Reflections From My Time in Thailand

Isabella Rosley

In this enlightening episode, I delve into the valuable lessons I learned throughout my journey in Thailand. Drawing inspiration from the Buddhist teachings imparted by my Thai mother, Goi, I reflect on how her profound words continue to impact my daily life.

I share the wisdom of the phrase "no mud, no lotus," a powerful reminder that through the inevitable struggles and challenges we face, we can uncover the true beauty and joy of life. Embracing this philosophy, I explore the transformative power of embracing difficulties as opportunities for growth and self-discovery.

Additionally, I delve into the teachings of "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz and how they have shaped my perspective and choices. These agreements - be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions, and always do your best - serve as guiding principles for leading an authentic and fulfilling life.

Together, let's uncover the keys to living a meaningful and fulfilling life in alignment with our values.
