I have been slowly moving from a mindset of just getting by to truly believing in abundance.
Though I did some serious rewiring already, I am starting to see how stuck I have been in that scarcity mindset.
Limiting myself for decades....
Because planning a future feels like a luxury when survival is the focus.

For letting me see what was hidden for so long?
Why is my brain only opening up to me now?
As I understood it, it would be fully functional by late twenties.
| Brain Region | Function | Maturity Age |
|---|---|---|
| Limbic system | Emotion, reward, impulsivity | ~mid-teens (around 15โ17) |
| Prefrontal cortex | Decision-making, planning, impulse control | ~25 years old |
| Synaptic pruning & myelination | Efficiency, speed of processing | Continues into late 20s |
However, it only feels like I recently found the activation switch.
That switch, they call it the executive function it improves pausing, reflecting, and resisting short-term impulses.
It is as if my brain and soul are catching up to each other.
Probably I am late, but I do enjoy this experience a lot, how it challenges me, how it opens me up to things I closed myself off from, but above all, how things finally seem to make sense.
Yes, I have become a better listener to my guiding voices, but above all, a better interpreter of all the clues life gives you.
There are so many interesting signs, I can tell stories based on experience, reflection, and correction. Okay, Boomer, who cares about that?
No one has to; itยดs the attitude that shines through when you talk, this unseen layer of certainty that can inspire.
At the same time, I am seeing myself, and therefore the world, in a different light.
Yes, I might get milder, but itยดs because I accept the flaws in humanity, and the flaws in myself, and both can be improved.
And well, as I am here on this rock lost somewhere in space and time, why should I not give it a try?
What else is there to do that is more important?
Thank you for making it this far....for those who know me...or better, think they know me, this might have been a WTF moment.
There are many sides to all of us, some sides we hide, even from ourselves.
I can be an opinionated little prick, a loving father, or simply a lost soul.
โIf the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is: infinite.โ
โ William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
Jim Morrison named The Doors after this concept. I agree that reality is filtered through our limited perceptions. But we can Break On Through to the other side.
"There are things known and things unknown, and in between are the doors."
โ Jim Morrison
Our minds filter & reduce everything to a digestible and categorizable size, but in the process, we lose sight of the infinite abundance that surrounds us.
