Welcome to Feeling Alive with Mynch!
It has been a long time since I have lived my life in the way that I thought I was supposed to live. Going to good schools, having a good grade, getting a good job, acquiring good things as my possessions. I was doing great and my life was great actually, but somehow I felt like something was missing inside. I felt like there was something that would bring out more potential in me as if I hadn’t tapped into my full potential yet which would be something that I came here on this earth to do and if I were there, I would be able to bring out my truest self.
After 3 months of living in Edinburgh, Scotland, what I thought it was gonna be my 1-year master's degree quickly became another whole new story that at first, I didn’t want to admit after over 25 years of being a ‘good sheep’. I realised that this study wasn’t for me. Deep down inside, there has been a calling signal from my soul to go out of this traditional path, a good sheep path to dive deeper into my soul’s gifts and bring them out to be expressed as if they are why I came here to this world. This undercurrent had been going on deep down inside me for a long time without me knowing it. It left a lingering sensation of yearning for something more in life, but at that time, I didn’t have the courage to do my soul calling as it was deemed too risky and scary. Until 3-4 months into my study at Edinburgh, I felt like I had to loosen my grip and let it go. Not seeing it coming at all, I took a break from my studies to finally explore my childhood interests which revolved around creative pursuits - writing, painting, and photography.
This substack is a space where I rediscover what makes me feel alive again after all those years that I’ve been numbing myself out and expecting to go through my life linearly with defined successes. I’m not here to say that that traditional path is not good or something. I really treasure learning from my time on that path. They are so valuable and I cannot wait to bring them on to use in starting my own non-traditional path. I believe everyone is different and I just figured out that my path is just different. I crave more aliveness on my path. It also doesn’t mean I won’t ever go back to a full-time job at all anymore. It’s more of how do I create a life with aliveness.
This space is where you’ll see my stories and come along with me to go on this new path together. I am honestly far from the know-it-all stage. I’m also new on this path as well. And we’ll walk together so, it doesn’t feel too lonely to go through this journey. Regardless, if you were on this non-traditional or traditional path, I feel like my substack still offers something relevant that we’re all striving for which is how to live this life in the most alive way possible! We are not here in this life to just wait to be somewhere else that is better. We are meant to create heaven on earth by living the most alive and beautiful way we all desire.
In this space, here are examples of topics (or even more) I share.
My updates, Learnings and Thoughts on my ‘pathless path’ (I’ll just use Paul Millerd’s term here. I feel it’s the right term here.)
I’m currently figuring it out and we don’t mean to know it all or get it right all the time.
My creations - writings, photography, painting, arts
Soul-led life approaches:
This time, on my current path, I do try to incorporate intuition into what I’m doing a lot (acting from my soul). There were so many incidents that happened to me that clearly demonstrated how powerful intuition/soul whispers are. Even more powerful than our logical mind or thought can do sometimes. But all in all, we just need to implement both harmoniously.
Some spiritual stuff
I’m into spirituality. My spirituality is more of sharing perspective and life lessons/philosophies that I experienced/ learnt in the hope of evoking your inner wisdom as well. I believe we all have the wisdom we need inside. It’s just a matter of what kind of key ( Written words, Wordings, Meditation, Reading books, Spiritual rituals, Approaches and many more) to unlock them. (As I’m describing now, you might not quite catch a glimpse of what it is so stay tuned! > Read more)
