Your sense of wonder—and your mind itself—is there to lead you to your most creative way of being, if you give it space.
It is urgent to live enchanted.
—Valter Hugo Mãe
I know I’ll find what I’m looking for. What I believe to be true.
My brain looks for evidence with me. In partnership.
The reality we walk through is shaped not just by what we do, but by what we seek.
And I am looking for beauty.
Not surface-deep beauty, but soul-sourced, pause-your-heartbeat kind of beauty. The kind that appears in a stranger’s smile, in a piece of music you weren’t expecting to love, in the sky when the clouds break just right.
I am looking for synchronicities…little cosmic winks. Magic threaded through the mundane. The text that comes at the perfect time. The opportunity that meets you the moment you say yes.
I am looking for color…vibrant, pulsing, alive.
I am looking for knowledge that awakens something ancient and wild in me. For curiosity that feels like fire. For kindness that cracks open the cold places. For humor that heals.
I am looking for rhythm. For music that pulls me into the river of life. I am looking for passion. For that breathless spark. For your sense of wonder…the kind that opens you up and says, “Look! Just look at this miracle we’re living in!”
And here’s the thing: my brain? She’s not just along for the ride. She’s a co-conspirator. A Partner. Navigator.
“See that?” she asks. “Here it comes again.”
It’s a loop of delight. A feedback system between soul and science. This is not just mindset. This is frequency. Resonance. Alignment with the highest creative power of the universe itself.
When we choose to look for beauty, for joy, for meaning, we’re tuning our entire being to the signal of the extraordinary. And that changes everything.
Cultivate Your Sense of Wonder with a Fun & Easy Exercise
Let’s play…
Step 1
Go on a 20-minute or so “Beauty Walk.” No phone. Just you and your unbridled attention.
Step 2
During your walk, look for five things that surprise you with their beauty. They can be simple: the texture of a brick wall, the way sunlight moves across a leaf, the sound of splashing water near a rushing stream.
Step 3
After your walk, write down what you noticed. Not just what it was, but how it made you feel. What shifted in you?
Notice how when we attune to experiencing something like beauty, we begin to see it all around us. Everywhere. And, notice that these moments of affirmation of what we expect to see fill us with a certain delight and renewal that quickens our hearts while settling us into calm.
Cascading, rolling waves of delight, surprise—a frequency that matches that of the universe.
To live enchanted doesn’t mean escaping reality or floating through life in some gauzy daydream. It means seeing differently. It means reclaiming your sense of wonder, even when you’re tired.
It’s choosing to infuse meaning into the mundane. It’s remembering that we didn’t become a creator or a leader to be a cog in a machine—we came to rewrite the story.
