Serendipity - the gift of finding valuable or agreeable things not looked for Hey, it’s Mau. I’m writing this to you from the side of a mountain in the countryside of Colombia at my friend Mike’s finca. A Finca is what we would call a ranch or farm back in the states. A piece of land with a little house on it. In this case - a modern little container home. There’s also an ice-cold, natural spring pool on this property… (reminds me of home). Anyways, how did I get here? The answer: Following...
Life doesn't slow down for anyone...
Hello friend, Mau here I’m sitting here drinking a cup of coffee (with no coconut oil bc I couldn’t find it — argh) in my friend Sam’s studio. It’s actually full of my old gear… Sam is a buddy here from Austin. We used to DJ a lot together. I’d definitely consider him one of my best friends (although we haven’t been in touch as much lately). Regardless, he opened up his place to me and I’m so fucking grateful. I’m so grateful for how life works… how we are constantly supported. How even if we...
Is it ego, fear, or intuition?
Hey, mau here. If you read my last email, you might've seen that I spontaneously booked a place in Bali at 1:12 in the morning... And ngl – the next 3 days I woke up shitting my pants. My mind racing: Am I really going to Bali?" "Why did I book this so fast?" "Why did I just blast this to over 500 people and post it on my story?" "Do I even want to go?" "Is this a good idea?" "Will this work out?" "What if I don't like it?" "I don't even really want to leave Austin..." "I have friends...
2 hours of Eckhart Tolle in 2 minutes
Are you enlightened, bro? Hey Reader, mau here… So I went to see Eckart Tolle speak last night. If you don’t know who that is, he’s the guy who wrote the famous book “The Power of Now”. It came out over 20 years ago. I feel like that book is most people’s initiation into the whole “consciousness” wave... And guess what? It’s not surprising the whole talk was about the importance of the present moment. Since you weren’t there, let me give you the rundown and MY take on it… *takes a deep breath...
Do you dance in the rain?
Two kinds of people in the world... Hey, mau here… So yesterday I went on a run in the evening and the weather was fucking incredible – Cloudy with grey/blue skies and the wind was picking up like it was about to rain. I LOVE the rain. After running I jumped in my car and headed to Trader Joe’s to pick up food for dinner… While i was driving there, the sky turned a deep dark blue/almost purple and I saw some lightning. It felt like a scene out of a movie… and this “larger-than-life” feeling...
Perception = peace
This one mindset shift will change your life. Hey, mau here... I'm sitting at a cafe called Mañana in the mañana. ha – get it? Outside in the sun. The wind is on the briskier side today. It's a fucking beautiful day. (Oops – hit the table and spilt coffee on my shoe). Ah....... That's me sighing. At life. At the beauty of it all. And yes, I'm talking about the bad stuff too. The pain, the failures, the heartbreaks... It's all beautiful. It's all Lessons. Experiences. (re)Direction. Every...
Find yourself constantly worrying?
"What if things don't work out?" "What if I look dumb for trying?" "What if I can't make money?" Hey, mau here... Wanna know something? One thing people have said about me is that I don't worry much... “It seems like you’re always chillin” – they tell me, “never stressed, never worried…”, To be fair, I used to hold a lot of things in… Pretending things were fine when they weren't... But for the most part, I do think there is some truth to that... I'm not sure where it came from, but I’ve...
How to Find Your Path Through "Experiential Iterative Alignment"
Feel like there should be more to life...? There can be no wrong path… inasmuch as you are consciously moving away from what you don't want. - mau Do you question if you're on the right path or if you're just wasting your time? Do you secretly suppress your dreams out of fear of what other people will think? If you answered yes, let me tell you why if you don't do something drastic about it now, you'll wake up in 10,15,20 years… wondering where your life went, and never getting to truly...
How to unify your outer world and inner vision
...by eliminating "Deviation" How many times have you thought: "I wish I could do that" "Once I have [random amount of money] I'll start doing Y" "I can't wait until I can finally focus on X" I catch myself saying this all the time, and I hear it in other people too. If you've thought this, it means you're living in "Deviation"… In science, deviation means: "The action of departing from an established course or accepted standard." But here's how I've come define it: Deviation is how far off...
the key to creating the reality you want
Hey hey I'm sitting on a hammock in the middle of the Colombian jungle. I'm about to spend the night in Tayrona Park (on another hammock lol) but I wanted to get this out to you real quick. Okay... This is going to sound like the most woo-woo shit you've probably ever heard... But hear me out, because this is literally the KEY to creating the reality you desire. You ready? Okay, for a moment I want you to forget the world. Tune everything out. Be here with me now. Whatever you were worrying...
The crazy sequence of events you call life
I almost started crying... I was looking out at the beautiful green mountains through the window...Riding on a bus through the countryside of Chile. And it's moments like this that I ask myself... how the hell did I get here??? And the only reason I'm HERE... I thought... Is because I decided to move to Puerto Escondido after living in Colombia. And while in Puerto Escondido, I met RANDOM people at the gym (and a few others I can't remember).That told me about a place... San Jose del...
