Building Your Dream Occupation: How to Find Purpose, Fulfillment, and Success at Work

Occupation Defined

Your occupation is more than just a job—it’s the way you engage with the world daily, the role you play, and the impact you make. It is the expression of your purpose, skills, and passion, shaping both your life and the lives of others.

 

Building the Dream Occupation

What Drives Us to Work

Why do we work? At its core, work is a pursuit of happiness. But what is happiness? It’s personal, unique to each individual, yet it rests on two foundational principles:

1. Societal Contribution: The work we do must create value in the world, leaving a positive impact on others.

2. Personal Fulfillment: The effort we invest must bring a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

In essence, true satisfaction comes when what we give to the world is returned in a meaningful way.

Every person has a purpose—a “Why”—that lives in their heart. Until you pursue your goals, your true dreams, you cannot feel complete in your occupation. Purpose fuels resilience. It provides hope. And hope is the most powerful tool a human being possesses. Without it, we stagnate; with it, we can overcome any obstacle.

---

Defining Work

Let’s examine the term occupation. It comes from the root word “occupied”. Your occupation is what fills your days—your consistent engagement, contribution, and labor.

• Some devote themselves to educating others, sharing knowledge, skills, and wisdom.

• Others bring joy through entertainment and creativity.

• Avoid being occupied with destructive or illegal activities.

Your occupation is anything you actively engage in, so choose wisely.

---

Seek Knowledge

To fulfill your purpose, education is essential. Knowledge empowers you to serve effectively. As the Hebrew prophet Hosea said, “My people perish for lack of knowledge.”

But knowledge alone is not enough—it must be applied. Education is holistic, touching body, mind, and spirit:

• Spirit: Understand your true identity. Know who you are.

• Mind: Clarify your goals. Understand what you aim to achieve.

• Body: Master the skills and take the actions required to reach your goals.

This requires a commitment to both formal and informal learning, without limits. Study relentlessly, apply your knowledge, and grow continuously.

---

Last Word

Never allow your environment to define your potential. Use whatever resources are available—your skills, your tools, your creativity—to grow, build, and advance. Every step you take brings you closer to creating the occupation of your dreams.

From Failure to Success: Mastering the 5 P’s to Create Thriving Businesses

What is Success?

Success is the consistent pursuit of goals with courage, focus, and adaptability. On the Maverick journey, it’s measured by growth, impact, and the ability to turn setbacks into opportunities.

 

The 5 P’s Every Maverick Entrepreneur Must Master

Starting a business is not just theory—it’s lived experience. Over the past two decades, I’ve had both failures and successes while creating and growing enterprises. What I’ve learned is that success consistently ties back to five critical factors, commonly called the 5 P’s. Understand what you control and how to adapt to your environment, and you’ll progress faster toward your goals, becoming more productive on your journey of Becoming Maverick.

---

1. Product – Solve Real Problems

Your product or service must address a real need. It doesn’t matter how innovative it is—if it doesn’t solve a problem, it won’t sell. My failures often came from products that weren’t desired; my successes came when I truly understood customer needs. Always focus on value.

---

2. Place – Position for Visibility

Where you sell matters. Whether it’s an online store, a physical shop, or a hybrid model, the right place amplifies your chances of success. Choose locations or platforms where your target audience already spends time. Poor placement can kill a business quickly.

---

3. Price – Balance Value and Profit

Pricing is more than numbers; it communicates value. Too high and you risk losing customers; too low and you undermine your brand and profitability. Research, test, and adapt your pricing strategy. My lessons here came from both underpricing and overpricing mistakes—but adapting fast made all the difference.

---

4. Promotion – Communicate Value Authentically

Promotion isn’t about tricking customers—it’s about informing, educating, and building trust. Manipulative marketing may yield a quick sale, but loyal, long-term relationships drive sustainable growth. Customer retention beats one-time wins every time.

---

5. People – The Most Critical P

Without people, your business is dead. This includes customers, employees, partners, and even seemingly small connections. Some of my biggest opportunities came from unexpected relationships. Treat everyone with respect; nurture your network—it’s the lifeblood of your enterprise.

---

Key Takeaways from My Journey

• Experiment and Adapt: No two businesses are identical; the environment changes constantly.

• Learn from Failure: Every mistake teaches which P needs attention or adjustment.

• Control What You Can: Focus on what’s within your influence, and adapt to what you can’t control.

• Start Now: Delay gives competitors the chance to capture the opportunity.

Success in business isn’t a straight path—it’s a journey of learning, adapting, and applying the 5 P’s in every decision. Master them, and you’ll create enterprises that thrive while progressing in your personal journey of Becoming Maverick.

Final Thought: Your Maverick Moment

The 5 P’s are more than business principles—they are your map to freedom, growth, and impact. You have the power to shape your journey, learn from every setback, and turn every challenge into an opportunity.

So, don’t wait for the perfect moment or the “right conditions.” Start now. Test, adapt, and keep moving forward. Every small action compounds into progress.

Mavericks don’t just dream—they act. Take control of your product, your place, your price, your promotion, and most importantly, your people. Build something that matters. Leave a mark. And remember: the world needs your unique contribution—so step boldly, act wisely, and become the Maverick you were born to be.

Shalom!

The Key to Life: Faith, Relationships, and Favour

The Key to Life: Faith, Relationships, and Favour

In psychology and social science, love is defined as a committed pattern of care, attachment, and action that seeks the good of another. Scripture echoes this truth: love and faithfulness are not emotions to feel but virtues to live. Proverbs 3:3 teaches that when love is embodied and expressed through our relationships and work, it shapes character, builds trust, and brings favour with God and people.

“Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.” — Proverbs 3:3

There Is a Formula for Favour

In the Christian faith, Jesus Christ is the ultimate source of life. His death and resurrection stand at the very centre of Christianity, not only as theological truths but as living principles that shape how we engage with the world.

God is extraordinary.

Yet God is also both natural and supernatural.

As God’s children, we are called to understand both natural truths and spiritual truths if we are to live effectively on this side of paradise. Faith is not disconnected from real life; it is meant to inform how we work, relate, lead, and serve.

---

The Cross as the Key to Life

For a moment, imagine “The Key to Life” shaped like a cross.

According to Scripture, Jesus died on a cross, and throughout history Christians have used the cross as a symbol of devotion, sacrifice, and redemption. But beyond symbolism, the cross carries a powerful relational lesson.

The vertical beam represents humanity’s relationship with the Creator.

The horizontal beam represents our relationship with other people.

These are the two primary relationships every human being must navigate.

---

Taking a Closer Look at the Horizontal Beam

Let’s zoom in on the horizontal line of the cross.

This line represents interpersonal relationships — how we treat people, how we build trust, and how we steward connection.

We often underestimate just how important relationships are.

If you were asked what you need to start a business, you would likely list capital, skills, strategy, or resources. Financing would probably be at the top.

But I would argue that the most important item on that list should be relationships.

The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life.

This truth applies just as much in the corporate world as it does in personal life. The old saying, “It’s not so much what you know, but who you know,” may sound uncomfortable — but it contains a great deal of truth.

Everything flows from and is sustained by relationships. When money is no longer an option, when systems fail, and when plans collapse, relationships are often what carry us through.

If you pause long enough to reflect, you will likely reach the same conclusion.

---

Let’s Get Personal

When I look back on my life, I can clearly see that people have played a direct role in both the highs and the lows I’ve experienced.

Modern systems increasingly push us away from human interaction and toward screens, platforms, and devices. Yet no app has ever replaced the power of genuine human connection.

Every system, device, and piece of software is ultimately designed, owned, and operated by a person.

The last few years have been especially challenging. However, because of the relationships my wife and I have intentionally nurtured over time — both personally and professionally — we didn’t just survive the storms of life.

We triumphed.

We grew in resilience, perspective, and depth. Was it easy? No. But it was progressive.

Out of respect for those relationships, I won’t share specific examples on a public platform. Their integrity matters too.

(A deeper conversation can take place during our next Coffee session.)

---

A Call to Live with Intentional Integrity

Let me leave you with this encouragement:

Treat every human being with love, dignity, and respect.

Let your actions give weight to your words.

Live with high integrity and pursue quality in all areas of life.

Get personal. Pay attention to the small details in the lives of those you interact with — both professionally and personally. Those details matter more than we realise.

---

Meditate on This

Proverbs 3:1–6

My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favour and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Rejection Is Not the End: Turning “No” Into Strength, Growth, and Excellence

Excellence

Excellence is the continuous pursuit of personal growth and improvement, focusing on becoming your best self without limits, comparison, or the need for perfection.

Rejection Is Not the End: Turning “No” Into Strength, Growth, and Excellence

How rejection builds resilience, confidence, and emotional maturity

This post is dedicated to every young man who has spent hours, days, or even months wondering how to approach the girl who made him forget how words work.

You finally summon the courage.

You step forward.

You speak.

“What?”

she asks.

You try again.

“No.”

No pause.
No consideration.
No mercy.

Sometimes it’s worse.

“Heck no.”
“Get away, creep.”

And just like that, the pain hits—sudden, sharp, and total.

Your chest tightens.
Your confidence collapses.
Your soul wants to crawl into a hole and disappear.

You’ve been rejected.

And it hurts. Bad.

---

My Story of “No”

This story isn’t just about romance.

It’s about life.

Because every one of us—at some point—has poured everything we had into something only to be rejected.

You might be:

• A salesperson chasing a deal

• An artist sharing your work

• A student awaiting results

• A pastor pouring into people

• A leader launching a project

You invested time, love, passion, energy—maybe even money.

And then came the answer:

No.

Ouch.

---

When Rejection Hits, Everything in You Wants to Quit

When rejection lands, your instinct is primal:

Quit.
Give up.
Disappear.
Die a little.

So here’s the controversial advice:

Do it.

Yes.
Quit.
Die.
Enter the hole.

But do it intentionally.

Not to stay there—
but to heal.

---

Emotional Healing After Rejection (This Part Matters)

Find a safe place where you can:

• Feel the disappointment

• Acknowledge the pain

• Process the emotions

Don’t store rejection for later.
Stored pain leaks out sideways.

If needed, find someone you trust—someone who can listen without fixing, judging, or minimizing.

Then, when the healing has happened…

Come back out.

---

The Power of Psychological Death

Here’s the truth most people never learn:

Once you’ve died emotionally and returned, fear loses its power.

This “death” is not physical.
It’s psychological, emotional, and spiritual.

It’s the moment you accept:

• You cannot control other people’s choices

• You are fully responsible for your response

And that realization?

That’s strength.

When you stop fearing rejection, you stop living cautiously.
You stop shrinking.
You stop asking permission to exist.

---

Rejection Builds Confidence—If You Let It

To overcome your fear of rejection, you must go deeper.

Ask harder questions:

• How can I grow from this?

• What can I improve?

• Who am I becoming through this process?

Search deeper.
Think broader.
Create better.

This journey of growth has a name.

It’s called Excellence.

---

Excellence vs Perfection (Know the Difference)

Perfection is about meeting a standard.

And standards have limits.

Once you hit perfection, there’s nowhere to go.

Excellence is different.

• Excellence is growth without limits

• Excellence is self‑development for your own sake

• Excellence is not comparison

• Excellence is not performance

Everyone is capable of excellence.
Everyone can improve.

And excellence never ends.

---

What If They Still Don’t Like It?

You can pour everything into a project.
You can show up with integrity, passion, and effort.

And someone might still say no.

That doesn’t mean you failed.

It simply means:

• You weren’t aligned with that person

• Your work wasn’t for that audience

• The timing wasn’t right

So don’t collapse.

Pause.

Heal.
Restart.

Shift your focus.
Expand your reach.
Grow your audience.

Find your people.
Find your supporters.
Find your love.

---

Rejection Is Part of Becoming Maverick

If you’re committed to excellence, rejection is unavoidable.

But how you respond determines who you become.

Choose growth over bitterness.
Choose courage over fear.
Choose love over resentment.

Respond progressively.

😊
Okay, you caught me—I didn’t actually tell you my full story.
We’ll save that for our next coffee. ☕😄

Shalom!

The War in Our Minds: How Thoughts Shape Peace, Anxiety, and Identity

How Thoughts Shape Peace, Anxiety, and Identity

The war in our minds shapes behaviour, emotion, and identity. A Maverick exploration of mental discipline through Scripture and psychology.

This photo was taken while on Mission to Zimbabwe in 2013

The War in Our Minds

Why the real battlefield is invisible

I’m speaking to myself as much as I’m speaking to you.

Every human being is fighting a war in their mind. Some are skirmishes. Others are full-scale sieges. But whether we acknowledge it or not, our thoughts shape our emotions, our decisions, and ultimately our direction in life.

Modern psychology confirms what ancient Scripture has long declared: the mind is the control centre of human behaviour. Thoughts precede feelings. Feelings influence actions. Actions, repeated, become identity.

If you want to change your life, you don’t start with behaviour.
You start with attention.

---

Mental Pressure Is Not Weakness

Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, rumination, and emotional overwhelm are often framed as personal failures. Psychology reframes them as signals of cognitive overload—the mind attempting to process threat, uncertainty, or loss of control.

Scripture speaks to this long before the language of neuroscience existed.

Philippians 4 outlines a sequence for mental stability:

• intentional focus

• regulated emotion

• disciplined thinking

• inner peace as an outcome, not a command

Peace is not passive. It is trained.

---

Attention Determines Direction

(Philippians 4:4–8)

Cognitive science tells us that the brain strengthens whatever we repeatedly focus on. This is called neuroplasticity—the mind rewires itself based on repeated thought patterns.

Paul calls this out plainly:
what is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and praiseworthy is not just morally good—it is mentally stabilising.

Thoughts are not neutral.
They either build resilience or erode it.

The mind cannot be left unattended. An untrained mind will default to fear, negativity, and imagined threat—what psychologists call catastrophising.

Scripture calls it something simpler: lack of renewal.

---

Guarding the Mind

(Ephesians 6:17)

Psychology speaks of cognitive filters—the unconscious frameworks through which we interpret reality. Scripture calls this protection.

The “helmet” imagery is not poetic fluff. It is strategic. What enters the mind determines what reaches the heart.

Information passes through the mind before it shapes identity.
If the filter is broken, everything downstream is distorted.

This is why repeated exposure matters:

• media

• conversations

• internal self-talk

• beliefs left unchallenged

You cannot think your way into peace if you keep feeding your mind chaos.

---

Meditation: Then and Now

Modern psychology encourages mindfulness—slowing thought, observing patterns, and intentionally redirecting focus.

Scripture calls this meditation.

Not emptying the mind, but filling it deliberately.

When the mind is aligned with truth, destructive thoughts lose authority. Not because they disappear—but because they are no longer believed.

---

Transformation Is Cognitive

(Romans 12:2)

Behavioural change without mental renewal is temporary. Psychology confirms this: willpower fades, but belief systems endure.

Scripture is blunt:
transformation happens through the renewing of the mind.

Not through pressure.
Not through conformity.
But through intentional rewiring.

A renewed mind produces discernment—clarity about what is good, acceptable, and purposeful.

That is Maverick ground.

---

Final Thought

The war in your life is not primarily external.
It is fought in moments of thought you never speak aloud.

Win there—and everything else begins to realign.

What Is Wisdom? A Practical Definition for Life, Growth, and Maturity

What Is Wisdom? 

Wisdom is defined as the capacity to judge rightly and act well, formed through experience, learning, and deliberate choice.

Choose Wisdom

No one is born wise.
Wisdom is not inherited, downloaded, or guaranteed by age.

Wisdom is chosen.

We often confuse age with wisdom, but they are not the same thing. You can grow older without growing deeper. You can collect years and still repeat the same mistakes—just with better excuses. Wisdom does not arrive automatically with time; it arrives with intentional choices made over time.

Maturity is not measured by how many birthdays you’ve had, but by how often you pause, reflect, and choose differently.

Maturity comes through choice.
Wisdom is what happens when you choose well—consistently.

Growing Older vs Growing Wiser

Life will teach you whether you ask it to or not. Pain is a universal instructor. But wisdom is optional. Some people only learn what hurts; others learn what heals.

The difference is curiosity.

Wise people don’t rush past experiences—they extract meaning from them. They ask better questions:

• What is this trying to teach me?

• What pattern keeps repeating?

• Who am I becoming through this choice?

Wisdom is not about knowing everything. It’s about knowing what matters.

Choose Wisdom Daily

Wisdom is not a one-time decision. It’s a daily posture.

It’s choosing discipline over impulse.
Truth over comfort.
Growth over ego.

As you grow in age, choose to grow in wisdom. Choose to listen more than you speak. Choose to observe before you react. Choose to learn even when it bruises your pride.

Wisdom rarely shouts. It whispers—and waits for those who are still enough to hear it.

Never Stop Learning

Learning keeps you humble. The moment you think you know enough, you stop growing. Wise people remain teachable—not just in classrooms, but in conversations, conflict, and correction.

Read widely. Listen carefully. Learn from people who disagree with you. Wisdom expands when certainty softens.

Learning is not preparation for life.
Learning is life.

Never Stop Dreaming

Dreaming keeps you alive.

Cynicism ages the soul faster than time ever could. Wise people protect their ability to imagine better futures—even when reality is heavy. They don’t confuse realism with resignation.

Dreams are not childish. Giving up on them is.

Wisdom knows that vision gives direction, and direction gives endurance.

Never Stop Thinking

Thinking is an act of resistance in a world that profits from distraction.

Wisdom requires reflection. It asks you to slow down, examine assumptions, challenge narratives, and refuse mental laziness. Not everything that is loud is true. Not everything repeated is right.

Think deeply. Think critically. Think independently.

A Maverick mind is not rebellious for rebellion’s sake—but courageous enough to seek truth even when it’s inconvenient.

Never Stop Hoping

Hope is not naïve optimism. It is disciplined courage.

Hope says: This is not the end.
Hope says: Meaning can be found here.
Hope says: I will not let disappointment define me.

Wise people hope—not because life is easy, but because despair is too costly. Hope anchors the soul when circumstances drift.

Without hope, wisdom turns cold. With hope, wisdom becomes life-giving.

Never Stop…

The list is unfinished—on purpose.

Because wisdom is not a closed system. It invites participation.

Never stop questioning.
Never stop becoming.
Never stop returning to what is true.
Never stop choosing growth over comfort.

And now—add your word.

What will you refuse to stop?

Because wisdom is not something you have.
It is something you choose—again and again.

Choose wisely.

Shalom!

Why Anxiety, Depression, Burnout, and Trauma Are Signals — Not Failures

 

Why anxiety, depression, burnout, and trauma are signals—not failures

Anxiety, depression, burnout, and trauma affect millions worldwide. But what if these mental health struggles are not disorders to fix—rather signals of imbalance? This article reframes mental health through the lens of homeostasis, showing how peace, emotional regulation, and alignment restore balance to the soul.

Today, let us reframe health through the lens of homeostasis, revealing how peace, emotional regulation, and spiritual alignment restore balance to the soul. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, we explore why lasting healing begins with inner regulation—and why peace is far more than a feeling.

---

Peace vs Homeostasis: Why True Peace Is More Than a Feeling

What if biblical peace and biological balance are pointing to the same truth?

This article explores the connection between peace, homeostasis, and the Hebrew concept of Shalom, revealing that true peace is not emotional calm or circumstantial relief, but a state of spiritual, mental, and relational balance essential for human flourishing.

---

A Personal Quest for Peace

At the end of 2020 and into 2021, I embarked on a 40-day personal quest to find peace—not the kind that fades when circumstances change, but the kind that endures.

About 20 days into that journey, I encountered a realisation that reshaped my understanding entirely. What began as a spiritual pursuit unexpectedly collided with a concept I had been pondering for years: homeostasis.

So grab a cup of coffee, put on your thinking hat, and let’s unpack this together.

---

What Is Homeostasis?

Homeostasis is a term used in biology and ecology to describe a system—whether an organism, organ, or ecosystem—that exists in a state of optimal balance. It is the healthiest state a living system can achieve.

Nature has intricate mechanisms to maintain this balance. When disruption occurs, the system enters distress and responds to restore equilibrium. Depending on the severity of the imbalance, the response can be mild—or extreme.

If necessary, nature will even destroy the source of the disturbance.

Nature also operates on timescales far longer than the average human lifespan. This is a sobering reminder of the law of cause and effect: every action triggers a reaction.

---

The Biblical Meaning of Peace (Shalom)

Interestingly, the Bible contains a word that carries almost the exact same meaning as homeostasis.

That word is Shalom.

Often translated simply as peace, Shalom refers to wholeness, completeness, harmony, and perfect balance. Its roots stretch back to Genesis—to the moment God created both the spiritual and natural realms.

When a biological principle and a spiritual principle align so precisely, it signals something profound:
an enduring truth about how life is meant to function.

---

“Be Fruitful and Multiply” Was Never About Chaos

“Be fruitful and multiply” was never a command for frantic growth or relentless striving. It was a call to regulated increase.

True fruitfulness flows from focus, alignment, and peace, not from stress, pressure, or emotional dysregulation.

Scripture does not promote reckless expansion, endless activity, or hustle-driven productivity.

Fruitfulness is not chaos.
Multiplication is not disorder.

In nature, nothing multiplies sustainably from a state of dysregulation.

---

Fruitfulness Requires Regulation, Not Rush

In biological systems, growth only occurs when an organism is in homeostasis—a regulated, balanced internal state. When a system is under constant stress or threat, growth shuts down and survival mode takes over.

The same is true spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.

A person who is anxious, reactive, distracted, or internally conflicted may appear busy—but they are not truly fruitful. Their energy is spent managing imbalance, not creating life.

True fruitfulness flows from:

• Focused attention

• Emotional regulation

• Spiritual alignment

• Inner peace

In other words: Shalom precedes multiplication.

---

Focus Is the Gatekeeper of Peace

Peace is not passive—it is highly focused.

A regulated system knows:

• What to respond to

• What to ignore

• What to release

When focus is scattered, peace collapses. When peace collapses, homeostasis is lost. And when homeostasis is lost, growth becomes distorted—forced instead of organic.

This is why so many people are multiplying activity but not impact, information but not wisdom, noise but not fruit.

---

Disregulated Growth Produces Destruction

In nature, uncontrolled multiplication is called cancer.

Cancer is not foreign—it is growth without regulation.

Spiritually and socially, the same principle applies:

• Ambition without peace becomes domination

• Vision without balance becomes burnout

• Productivity without alignment becomes destruction

God’s original mandate was never about speed.
It was about sustainability across generations.

---

Peace Is the Environment Where Increase Is Safe

When your inner world is regulated—spiritually and emotionally—you create an environment where ideas, relationships, creativity, leadership, and influence can grow without harm.

This is what Shalom protects:

• Growth without damage

• Increase without loss

• Expansion without collapse

To be fruitful and multiply is to increase peacefully, not aggressively.
It is to grow from wholeness, not from lack.

---

A Maverick Truth

The world celebrates hustle.
Nature honours balance.
Scripture calls it peace.

When peace and homeostasis are aligned, fruitfulness becomes inevitable.

---

The Commandments That Protect Homeostasis

Jesus distilled all of life into two commandments:

1. Love God

2. Love your neighbour as yourself

That final phrase matters more than we realise.

You cannot love your neighbour well if you do not know who you are. And you cannot love yourself if you are disconnected from your true identity.

---

Restoring Peace Through Inner Regulation

Peace is not the absence of conflict.
Peace is homeostasis of the soul.

Anxiety, depression, burnout, and trauma may appear different on the surface, but at their core they reflect the same issue: loss of inner balance.

• Anxiety is an overactivated nervous system

• Depression is emotional and mental underactivation

• Burnout is prolonged imbalance without recovery

• Trauma is a system frozen in survival mode

Mental health, then, is not primarily about diagnosis or pathology. It is about restoring regulation, alignment, and peace—what biology calls homeostasis and Scripture calls Shalom.

True healing begins when the soul, mind, and body are brought back into harmony. When we live from emotional regulation, spiritual alignment, and focused awareness, peace becomes more than a feeling—it becomes a stable internal environment where growth is safe.

This is where fruitfulness begins.
Not in striving.
Not in survival.
But in balance.

If you are searching for inner peace, struggling with anxiety or depression, feeling the weight of burnout, or trying to make sense of unresolved trauma, the path forward is not found in endless activity or avoidance. It is found in restoring homeostasis of the soul—a regulated, whole, and grounded way of being.

Shalom!
