What if a “Higher Power” isn’t some cosmic CEO pulling the strings but instead just... a higher version of your consciousness? Yeah, I know, that sounds suspiciously like something you’d hear in a meditation app, but stay with me. Think about it. We’re all running around most of the time, stuck in survival mode. Our brains are like over-caffeinated toddlers, bouncing between fear, ego, and a constant need for validation. It’s exhausting. But what if there’s a version of you—already inside you—that’s calmer, wiser, and not caught up in all the petty drama? What if that is what we’re talking about when we say “higher consciousness.” It’s not outside of you. It is you—just with less noise and more clarity. A higher consciousness is that part of you that can step back and say, “You know what? This thing I’m freaking out about—it’s not the end of the world.” It’s the part that isn’t obsessed with looking good or winning arguments online. It’s the part that knows life is complicated, unpredictable, unknowable, and often unfair—and somehow, that’s okay. And what if when people talk about a Higher Power, they’re talking about this ability to tap into something more profound and bigger than their everyday BS? Maybe it’s a gut feeling. Perhaps it’s intuition. Maybe it’s just that quiet voice in your head that tells you to stop texting your ex because it’s not worth it. Whatever it is, it’s a shift from trying to control everything around you to realizing you don’t have to. Here’s the crazy part: life gets easier when you stop seeing yourself as the center of the universe. You realize you’re part of something bigger, whether that’s humanity, nature, or just the shared experience of being alive. And that realization—it humbles you. It pulls you out of your head and into a state where you can actually breathe and focus on what matters. I am not saying that that there is no God. What I am saying is that maybe a Higher Power isn’t what you heard about in Sunday school. Maybe it’s just you—but the version of you that’s not drowning in ego or fear. And the cool thing? You can access that anytime you want. You don’t need to pray or chant or do a juice cleanse.

Humility and honesty are two sides of the same coin, and here’s why: both require you to drop the façade and face reality as it is, not as you wish it to be. Humility isn’t about thinking less of yourself or pretending to be smaller than you are. It’s about stripping away the ego-driven nonsense that makes you inflate your accomplishments or ignore your flaws. It’s admitting, "Hey, I don’t have all the answers, and that’s okay." And honesty? It’s the same thing, just pointed outward. Honesty says, “Here’s the unvarnished truth, even if it’s uncomfortable.” It’s being real about who you are, what you want, and what you’ve screwed up along the way. When you’re honest with yourself, humility naturally follows because the truth has a way of cutting through all the ego-stroking B.S. The reason these two concepts are inseparable is simple: you can’t be truly honest without being humble, and you can’t be humble without being honest. If you’re too busy pretending you’ve got it all together, you’ll never admit the truth to yourself or anyone else. And if you’re too afraid to be honest, you’ll never see the value in stepping back and saying, “I could be wrong here.” At the end of the day, humility and honesty are what keep you grounded.

Alright, so let’s talk about wonder and awe—two things we all used to have in spades as kids but somehow managed to lose somewhere along the way between taxes and scrolling through Twitter at 2 a.m. These days, wonder and awe are like those rare birds you only hear about in nature documentaries—beautiful, fleeting, and barely seen in the wild. And the thing is, without them, life starts feeling pretty damn flat. It’s like going through life in black and white when you know color exists. So, that’s the mission here: to help people recover that spark, that sense of “holy crap, life is amazing,” even if it’s a bit messed up most of the time. Because here’s the thing—wonder and awe aren’t just nice little add-ons. They’re fuel. They’re what make us feel alive, connected, and actually excited to get out of bed in the morning. Without them, you’re just grinding, going through the motions, thinking the next promotion or the next “perfect” relationship will give you that feeling. Spoiler alert: it won’t. Helping people recover wonder and awe means digging beneath the “what’s wrong with me?” questions and getting back to the “what’s actually right with life?” part of ourselves that we’ve ignored for way too long. It’s about learning how to see again—to notice the little things, the beauty in the ordinary, and the magic in what we already have. We’re talking about breaking out of the mental boxes we’ve put ourselves in, the labels and expectations, and all the noise that makes life feel so heavy. It’s about peeling all that back and finding a part of ourselves that can still look at the world and say, “Whoa.” Because when we see the world with that kind of curiosity and awe, suddenly everything starts to feel more possible.

We begin our journey in life seeking comfort, whether through approval, love, or avoiding anything that evokes uncertainty. As children, we’re wired to reach for what feels good, and for a while, that’s enough. Then, in adolescence, we start negotiating with the discomfort that’s starting to come into our lives. This is the “bargaining phase,” where we test boundaries, trying to find ways around the hard stuff instead of facing it directly. We’re still hoping we can avoid pain if we bargain right, but deep down, we’re learning that discomfort and uncertainty don’t just vanish. Adulthood, though, brings us to a different realization: that discomfort isn’t something to dodge—it’s something to live alongside. This is where true resilience, or what’s sometimes called antifragility, comes in. Being antifragile doesn’t mean just making it through hard times; it’s about letting those hard times make us stronger, more grounded, and more aware of what really matters to us. But here’s the thing: our brains are wired to avoid pain and discomfort. They’re constantly nudging us toward what feels safe. And if we listen too closely to that voice, we’ll keep ourselves small, missing out on the growth and connection that come only through facing the hard stuff. What if instead of fighting against this pain, we leaned into it? When we confront our discomfort, not by gritting our teeth but by letting it in, we tap into a strength beyond endurance. It’s the power of vulnerability and the courage to trust ourselves. Every time we face discomfort, instead of avoiding it, we’re reinforcing our capacity to handle whatever comes our way. We’re showing ourselves that we can hold steady, even when the ground beneath us feels anything but. And maybe most importantly, discomfort becomes a doorway to compassion—not just for ourselves but for the person we love who’s struggling. This doesn’t mean ignoring boundaries or accepting broken promises without reflection; it means knowing that we can stand in our own strength while allowing them the room to struggle, too.
