#11 EDUCATIONAL SUBSCRIPTION
An educational subscription can provide structured learning resources and support to someone who has a hard time, offering a consistent and tailored approach, especially if the resources included in the subscription are related to their situation. Let me recommend one great one.

Mindvalley is a comprehensive online platform dedicated to personal growth and holistic development. It offers a wide range of courses and programs taught by leading experts in various areas such as mindfulness, spirituality, health, relationships, business, career development, and personal transformation. Its approach intelligently combines online learning with community engagement, providing a supportive environment for personal growth, offering a mix of pre-recorded highly engaging video lessons, interactive exercises, and community discussions to facilitate learning and transformation.
One notable aspect of Mindvalley is its emphasis on personal growth as a lifelong journey therefore the platform promotes continuous learning and personal development through its subscription model, offering access to a vast library of courses and content that can be accessed at any time.

What your special someone can expect once they decide to engage with this platform is:
- true self-discovery so that they can start identifying their real preferences, aspirations, goals, and dreams
- setting meaningful goals that have the potential to fulfill their need for self-actualization as opposed to only living on someone else’s terms and building someone else’s dream in order to be accepted by the environment and perceived as successful
- liberation from fabricated societal expectation and norms that not only don’t serve them, but are in fact representing oppression which is suffocating their souls that only wants them to live in alignment with whom they truly are and not what society expects them to be
- to finally awaken their authenticity by letting themselves be visible as opposed to being shy or ashamed of who they are deep down and what they want behind the closed doors
- to acquire skills to make life decisions aligned with their core values and true desires coming from the depth of their being
- begin stepping into their potential and move towards reaching full potential unique for them and different from anyone else’s in the world
- become skilled at self-love that holds the key to building the life of their dreams
- finally become comfortable in their own skin, doing their own thing, and going where they truly want to go in life
- build the life they are proud to call their own and experience lasting fulfilment because their consciousness is so expanded that they don’t need to worry about whether things will work out for them ever again, as now they have skills and support to make them work.
What I love most about it, besides the quality and excellence of the programs and other resources inside, is:
- the fact that it keeps growing and expanding to respond to the needs of us, the members,
- the sense and power of the community, as well as
- the level of support experienced just by being a art of it as you have a strong feeling that things will work out the best for you.
Even if they haven’t been focused on their growth untill now, this shouldn’t stop them from taking action.
And inside this extraordinary membership, they’ll find:
- Full access to Mindvalley’s entire curriculum of best-in-class programs for transforming every dimension of life. (100+)
2. Weekly Mindvalley Live sessions featuring today’s biggest trainers, bestselling authors, and celebrities.
