  1. Grasshopper Philosophy
  2. Five Principles

Faith and motivation

"3. We build up faith and motivation that we can be healthier."

Grasshopper Philosophy interprets "healthier" in a broader sense than merely referring to physical and mental states. It views "healthier" as reaching one's full potential, akin to a plant's growth in nature.

No one desires to be a diminished version of themselves when presented with the choice. However, addiction robs individuals of their power, creates damages, and hinders them from becoming their true selves.

For individuals seeking recovery from addiction, belief and inspiration that life can change is indispensable.

Grasshopper Philosophy recognizes that authentic connection serves as the most effective approach to attain and sustain this motivation. It also acknowledges that this is a gradual, ebbing and flowing process that takes time.
