"Hello Im Ivan: vagabond, mystic in training, blogger, teacher, student of life. Welcome to my little home on the net, where I hope to share ideas and insights to help you lead a deeply fulfilling life."
This is a journey of discovering inner peace and doing work that matters, so you can live the life you truly want, and be able to share your talents with the world. Will you join me?
My site focuses on the two aspects of freedom:
1. Freedom "from": This is physical freedom, making a living doing something you love.
2. Freedom "for": This is psychological freedom, having a meditative mind, living in the moment through restful awareness.
Unless you deeply understand freedom "for", you will always take freedom "from" for granted.
I write about my experiences in: self development, traveling, living abroad, meditation, entrepreneurship, how to live simply and awesomely.
