Living in a village has not made me less ambitious. It has made me more human. More connected, more grounded, more at peace with the pace and imperfection of life.

You don’t need to move to a village to feel this. But maybe, from time to time, let your soul take a walk there. Even if only in thought. Listen to the silence, breathe with the trees, and remember: you were never meant to live like a machine.

Sometimes, to move forward, you have to first go back.
Back to the soil.
Back to stillness.
Back to yourself.
