A couple of weeks back, I had just written an update about the Being Institute and where it would go, what we had planned for the year.
In the last email, I shared what’s next for the Being Institute; now it no longer exists...
I have been quiet for a few weeks as a lot has been changing.
The hard facts?
No further updates from the Being Institute.
After a conversation with my former mentor and my co-founders, it became clear that things didn’t work for me and that I would go back to running an individual business.
In the span of 2 weeks, the business mostly dissolved, programs ended, and I am back to being a sole owner.
Things were surprising, fast, and at times really painful, yet also freeing in a strange sense.
I read about the process of separating a business with people you love, and if I am honest, I thought this would never happen in my world :-)
There are countless lessons I have drawn from this experience, one of which is that it is always easier to make sense in retrospect. In the moment, you often dont see the full picture, or at least I dont, yet reflecting had me see tons of things I had missed while being in it.
Also, I have been reminded of the fact that we all live in separate realities, which includes the people closest to you. What makes perfect sense to me might make no sense to you given that your view on the world is different, filtered through a different set of ideas and beliefs and experiences.
We can easily feel wronged, yet it is in my experience always a matter of a lack of understanding. I experienced this during the separation of the business — I had moments when I felt angry, distant, and closed towards my co-founders, only to find that when I actually tried to understand them, or they did the same with me, the anger disappeared and we got back to warmth.
No matter how conscious I think I am, I am human and will react. But how quickly can you see yourself reacting and go back to responding and creating?
Your mind gets busy with all sorts of ideas… How will this look? What will be the consequences? What will people think? See I knew you wouldn’t be able to… Bla Bla Bla. Assigning intentions to others that you have no evidence for, making up stories to either feel better or feel worse.
I found myself being reminded of the moment I discovered I didn’t have to listen to my own thoughts. And in that I found a great freedom to be.
It is funny how sometimes the most uncomfortable moments provide the most freedom.
Letting go of a future I thought would happen for sure felt discouraging, yet it can also be the greatest opportunity of your life to create more of what you really want.
As I am still managing the closure of this chapter, I am also looking ahead to what future I would love to create.
For now, a few things to know for you, if you’d like to stay on the journey.
I will change the rhythm of the newsletter to when I have something to say I truly think is worth your read. This might be 1 time a week, 2 times, or 1 time a month. My intention is to go by impact, rather than frequency.
You will find me from now on under my old website: moritzlembert.com, which will be reconstructed over the following weeks to reflect the new direction.
More updates to come as the new direction gets clearer.
Meanwhile, I want to thank you for coming along, and I wish to continue to provide useful insights, new perspectives, and practical ideas to you.
Till soon, Moritz
