Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.
Calling All Adventurers: My Bucket List Safari Awaits at Mont Eco! The thrill of the wild has always called to me. There’s something undeniably magical about venturing into the heart of nature, surrounded by the sights and sounds of untamed Africa. And for years, my ultimate safari dream has been to encounter the legendary Big 5 – lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and African buffalo – in their natural habitat.
That’s why I’m absolutely buzzing with excitement about the prospect of visiting Mont Eco Private Game Reserve! It’s so close that it could have been in my backyard. The thought of witnessing these magnificent creatures firsthand, from the power of a lion’s roar to the gentle grace of an elephant, sends shivers down my spine in the most exhilarating way. Why have I postponed it over and over again?
Imagine spotting a leopard perched high in a tree, its spotted coat blending seamlessly with the surrounding foliage. Or encountering a herd of elephants, their trunks swaying rhythmically as they move across the savanna. These are the moments I’ve been dreaming of, the memories I long to cherish forever. Mont Eco promises an unforgettable experience. It’s more than just a safari; it’s a chance to connect deeply with the African wilderness, to learn about the importance of conservation, and to contribute to the protection of these incredible animals.
So, who’s with me? Let’s plan our adventure to Mont Eco and embark on a journey that will forever change the way we see the world. I can practically hear the call of the wild now!

Fairness. It’s a word we throw around a lot, but what does it truly mean? Is it about treating everyone exactly the same, regardless of their circumstances? Or is it something more nuanced?
For me, fairness is about balance and reciprocity. It’s about ensuring that everyone has a fair chance, even if that means acknowledging that everyone starts from a different place.
Let’s be honest: life isn’t fair. Some people are born with advantages, while others face immense challenges. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive for fairness. True fairness means recognizing that everyone deserves basic human dignity and respect. It means stepping up for those who are disadvantaged and ensuring they have access to the essentials – food, shelter, healthcare.
Fairness also means understanding that our actions have consequences. If we demand respect, we must give it. If we want opportunities, we must create opportunities for others. It’s about recognizing that we are all interconnected and that our actions impact those around us.
Ultimately, fairness is about striving for a world where everyone has the chance to thrive, where benefits are distributed equitably, and where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. It’s a constant work in progress, a balancing act that requires us to be mindful of our own actions and the impact they have on others.
What are your thoughts on fairness? What does it mean to you? I’d love to hear your perspective in the comments below.
Fun: that electric jolt of excitement that screams ‘I am alive!’ The thrill of conquering a treacherous off-road trail in my Mahindra Scorpio N is exhilarating, a symphony of adrenaline and mud. Gaming, with its competitive spirit and the thrill of victory, provides another layer of fun – a digital playground where cunning and strategy reign supreme. And let’s not forget the simple joys of animal companionship – the playful chaos of a dog, the enigmatic aloofness of a cat. These are the vibrant colors that paint the canvas of my life.
But beneath these surface pleasures lies a deeper, more profound kind of fun. The tranquility of nature, whether it’s the crashing waves on a stormy beach or the gentle rustling of leaves in a quiet forest, offers a profound sense of peace. It’s in these moments of stillness that I truly connect with something larger than myself, a reminder of the interconnectedness of all things.
This deeper sense of fun, I believe, is inextricably linked to virtue. It’s about living authentically, striving for excellence in all that I do. The thrill of mastering a new skill, of overcoming a challenge, of demonstrating kindness and compassion – these are the true joys that endure. For even when the material pleasures fade, the satisfaction of living virtuously remains.
And then there’s the deepest level of fun: the joy of inward exploration. Meditation, for me, is a journey into the heart of myself, a voyage of self-discovery. It’s about connecting with the vastness of consciousness, the boundless energy that animates the universe. This inner exploration, coupled with the power of imagination, allows us to create new realities, to transform dreams into tangible experiences. This, I believe, is the ultimate form of fun – a life lived in alignment with one’s true self, a life where every moment, every experience, is an opportunity for growth and joy.
If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?
My feline overlord, a creature of unparalleled grace and, let’s be honest, utter disdain for my human schedule, demands my attention at the most inconvenient hours. 3 AM? Perfect time for a dramatic meow and a soulful stare, demanding immediate head scratches. Now, I love my cat. I truly do. Witness the extravagant display of plush toys scattered across the floor, the endless supply of fancy catnip, and the daily ritual of tuna-flavored treats. But let’s be real, this nightly symphony of meows is starting to feel more like a hostage situation than a loving gesture.
If I could magically imbue my furry dictator with a single piece of crucial knowledge, it would be this: daylight hours are for head scratches. Think about it, kitty. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, the world is a vibrant array of colors and sounds. It’s the perfect time for a good old-fashioned petting session. You can bask in the glory of my undivided attention, purring contentedly while I succumb to your feline charm. But 3 AM? Seriously? I’m dreaming of fluffy clouds and mythical creatures. I’m on the verge of achieving REM sleep nirvana. And then, BAM! A piercing meow shatters the tranquility, followed by a relentless pawing at my face. “What is it, my fluffy overlord?” I groan, stumbling out of bed. “Do you require sustenance? Perhaps a sacrifice of my favorite slippers?” My cat, of course, remains aloof, simply staring at me with an expression that can only be described as “judgy.” “Fine,” I mutter, resigned to my fate. “But next time, try the sun. It’s delightful.” And so, my dear cat, I implore you. Show some mercy. Let your human servant enjoy a full night’s rest. In return, I promise to shower you with affection, tuna, and an endless supply of chin scratches during daylight hours. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with my pillow. And hopefully, a dream where I finally overthrow my feline overlord and establish a strict “no-meowing-after-midnight” policy.
I take some time in my inner rune realm to ponder spiritual progress, and the best way forward. In the mundane world, we use the runes to try and bring change to the physical experience relating to wealth, health, and fame. However, often the change we desire goes deeper than that. To deliver into the depths of a true change, we need to change on a deeper level, and that is one of the esoteric dimensions I would like to share with you.
The mechanism of deeper change lies within the archetypal realm, in the exploration of our personal myth. Like the eddas and sagas telling stories about the gods, we need to tell the story of our own individuation, a process of becoming our true selves. This is not a mere retelling of our physical self but a retelling of our imaginal self, a realm where the archetypes of the collective unconscious come to life within our own unique psyche. Think of it as your fairy tale where anything is possible, a narrative that reflects the interplay of the shadow, the anima/animus, and the wise old man/wise old woman within.
Myth, however, is not just fantasy. It integrates reality into the imaginative, much like the active imagination technique employed by Jung. By crafting and changing the myth, we engage in a process of confrontation with the unconscious, bringing to light the hidden aspects of our psyche that hinder our growth. We rewire the strings of necessity by transforming the archetypal patterns that unconsciously govern our behavior.
Through the mists of consciousness, I perceive my authentic self—an entity unfettered by the constraints of time and space. As dawn breaks on this pivotal day, my thoughts turn to victory, but not the mundane triumphs of everyday life. I contemplate the victory of self-actualization, where SIG manifests as an arrow of pure intent, cutting through the illusions of the ego with greater precision than FA, more focused than the all-encompassing HAG-ALL.
In this sacred moment, I align myself with the wellspring of creative spirituality that flows through my being. True victory belongs not to the physical self, but to the Self, the transcendent center of the psyche that encompasses both the conscious and unconscious. I stand at the threshold of transformation, seeking to view myself through the lens of infinity, to reshape not just my present form, but my very essence in the tapestry of karma.
This metamorphosis I seek transcends the superficial adjustments of daily existence. It is a fundamental realignment of my spiritual trajectory, a deliberate redirection of my libido, the life force that drives our psychological energy. Today’s sacred work delves deeper than material reality, piercing the very core of my being with transformative intent. This is not a transformation that can be captured in mundane goals or measured by earthly metrics—it must be lived, breathed, and experienced in the depths of consciousness.
How does one articulate that which defies description? The ethereal self requires a different language altogether. Logic and reason must bow before the power of myth and story, for only through these timeless vessels can we navigate the waters of the unconscious. In the realm of personal mythology, we discover our Self, liberated from the chains of physical limitation and the tyranny of the ego.
On this day, I shall journey into the landscapes of my personal myth, seeking victory first in these inner realms of infinite possibility. Within these mythic territories, I can finally confront the shadows that have long awaited challenge—knowing that transformation of the myth precedes transformation of reality. Like the knights of old, my quest for the Grail begins not in the outer world, but in the inner sanctum where patterns and ideas dance in eternal communion.
This is the path to authentic change and true victory. The esoteric wisdom of SIG reveals itself: to transform one’s reality, one must first transform one’s myth. In this sacred understanding lies the key to profound metamorphosis, where personal mythology becomes the catalyst for cosmic transformation and the journey of individuation.
