The common problem we all have is forgetting how lucky we are in this generation. The mind likes to think there’s always something wrong. And so we should keep changing until perfection. But perfection is subjective. It’s personal. Imagine the 1920s. Think about the people living in that era. Every material possession you have right … Continue Reading →

Anything we consume online can influence our minds. If we mindlessly scroll on TikTok, Facebook, or Instagram every day, we feed our minds all those random things. Every. Single. Day. We don’t need most of those things. Most don’t have value. But why are we still doing it? I’ve written before about not owning a … Continue Reading →

Your desires. Your aspirations. Your preferences. They are not purely intentional. At some point, someone instilled them in you. Could be your family or friends. Or school teachers, classmates, workmates, neighbors, or even strangers. Anyone. Whatever you read, watch, or hear — anything you put in your mind, thanks to the Internet — can become … Continue Reading →

The things to do keep piling up. Your mind is racing. Emotions all over the place. But you’re not getting anywhere. You can’t focus. Can’t even start. You are overwhelmed. Being overwhelmed is like being paralyzed. You want to move, but for some reason, you can’t. And you don’t have any idea what’s going on. … Continue Reading →

The truth is the truth. It is undeniable. What you see and hear. In front of you. The truth doesn’t fool you. It is real. It is the thing. It is what’s happening. Without the sugarcoat. Without the labels. In front of you. No matter how many interpretations you have, the truth remains. You can … Continue Reading →

The mind is an open blank space. It wanders. Speculates. Analyzes. Creates. Absorbs. Thoughts come and go. Sometimes it stores what is needed. But for the most part, it discards. It forgets things that don’t matter yet. If you aim to be efficient at anything, you can’t just absorb everything that comes your way. Instead, … Continue Reading →

Seeking external approval is human nature. When others recognize our good work, we felt seen. So we do our best to stay in that loop. After all, we did a really good job. We deserve praise once in a while. But there’s one problem: It’s addictive. And this addiction — as with other addictions — could … Continue Reading →

I had to pack everything for our 8 AM flight. Make sure everything was in order. Everything we needed was in the right place. And the house was secure. Everything. 3 AM. Exhausted. Drained. I told my family to wake up before 6. Move fast. Get ready. I needed sleep. . . . “WE MISSED … Continue Reading →

It’s easy to teach others through words. Examples. Demonstrations. Presentations. Depending on the person, sometimes it works. But sometimes it’s just a complete waste of time. Because we all learn differently. If you’re teaching someone for a long time, but not learning what they’re supposed to learn, you’re probably doing it the wrong way. Try … Continue Reading →

Whenever someone posts their accomplishments on social media, you can’t help but admire (or envy) what they did. But that doesn’t mean you must experience the same thing. Accomplishments are subjective. Maybe good for them. Not for you. What they accomplished is probably what they’re most passionate about. Or it could be what they’ve been … Continue Reading →

A big mistake at work. And now suffering from your boss’s wrath. Ashamed. Worried about the consequences. Because there will be. A bad business deal with someone. And lost a ton of money. Not mentioning the debts and the bills you need to pay. Plus, you need to explain this to your family. You didn’t … Continue Reading →

The life we all dream of is total freedom. We only do things if we want to. Go to places we need (or want) to go. Wake up at whatever hour we want. Spend time with our loved ones whenever we want. We don’t work for money. We don’t have a boss. And most importantly, we … Continue Reading →

A good experience for you may mean bad for your friend. And a good experience for your friend or any stranger on the Internet may mean nothing to you at all. Here’s the truth: We all make meanings and interpretations of our experiences. If it’s a good experience, that’s awesome! What if it’s bad? If … Continue Reading →

If you’re having a bad day, it’s easy to think your life sucks. Because nobody wants a bad day — we only want good day. But how can you say it’s a good day if you don’t know what a bad day is in the first place? And how can you appreciate a good day … Continue Reading →

What we worry about… everything starts in the mind. Our mind is processing all the information we consume. We can’t help it. That’s the mind. If you always consume information about the global crisis, job loss, business shutdowns, hatred and wars, and social issues, then your mind will process and store that information in your … Continue Reading →
