No Seat? No Table? No Problem: The Power of an Open Mindset

Space isn’t about what’s available. It’s about what we believe exists.

If you think there’s space, there is.
If you think there isn’t, well, there won’t be.

What they call an abundance mindset is just that—a function of the mind. To be boundaryless in thought achieves far more than any title, hierarchy, or permission ever will.

A seat at the table? It doesn’t always require a table. Or even a seat.

Travel teaches this best. When you move, when you see people, cultures, and places, you realize—the ‘them’ and ‘us’ dissolve when the chairs are empty.

Because in the end, we are all in the same ship, traveling together.

Walking into the Sun: The Shadows That Shape Us

When we walk facing the Sun, we cast shadows. They aren’t us, yet they exist because of us—formed by light falling on us.

On the ground, shadows are real, visible, exaggerated—a simple distortion of form. But the ones that fall in our minds? Those are far more dangerous.

In Jungian psychology, the shadow self represents the unconscious, darker side of personality—the fears, insecurities, and untold stories that shape how we see the world.

These inner shadows whisper narratives—about who we are, what we deserve, and what’s possible. And often, it’s those stories that define our future.

So, what shadows fall in your mind?

And more importantly—are they telling the truth?

A picturesque boat house is best complemented by a an awesome boat. The awesome boat by a super estuary. The estuary by the island. The island by its people. The people by their smiles.

And it goes on.

It’s never just one thing that makes all the difference. It’s in the coming together that magic emerges. Every moment suddenly unfurls itself, dusts off any slumber and emerges in its glory, on the coming together!

That’s exactly what happens in teams as well. There is a difference between a team made of champs and a champion team!

Coming together makes all the difference! Coming together means saying more ‘WE’ and less ‘I’. Try.
