Happiness in the house at the edge of the world

Everyone has a calling in life, but sometimes we are scared to embrace our true selves or pursue what we believe in. I’ve experienced this fear myself. Occasionally, when I paint, I find myself hesitating, afraid to make a “mistake.” To over- come this, I have a special exercise that I do. Let me share it with you.

Imagine a scenario where all the people in the world vanish, but for a good reason. Perhaps they’ve all gone on vacation to Mars and become preoccupied. You find yourself alone on this planet, with nobody to judge you and no one to prove yourself to. What would your life look like in this solitary existence? Where would you choose to live? How would your days unfold? What activ- ities would you engage in, and how would they make you feel?

This imagined place be- comes your sanctuary—a ref- uge where you can escape from fears and doubts. It’s a place where you can reconnect with your true self and regain a sense of empowerment. After spending time in this sanctuary, return to the world with renewed confidence and pursue your passions boldly.
Let me share an example of such a secret sanctuary and how it feels: “Happiness at the house at the edge of the world.”
