Jihad Saad – Expand Your Awareness, Transform Your Life

I am completely passionate about personal development and spirituality. My curiosity to understand life, my need to improve my conditions, my love to experience insights and inspiration, my fascination about legendary inspiring people and lives… made me a devout follower of personal development teachings with an insatiable appetite. I discovered and still explore the whole field of self-development, teacher after teacher, book after book, newsletter after newsletter, audio after audio

And over the years, I kept learning new insights, new  liberating inspiring knowledge, and new skills. And with time, the teachings started to become more coherent in my mind, and more clear. I am a big believer that if we want to change our world, we need to change ourselves first. This knowledge about how to apply inner-transformation principles to improve our lives, have been a revelation and a breakthrough to me. Yes it is true, we must be the change that we wish to see.

Am so excited about this message that I believe holds the essence of our liberation, and that’s why I feel the need to share. This is why Uprising Spirit is born. To share the inspiration and the inner-liberation principles with the world, and for me to work and do what I love, research inspiring material, and develop and deliver inspiring creative content.

Because me too, you know, I want to live my life dream!

Besides that, I am a professional program manager and an international relief worker, with 7-year senior program Management experience working with international relief organisations in helping war victims in Iraq, Tsunami victims in Aceh, earthquake victims in Nias and ex-refugees in West Timor.

I am also an entrepreneur and a small business owner, having established last year my student Cafe in Aceh, Rise Up Coffeehouse. I am also a civil engineer, with years of experience in construction projects with INGOs.

But mostly I guess, I am a lover of life and a big believer. I love reading, I love exploring the world, I love personal development materials, I love spiritual teachings and practices, I love news, I love inspiring people and inspiring biographies, I love music and arts, I love swimming, I love smart entertainment, and I love browsing the internet and having warm times with family and friends.

In short, I love my life, I have big dreams, and I believe.
