“What I do is sort of like dynamic meditation. I confront the useless beliefs and ideas you cling to, in a way that you’ll react. After you’ve gotten all your pent up emotions out, then you’re more open to what I have to say.” I was on the receiving end of this a few weeks [...]
You’re stuck for answers. The situation feels hopeless, and besides, you have no idea what the hell to do. I’m sure many of you have felt this way more than a few times. It’s especially hard to make life changing decisions when either: a) Everyone you talk to has a different and conflicting opinion. b) [...]
Life may have no meaning. Or even worse, it may have a meaning of which I disapprove. ~ Ashleigh Brilliant It took me a while to figure out that the future held no self fulfillment for me. It was a bit hard to come to that conclusion while I was immersed in the noisy banter [...]
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” [...]
Acceptance is like a warm embrace. I learnt this after a painful struggle with social anxiety disorder that prevented me from functioning normally in social situations. Anxiety and paranoia constantly plagued me, but the true disorder was my debilitating inability to accept what I was going through. I would angrily ask “why is this happening to me?”, [...]
“Without courage all virtues lose their meaning.” ~ Winston Churchill Some people live life in the fast lane. I spent most of mine on the side of the road, hood ajar, staring at a smoking engine…scratching my head. I admired entrepreneurs and innovators like Steve Jobs and Walt Disney. I admired courageous speakers against injustice [...]
Did you know that only 10% of our mind functions consciously on a daily basis? That leaves the other 90% functioning on an unconscious auto-pilot mode. In essence, all the stimulation of our daily lives is filtered out and sifted for what is the most immediately relevant to us. So what’s the big deal you [...]
“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” ~ C.G. Jung There are two kinds of people in this world: the Introspective person, and the Extrospective person. The Extrospective person directs their mental focus outwards, understanding the processes of the external world. [...]
Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness. ~ James Thurber Frenzied blurs, animalistic reactions, repetitious routines. If you have ever found your life feeling plastic and hollow, you are most likely a puppet of the dream many of us live while we’re awake. You’re a victim [...]
There are three irreversible facts of life. We are born alone, we live alone, and we die alone. Aloneness is in our basic nature, it is at our very roots. In reality, the world is a subjective experience through the eyes of one person alone, You. So it is with this understanding, that I must [...]
One of the most important discoveries I’ve made in my life is that only in solitude can we discover who we truly are. Only in solitude can we discover what our lives are about, what our personal purposes are and most essentially, develop the inner peace we need to live life fully, deeply and meaningfully. [...]
“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?” ~ Satchel Paige There is a special kind of person in our world who finds himself alone and isolated, almost since birth. His solitary existence isn’t from a preference or an antisocial temperament – he is simply old. Old in heart, [...]
