The Myth of Fixing

You’ve done everything
they said it would lead to meaning.

You’ve worked hard.
You’ve given generously.
You’ve poured yourself
into others,
into causes,
into healing what feels broken in the world.

And yet… you’re exhausted.
Maybe even a little disillusioned.

We’ve been taught that
if we just do more,
love more,
give more,
push harder,
we can fix things.

Fix ourselves.
Fix the world.

But…

What if

that very belief
is what’s keeping us stuck?

What if

the exhaustion you’re feeling
is a whisper from within
that doing to prove, to fix, to earn your place
was never the path to wholeness?

My awakened friends,

The world doesn’t need more people fixing broken things.

It needs more people who remember how to be whole.

Transformation doesn’t come
from constantly reacting to what’s broken.
It comes from creating what’s possible.

That means:

Letting go of the idea that the world needs fixing.
Releasing the belief that you’re only valuable when you have solutions.
Shifting your focus from solving the external to aligning with the internal.

You don’t water dead soil hoping something will grow.
You plant new seeds in fertile ground.

Stopping is not giving up.
It’s waking up.

Waking up

to a life that doesn’t demand constant fixing;
to a version of you that leads not from depletion but from alignment.

So if you’re feeling like nothing you’re doing is enough—pause and reset.

You’re resetting
from doing to being.
From force… to flow.
From repairing… to creating.

And this shift changes everything.

With purpose and light,
