Don’t settle for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

Nelson Mandela

Former President of South Africa

Don’t settle for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

Nelson Mandela

Former President of South Africa

What happens when we decide to stop settling?

If you believe that everyone has a purpose, then it can seem impossible to believe that any of us can live a fully happy life without pursuing our own purpose. It's like going on a bike race and never using your top gear. 

How can any of us know what true happiness is if we are pursuing someone else's dream—or worse, no dream at all? As it's said, interest yourself not in the pursuit of happiness, but in the happiness of pursuit. To do that, we each must choose our authentic path every day and every moment. Unfortunately, doing so can be strikingly difficult at times. 

In this Soul Mixer, we had an honest conversation around what it feels like to pursue your purpose, how to get started, and most importantly, what to do when the world begins to test our resolve.

We're modernizing the path of personal growth, and we're leaving no stone unturned.

Humans have never had as much access to transformational knowledge and tools as we do at this time in history. The biggest problem is not access, but knowing what to believe or who to listen to.

For those of us who grew up in church being told how to think, what rules to follow, and what deity to believe in, The Brilliant Rebellion is here to help you find what you believe for yourself.For those who grew up with no faith-system, The Brilliant Rebellion provides a safe space to express yourself and ask the questions that have been burning inside you. 

We’re not following a doctrine, a guru or prophet, or even a set of guidelines. We’re giving you access to everything you need to think for yourself while connecting with others doing the same. And it all happens within a supportive community built around our shared quest for bettering our lives.
