Yo!
A lot has been happening in my life.
In April I went to the epic Naked Bash event for 5 days.
During that time I made a lot of new friends and experienced many intimate conversations, fun dancing and other great activities.
My time in Florida was truly transformative, and I will be writing future posts detailing the golden nuggets of wisdom I’ve gained.
Fast forward to now: I’m on the Azores in Portugal!
AZORES~
The nature here is truly beautiful.
It reminds me of Tsushima (Japan) a lot: many rivers, waterfalls, mountains, and vast ocean.
Being here has been deeply healing and it has reminded me of my love for Iki Island. I lived and worked on Iki Island in Japan for 2 years (2019-2021).
Since leaving Iki, I felt something had been missing in my life.
Since arriving on the Azores and getting in the swing of things I figured out quickly what was missing: ADVENTURE! (and MUSIC! and DANCING!)
After staying in the first Airbnb for over a week, I hiked 10 miles with all my stuff (Nomatic backpack, grocery bag of food) from one town to the next heading to my next Airbnb. On the way I walked through a gorgeous forest!
On the way to the forest, I walked up a ridiculously steep hill and saw two beautiful horses. I hoped they didn’t kick me as I walked past, haha.
I was carrying around 30 to 40 pounds of stuff between my backpack and the giant bag of groceries I hugged as I walked.
An angry dog stopped me from walking down the nature path, so I hopped a bush wall and went around.
The views were worth it.
From the top of the hill I looked back over where I had come from: the municipality of Povoação.
Further yet:
And finally, after 4 hours of walking I saw the town I would be staying in next: Faial da terra.
I could go on and on! Reach out to me if you want more details about Portugal, getting here, wanna see more pictures, etc.
Otherwise, stay tuned for future updates on Portugal!
For now I’m gonna stay here till June, then assess where to go next from there.
Live all the way
Recently I’ve been going through many shifts.
I would like to share one with you, and hope it gives you the courage to do the same.
It is a higher form of affirmation regarding wealth.
3 Types of Affirmations
There are 3 main types of affirmations:
I want…
I will…
I commit…
Everyone wants wealth, but wanting alone doesn’t change anything.
When you will yourself to get wealth, you get closer.
But when you commit to being wealthy, that’s the golden ticket!
And this can be used for anything and everything.
Commit!
Make up in your mind that you will commit, you will do anything to see it done!
And you can do this at anytime.
At any moment you can say:
“Hey, I’m going to do this, I commit to doing this!“
Talking in action
Living up to my own words, I have recently been opening myself to any and all opportunities to generate wealth: freelancing, web development, Japanese/Chinese translation, coaching and personal development.
I am crafting the most ideal life every single day.
Today (5/17), I ran to the local waterfall, did a little baptism dip after doing my daily Tantric meditation. I then ran back to my Airbnb, did my daily exercise outside nearby.
Then I worked for the next 5 hours on a freelance job I’m doing with web development.
Next, I did my studies for the day (Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Web Development, Gene Keys).
I then convinced myself to keep going and I started two draft landing page Gdocs for upcoming coaching containers I plan to launch (a fitness container and Tantric container).
And now I find myself typing this substack post excited to share all this ENERGY with you!
Yes, you!
Thank God for you, for this beautiful Earth with all its mysteries, for this mystical body that can experience so much!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
(In brief, I am busting everything I have to make it possible to continue to live and travel abroad. I commit to finding a way to make it work.)
[For the raw total hour breakdown, I woke up local time today at ~7:30am, and have been going until now around ~7:30pm. THIS IS THE FIRE OF COMMITMENT! I use the Bullet Journal Method to organize my daily plan for structuring, but also allow for a good deal of flowing and taking breaks throughout the day (Pomodoro: 25 minutes work/focus, 5 minutes, break). I’ve been devouring the Harry Potter series audio books in my recreation time as well <3]
Join me :)
Join me on the quest to engage in the 4 principles of wealth creation!
I’ve been listening to the audiobook of “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind“ by T. Harv Eker, and he outlines the 4 essentials to building wealth:
Income
Active income: this is income you have to work for (time for money)
Passive income: this is income that comes in automatically (business, investment, etc.)
Savings
This is money that you have saved up and set aside
Investments
This is money you’ve invested into other businesses, real estate, etc.
Simplification
This is cutting down on your living expenses
For me currently, I am focusing on getting active income going strong, but I am also looking to flex simplification as well. Soon I commit to bolstering my savings, and later doing investments after creating a nice buffer.
This might mean I move to Thailand or somewhere with low living costs next. Portugal and the Azores is ok cost-wise overall, generally a little cheaper than the US (at least Florida, haha), but I know many places in Asia are even cheaper.
Do the simple math: if you make the same amount of money but pay much lower living expenses, you make a lot more money.
The key is net profit.
It doesn’t matter if you make $1,000,000 a month if you spent $1,100,000 a month — then you are not wealthy, but are or will be broke.
I can make $2,000 a month and pay $500 a month for living expenses and I am thereby wealthy. Plenty to put away for savings and investments.
Dang, its cool to get rid of blocks to money.
Say it with me if you want:
MONEY IS IMPORTANT.
With money you have the power to live how you want, to give more value to others, and to more powerfully and positively influence the world for the better.
I commit to writing more on my own wealth building journey.
I commit to being wealthy.
I hope you join me in committing as well.
Closing invitation
Keep an ear out for the upcoming containers on fitness and Tantra.
In the fitness container I will supercharge you and get you in the best shape of your life, and in the Tantra container I will help you connect with your sexual energy to magnetize the life you want (adventure, relationships, money).
Keep it real! Love, love, love, and work, work, work!
Structure and flow play in an endless dance~~~
💙💙
Structure and Flow* play... ? : )
Wonderful adventure my dear friend. Wishing you all the best and don't forget to tell me more about it. Abraços fortes
