’s not about more rest or deeper sleep; it’s about what it will take for you to WAKE UP.”
-Sadhguru
To fires burning—raging—begging you to care. To stop treating Mother Earth like you know better, because she knows best. She cries for softer footsteps and asks you to leave no trace. (It's really not so much to request!)
What if the greatest gift you could give to humankind was kindness?
What if curiosity came before criticism?
And what if we kept rage off the road?
Could we reward a relentless pursuit with enthusiasm instead of labeling it as "too much" of anything?
The journey of a lifetime is to find our people and our purpose; the sweet reward is to be in love and express our dharma.
So quit the job that doesn't bring you joy and the relationships that know no form of reciprocity. Because to stay will only create a line on your epitaph that says: She hated her job and did it anyway. (What was the point?) We set goals and dreams based on podium performances, company exits, and mergers that make millions. Where is the quota for happiness and the true metric for health?
How do you measure your contribution to a community that will never end up on a board deck?
If you're writing through a robot or communicating via lawyers, there’s a reality to wake up to: the only true currency in this world is relationships. Make them count.
