We spend most of our lives playing a character, trying to fit in and molding into societies norms and guidelines. Expecting to be accepted we look in others what we lack, expecting to be understood we look for an easy answer, expecting to be valued we let others define ours. We expect life to be other than it is, we expect us to be other than what we are. Creating an eternal fight, an endless run. This application is for you, the seeker, the curious and relentless mind. To look within and start to hear our inner self, to start to be who we really are. To be authentic and true, this is the only purpose of TenStages. With all my heart, I hope that it helps you. Ernest, The app creator. PS: We use HealthKit to write mindful minutes.
