As I reflect on these learnings and this quote, I’m in awe of how many incredible people have crossed my path over the past 10 years, making a difference in the world. You are the future—the doers, striving to leave this world a little better than you found it. You’re doing it: being better parents, better friends, better lovers. For this alone, you should always hold your head high.

Sometimes, we run without realizing it. We bury ourselves in work, lose ourselves in empty relationships, travel endlessly, overindulge in food, or hide behind beauty routines and material possessions. We convince ourselves that living far from family will somehow make us different, freer. And so, we keep running—endlessly.

You already have everything you need to be happy and fulfilled in this moment. How does that resonate with you? Do you believe it? Or are you rolling your eyes, thinking, Marine is nice, but completely wrong? Take a moment to sit with this. Have a real reality check right now. Do you have food in your fridge? A roof over your head? A job that pays the bills? Friends? Family? Health?

When everything seems perfect—loving family, supportive parents, the right conditions—but something still feels off, that's often a sign it’s time for a 'Family Constellation'.

We all need Love. There is no way a newborn can develop healthily without Love. And what happens when Love is not part of the picture? We try to find Love somewhere else like in food, alcohol, sex, self sabotage, violence, medication, escape, drugs, and the list goes on. Whatever will make our body feel whole and complete, even for a minute, we will try for the sake of Love. 

Our thoughts can be misleading. They’re shaped by past experiences, societal expectations, and our moods from day to day. This internal chatter often leans towards negativity, filling our minds with doubts like "I’m not good enough," "I can’t do this," or "I’ll never succeed." But these thoughts aren’t facts; they’re just stories we tell ourselves.
