What if everything you’ve been taught about happiness was a lie designed to keep you small, scared, and spending?

In this episode, inventor, humanitarian, and radical truth-teller BE Alink challenges us to stop buying into the myths that have shaped our lives — myths that tell us who we should be, what we should buy, and what success looks like. Through a life-altering experience in Afghanistan and years of global service, BE discovered a simple but powerful truth: you can see more with your eyes closed.

This is a conversation about the courage to question everything — including your own identity. It's about closing your eyes to the noise so you can tune into the voice that never stopped speaking: your own.

If you’ve ever felt like there must be more than the hustle, the roles, and the endless pursuit of happiness — this episode will shake the dust off your soul and show you where to begin.

🔥 Topics We Explore:

• Why we've been conditioned to be unhappy (and why it’s profitable)
• The radical power of closing your eyes to access inner wisdom
• What BE learned about true happiness from a blind woman in Afghanistan
• How to stop feeding systems that are quietly killing your joy
• Why language can trap us — and freedom lives beyond identity labels
• The unexpected role of creativity in personal and societal healing
• Why choosing kindness is the most rebellious act in a consumerist world

💭 Reflective Prompt:

What if you could unplug from the noise and rewrite your own story — one rooted in kindness, congruence, and love? What might change?

🧪 How You Can Experiment:

Next time you’re brushing your teeth, close your eyes. Then open them and look in the mirror. Ask yourself one question:

“Do I like who I am?”

If the answer’s no — good. That’s your place to start. Awareness is a practice, not a moment. Begin again.

🧠 Quote to Remember:

“Happiness is a choice. And once you truly choose it, you become the ultimate rebel.” – BE Alink
