Viktor Frankl says, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” In the same manner, Nadia firmly believes that we can turn challenges and problems, like addiction, into opportunities and possibilities.

Nadia defines addiction as an unhealthy habit that takes control of the quality of your life and happiness. That said, she shares how to help us break this cycle of bad habits.

According to Nadia, The first step is awareness or consciously choosing to start a new beginning. The next involves a decision and implementation altogether because thinking alone is insufficient to change your life if there’s no action to follow through.

Nadia reminds us to be mindful of what we choose to do every day because it’s the small steps that ultimately lead to the biggest changes. Finally, As Hellen Keller once said, “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” It may require time and effort to achieve your dream life, but remember that great things take time.

Everyone has dreams and goals of their own, but only a few actually make them happen. And so you wonder, “what makes it so hard to turn my life around?” In this episode, Nadia explains why some people who seek change either never get past the starting line or never reach the finish line. That…

Please note, in this episode, Nadia has put Jasmine’s story aside to allow for some well-deserved rest, and instead, she’s sharing the power of living in the present moment.

As they say: “Carpe diem” or “seize the day!”

How would your life be if you’d free your mind from the shackles of your past, cast away the cloud of future worries, and choose to live in the now?

In this episode, Nadia presents how living in present peace can significantly influence your desired future towards a purposive and happy life. You may feel stuck in your past or worried about the future, but Nadia affirms that you have the power to turn future worries into your future dreams.

As Rumi suggested: “to wander in the field of flowers, you’ve got to pull the thorns away from your heart.” In the same way, Nadia strongly believes that the quality of your life depends ultimately on the quality of your thoughts.

Trust the process, believe in yourself and all your mind, heart, and soul within the greater force of the universe, and you will achieve your desired outcomes.

This week Nadia continues sharing Jasmine’s stories.

The early morning sun gently caressed Jasmine’s delicate features. It felt like being on the beach, she thought. But how could that be? Usually, it’s dark until she’s in the kitchen. Wanting to enjoy the moment for as long as possible, she didn’t dare open her eyes. It was a moment of peaceful bliss, something she didn’t experience in over twenty years.

As she adjusted her pillow, something sharp pricked her finger. She opened her eyes to see what had caused the pain. It was Allan Knight’s business card. She smiled She had put it underneath her pillow, wanting to sleep with the thought that there are people in this world who care about others.

Looking around, she suddenly remembered. Yesterday night, after the incident with Gray, she had moved from the master bedroom to the guest bedroom. And for the first time in years, she had left the windows unobstructed. Gray always insisted on having the room in total darkness, and so for years, she accommodated his needs. Cold and dark seemed to be Gray’s way to live. The truth is she loved waking up with the sun, and now the whole bedroom was immersed in the sun coming from the east-side window.

Why did she not think of changing the room sooner?
