“There’s only one simple rule in life. Follow it and you’ll always be happy, your life will be filled with joy, your fears will evaporate, and you’ll get everything you wish for.
“Do everything with LOVE”
1, Love is the foundation of all good.
2, Love is the foundation of all happiness.
3, Love is the foundation of all positivity
4, Love is the foundation of respect for the self and the other.
5, Love is the foundation of understanding
6, Love is the foundation of peace within and out of the self.
7, Love is the foundation of all positive dreams.
8, Love is the foundation and vibrational frequency of everything you want.
9, Love is the foundation of acceptance of the self and outside of the self.
10, Love is everything to every sentient being.
11, Love is the foundation of sacrifice of the self for another.
12, Love is the most balanced emotion you’ll chemically induce in your brain as the opposite is as powerful as Love itself.
13, Love is the foundation of all creation.
Divert all your efforts to flow from LOVE, from this moment forth and you’ll see an evident shift, in how your life improves substantially within.

When you look at a tree, what do you see? A tree?
I subjectively see every tree as an individual Planet, why I hear you ask? Next time you are near a tree, look up you’ll notice the sheer amount of life one tree supports...
One tree supports:
1, Birds - many species
2, Bugs - many species
3, Flies - many Species
4, Worms - many species
5, Snails - many species
6, Each branch on that tree
7, That tree’s roots
8, And of course trees support Humans in many ways, each one tree supports the life of at least 10 humans in many ways just by purifying our air.
Trees are so strong, something that would kill any human instantly? they take in tonnes of it out of the air, every hour, every day, every week, every year.

“The strongest thing you can do in life, is to never give up, no matter what, you have this power and capability inside you right now, the proof is, after all you have been through, you are still alive right now, still standing, still trying, you didn’t give up, never give up”

“The most profound conversation, I have ever had with a human being, in my time on earth, was with a female 18 years old in patient, in a mental health hospital”
She was simply herself, she had no need to be sticky, no need to shrink, in that moment to me, her energy felt absolute, she had no reason to be mendacious, wear a mask, pretend, exude fear, she was in essence, what we all are at our base.
Now ask yourself, who are mentally ill? Us with our fear of everything and keeping up appearances or the young lady I spoke with, the answer is pretty obvious.

The below are only a few reasons why I strongly believe, Stoicism should be taught to all young humans from age 5 to 18”
“Courage is THE foundation virtue, all other virtues fail without it or in its absence”
“The only way to strengthen courage is to practice it through daily choices”
“Every time you act with courage, fear gets smaller”
“If you can’t tolerate discomfort, you’ll always be owned by fear”
“Comfort is not the same as peace”
“Survival is not the same as freedom”

Every living organism on earth has a direct connection to earth, as they walk around barefoot, so they are constantly in touch the natural vibrations of earth, they are constantly fluid, they flow and all vibrate at a high vibrational frequency, we call them wild animals however, technically, they are natural animals, behaving concisely as Mother Nature intended.
There is only 1 living organism on earth that intentionally disconnects its connection to nature, the natural high vibrational frequency in nature by wearing clothing, shoes, fashion etc, “Humans” this might explain the reason why humans are the only living things on earth who don’t live in equilibrium with its surroundings, instead choosing to move into an area and terraform, damaging nature and evicting other living organisms in the process.
Page | 55
“Your permanent happiness, effective change, course correction, the future you want, the version of you that stops shrinking, all your positive hopes and dreams, the person you want to be, have all been locked away by you, in the preternatural side of you, to release all and more, all you have to do is align with it, increase your vibrational frequency and “dans le sac” It all comes flooding back in”
Page | 56
On the inside, we are all 5 years old, connected to the cosmos, with limitless possibilities, limitless imagination, nothing is impossible, a strong connection to source and more spiritual than the older version of us can ever fathom.
Enlightenment
Spiritual awakening
Is basically a journey to rediscover all of the above, whilst shedding the excess baggage of growing up.
Page | 57
“No matter how bad my day has been, the moment I get in a park, no matter the weather, take my shoes off, socks off, the moment the soles of my feet make direct contact with earth/grass, it takes less than 5 minutes of walking around barefoot, mentally, all my stress, worries, anxiety evaporate, as if I just woke up from a 9 hours’ sleep”
Give it a try, as a sentient being, your body is capable of soaking up the high vibrational frequency that is abundant in nature, when you let it”
Page | 58
“You are not a human being seeking a spiritual experience, you are a spiritual being, having a human experience”

4, live each day like it’s your last.
5, love unconditionally.

“If you are still alive, great, get up, 1, there’s work to be done, 2, there’s positivity to inject/infuse/exude, into our world. 3, people to save, 4, people to enlighten, 5, light to share, 6, Evil to vanquish. 7, Balance to restore. 8, inventions to be created, to help our world. 9, You are the answer to someone’s prayers, now get up and do something positive to benefit the collective human race. 10, no idea is too big, no idea too small, take that step, start that business, get funding for that idea/invention. 11, YOU ARE WORTHY - YOU ARE EQUAL TO THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON ALIVE.

10, Walking in the rain is free.
11, it’s free to look at any birds as they fly past.
12, be free, think freely, stay free.

In nature, there is abundant free life, unlimited free food, unlimited free shelter, unlimited free love. Unlimited free life, unlimited free clean air, everything we needed to survive on planet earth was readily given to us completely free.
None of the early versions of our ancestors needed money, skyscrapers, cars, guns, tv shows to survive, yet they did survive, year in year out.
A few humans’ centuries ago, took all the above and turned it into this pitiful monstrosity, we call civilisation, where people die from hunger, even though there is an abundance of food and water provided by nature for free.
We created the world we collectively live in today for 1 reason “Money” an instrument of commerce, 2 forms, paper and pixels on a screen.
There is nothing civilised about humans in 2025, our behaviour towards each other is literally the concise opposite of civilised.

“If you are waiting for permission to be your authentic self, to stop shrinking in spaces you have outgrown, to live in a way that is consistent with whom you truly are at your base essence… this is it, now, flow with life, live your life, find your purpose”
“Your purpose will be directly linked to your natural talent(s) - a skill, something you are/were naturally phenomenal at between age 5-10, you may have forgotten it in the fog and con of adulthood, however, it hasn’t forgotten you, like riding a bike, it’s still there, remember it, start using that natural born talent to help others and yourself and I promise, you will unstoppable by any force in any realm”

When you take a leap of faith in anything you embark on:
1, you could lose it all, however, there’s a reason you’re thinking of that leap in the first place,
1.1, you’ve outgrown where you are.
1.2, You seek change
1.3, You need change.
2, You could gain it all, gaining a lot more than you’re walking away from.
The 2nd is more likely than the 1st, for reasons that will become obvious when you take that leap of faith.
Just ask every successful person in any field today.
“Blind faith is more rewarding than your comfort zone”

“The only thing on you right now you can’t replace is you, yet you are the thing you look after the least”

“At some point this coming weekend, get into a park near you, take your shoes off, socks off and walk bare footed, music or silence, up to you, for 5-10 minutes or longer if you can, I promise you will notice an improvement in your mental wellbeing within 2 minutes, I do this twice a day for at least 30 minutes each time, when you do it at the end of a working day? Negativity evaporates faster than vapour, this is something we should make time to do, it’s the fastest way to reconnect with nature”
“You can thank me later.”

“You should treat every human and sentient being you meet or interact with, the same way you would treat your favourite celebrity if you met them”

“The truth can be stranger than fiction”
Page | 87
“Could you imagine a country where one family are treated like royalty? with houses with over100 rooms, paid for by their loyal subjects, whilst some of their loyal subjects can’t afford to eat, feed their kids, live in fear of homelessness daily, some of their subjects/soldiers who have quite literally risked their lives for this family, in faraway countries, are actually homeless and in some cases can’t access the help they need for their mental health, something this one family can access at will, without waiting in a queue like 99% of their subjects, yet this family don’t even do the bare minimum to help their subjects, taking financial advantage of their subjects every chance they get, their crimes are swept under the carpet, no rules apply to them, no tax liability, no accountability whatsoever for this one family, whilst some of their subjects die from a lack of basic dignity daily, heating in their old age, some of their subjects actually agree they deserve this elevation through an accident of birth, whilst struggling to survive day to day”
Could you imagine such a country? in any world? on any planet? in any galaxy? In any universe?

“The first golden rule of any con is to find someone or numerous people who want something for nothing, then give them nothing for something”
“The second golden rule of a con is you can’t con an honest person”
“The above 2 rules are essentially what any “civilised” democracies are based on in 2025” “Society makes us sticky, makes us subconsciously dishonest by competing with others, for things nature gave us free, it’s like the hunger games out there, just on a global scale. Once “educated” then we can be conned into living a life that has absolutely nothing to do with being human. Think about everything society asks of you? All the inaccuracies you have been educated to believe? the time you give up? what you physically pay for anything? Now think, what do you actually get back from society now, today in 2025? “It all feels like a well curated, elaborate con to me”

Planet earth - our collective home, is like a ship on the open seas, it’s quite old, the rudders are barely working, however still functional, the engine is not in great condition, there are people working around the clock to fix the leaks, fix the engine, fix the structure.
meanwhile, there are people quite literally digging a hole in the hull, claiming it is their right to do so.
Until we can collectively convince those people, through education, not by force or insults, it’s in all our collective interests, for them to stop digging those holes, in the hull of the good ship earth.
Every one of us will drown with that ship.
Our fates are inexplicably linked, how ironic, on a ship where people tend to think I/ME rather than WE/US

“At best, humans are noisy neighbours, who have taken over a shared garden, leave their rubbish in the shared garden, don’t clean up after their dogs and behave contrary to every rule in their tenancy agreement, the other tenants have complained billions of times, however, fortunately for humans, the landlord has the patience of a God”
We can’t continue to live, the way we currently are forever.

“What happens when you achieve your wildest dreams? Imagine for 1 minute:
1, you have it all, the money, the houses, the successful company, the perfect family.
2, Without grounding and anchoring to yourself,
3, No happiness within, just material happiness.
4, No acceptance of you have enough.
5, No purpose in life.
6, No humanity at all.
you will simply keep searching for what you already have within
Material happiness will only last for so long before it swallowed whole by the chasm in your soul you have not filled yet.

If you want proof, look at the behaviours of the most financially wealthiest humans on earth today in June 2025, they should be so happy, the good, kind and humanitarian deeds, should be pouring out of them effortlessly, instead, they are some of the most unhappiest, hateful humans on earth, who seek even more money, at that point, it’s a sickness, those humans are attempting to fill a void/chasm in their soul with money. Not possible, you can’t buy your way into the spiritual, you have to do the work, there are no shortcuts.

“This is profound lesson in patience”
“That tree has actually spent the time growing the foundations required to support its growth above ground, it could not sustain its height above ground without those years of root building”
“When you are building something, don’t rush, take your time, master each step before moving on to the next, this way, when you succeed, which you inevitably will, you’ll have the foundations to handle the success, rather than crumble under the weight of your success”

1, The best business idea is to find something you can get for little or no money, that you can sell for more. 2, The second best business idea is to create a problem, find/have the solution and monetise the solution. Every successful business on earth right now uses one of the above. We have billions of common enemies now, not just 1, like during the WW2. We the 99%, willingly do it all - accept it all - swallow the garbage - for an instrument of commerce. “If you are reading this book, then you are already too awake, to go back to sleep”

There are over 100 posts on my TikTok page, nearly 1000 Stoic quotes and Stoic insights in all my 9 books, all written by me, from the heart, to spread light, love and enlighten others, this one is the most important one to me.”
"Please help young people every chance you get, all our lives are linked, whether we choose to accept it or not"
"Steve Jobs was adopted by an American couple, Paul and Clara Jobs, in 1955, when his mother put him up for adoption, by that 1 action, that could not have been easy, Paul and Clara Jobs helped billions of people on earth, with 1 act, without realising it at the time. The smart phone would/could not exist in its current form, if not for the generosity of those 2 amazing human beings"
"Your 1 act of kindness towards a young person, will ripple out further than you will ever know, and will continue to do so long after you completed your journey in this life, you can still google Paul and Clara Jobs now and read about them, you will
still be able to read about them in 400 years’ time"
"What an act of unconditional love”
