Hey there! This is Week 3 of my blog series where I keep myself accountable by keeping an online journal of sorts. You can read the beginning of this story — Why I quit my job to study, volunteer…
It’s amazing how you can willfully decide to ignore something inevitable. Or even consider the possibility. Despite all the warning signs. Despite being directly asked about it.
I’ve experienced a few remarkable moments recently. In this current chapter of my life…

A Fight within yourself
A lot of thoughts are running on my mind since yesterday as a result of watching a movie called “Revolver”. A part of the movie portrayed about how one goes through a fight between your brain and your heart. When I finished watching the movie, at that moment I felt I am not a victim of that fight in…
Last night while working side by side with my wife, I thought to myself, “man, I sure could go for Emily running her…
Your balls, your rules baby.
It is not uncommon to read about some scandal of corruption, fraud or deception — by government officials, corporate executives, spiritual leaders, celebrities or sport figures.
As a teenager, I used to catch the bus home from university every day. If I was lucky, I could catch an early bus, then a second one and be dropped almost neatly at my front door. If class ran late, I’d have to wait around for the last bus that went into my neighbourhood and then hope that…

So you want to know how to find your purpose in life, but you’re finding this task easier said that done right?

How happy do you have to be, to be happy? What’s wrong with contentedness? If you are already happy, then why do you feel that you need to be more happy?
Let me reveal my hand right at the beginning and say that I think it’s not that people are not happy, but they are…
There are no arguments against a psychotic truth; just a waste of time and energy.
Have you ever come across someone who is absolutely sure of something? Not that certainty grounded in facts, data and analysis, but one that comes from fantasy, created purely by the…
Let me say this now and let me say it resolutely: I am a feminist. I see the ways in which women have been, and are being, woven into existence as subservient, inferior, and generally less valuable members of a society that has, over thousands of years and generations, defined power as…

I smiled above the train tracks rumbling thunders.
Laughed to the air, taste bittersweet.
I’ll leave a little piece of me here, I thought.

This Week I Learned…To Visualize Amazing Things

Our greatest tool for changing the world is our capacity to change our mind about the world. -Marianne Williamson
Over the last 8 months or so, I’ve been on a journey of practicing the power of positive thinking. Let me…

“It doesn’t involve you…” I've been telling myself this like a broken record on repeat for the last three months. But no matter how much I allow this phrase to be on repeat, the inquisition begins:
“Why are you so affected by this? You’re not the one going through it…
WHY!?!? Does shit like this happen?
David Collante, you are an incredible person. I know what you were feeling then and what you sometimes feel now or when you wrote this.
And I know how it feels to be happy that it’s out.
A JOURNEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWING A WELL PLANNED LIFE CAN FALL APART IN AN INSTANT:
CHAPTER 1
I just turned 70 dec. 14th and thought my life was great. I played golf and pickle ball ( great game) had loving sons and grand children and two lovely grand daughters. I had it made.
I've been concerned about how and on what I'm spending my time. To help me with that, I created this simple sheet that goes…
This morning the sun is shining.
I am incredibly close to my mum because she is an excellent mother. She swears and screams at me when I misbehave, and I swear and scream and cry at her when she is annoying as hell. I remember the first time I eloquently shouted “fuck off” at her in a fit of passion when we were…
And so the story begins… Although it’s 12:30PM I was yelled at by Travis to write this. As I’m sitting here and writing this story I’m thinking about the next stage of evolution in my life. I’m only 23 and I still have much to learn and that thought is a very…
Attention medium admins!!! And anyone else following this article. This moron should be banned from medium. I work with everyone involved here and this couldn’t be further from the truth. He’s trying to help a disgruntled employee who was fired for many legitimate reasons blackmail the management of this business. I can prove it if need be and will…
Your words are so genuine and authentic; truth telling in so aptly in words, exposing what is inside, you. Beautiful, both the poem and the person shown behind!
على فكرة .. #رب_العالمين بيستجيب لدعائك وبيحققه كمان .. إيه قولك بقى؟؟!!
وعزته وجلاله، زي ما بقول لك كده وعن تجارب كتير .. أقسم بالله ما كلام تليفزيونات، ده واقع. أنا شخصياً عيشته وعايشاه و دى سنته فى الأرض :)
It has been a while since I have been in a season of major transition. I can feel it; I can taste it. It’s in the air.
As an INTP, I am intuitive and analytical. I truly enjoy problem solving. It brings me joy to find a problem, sit in tension and discover puzzles. I come alive…
I’am now 30. My whole body aches. I feel fatigued all the time. Naps are numerous and days slip by faster then my mind can think “what else?” I’m four months in, but preparing for it has already been ingrained into my psyche. If you’re a long way from 30, time seems…
Life is not as perfect as we think,
Life is not a direct as the lucky says it is,
Life is a puzzle that cannot be solved,
Life was made to make us look stupid,
I wrote this in about 35 minutes for 750words.com. No editing, just writing.
Buying a house is filled with emotion. The fear that you won’t get the house. The fear that you will get the house. The excitement of moving on. The dread of moving on. The strangest part is the time spent…
The other day I was thinking about my move to Germany for university.

Hello my friends , this is me Omar Quadri . in this blog i am going to tell you for what you can be when be yourself .
as you can see the title as “BE YOURSELF” . well what does it mean ? i am going to elaborate it now .
Ted you hit the nail firmly on the head. I observe this often in life. I do not blame technology though this is just an excuse. People have always found ways of distracting themselves from connecting. Connecting is entering the area of fear. Letting people in. A lot people judge themselves heavily and spend a lot of their time using these distraction…
I refuse to judge others, point blank. I have never walked a mile in their shoes, I don’t know their life experiences, and I have no right to think that my opinion is fact.
The last several weeks (how long has it been now? Five? Six?) have seen me succeed, more than I have in a very long time, in abstaining from playing video games. There’s been a hiccup or two, but I’ve largely been successful. That success is due in part to being fairly busy with…

Sudah lama aku menyimpan mimpi-mimpiku ke dalam peti di sudut hati. Sekuat tenaga kuyakinkan diri bahwa yang terbaik ada disini. Namun apa daya, kadang peti itu terbuka sendiri. Entah karena apa. Isinya meronta — ronta minta keluar. Tanpa sanggup membendung, isinya pun berhamburan. Warnanya, yang dulunya indah dan sangat terang, kini tak sanggup lagi…
You are a master! You know the way. There’s no royal way, but one way one needs to be on. Thanks, Yann Girard, and I want to add ‘You are smart, too!’
Life is zero
Take myself as an example.
During the past year,I almost live a busy life every singe day.I keep telling myself that I can never spare any time for my interests ,otherwise once the exam is coming I will be buried in endless…
Another death. Two more people missing. Rescuers nearly caught in an avalanche. This isn’t the Alps. This isn’t the Himalayas. This is Scotland. Radio 4 is reporting it as I eat a leisurely breakfast and enjoy half-term.
I’ve never been the type that could just relax. Even when there’s nothing to do, nothing to achieve or prove, I would always make things up, to keep myself busy. I guess I have convinced myself along the road that the only way to achieve all my dreams and…
John and Thomas Jefferson are finding it incredibly antagonistic to speak to one another. They have principle, but they find differences in their ideas. Their ideas will get bigger and bigger and I hope that they do not have to fight each other to get a point across. They debate with words and have strong…
Excellent article!
Smile makes all the works possible. So always smile nd prey 4 all. ….
I agree with your writing. It’s beautiful to know that there are still people who have such positive view toward the world that keeps on getting tougher as time goes by.
From what I have experienced, I can say that it is a great loss to sacrifice your quirkiness just to stop those bullies. It really is. It is already a great…
How to Raise Highly Successful Kids: 7 Questions to Ask Every Day…
There Comes a Moment When your Kids’ Success Means More to you Than your Own. Here’s What to Do Next.
這個不是一個儒家思想的議題。這只是一個簡單的統計學。稍微把“我們”加一點定義就好了。
當然，很多人不會怎麼接受這件事，因為我們都覺得自己是一種“例外”。不管我們有沒有一些什麼什麼缺點，或是有沒有一些什麼什麼才能，我們還是可以排除萬難，有一天終於可以出人頭地的。
當然別人就不一樣了。
中國人有句話叫“井底之蛙”，大概意思是說別人見識不多。就算天天往上看，也只是能看到井上的一小片天。
I have noticed this as well, it fall’s back to someone feeling they may give the wrong answer or question. Some people just start taking and don’t even remember what, who or how they even got there, but where is here. See what I mean.
If your asking great questions than a real and serious, but great answer should be given. Be Blessed. Christopher
My advice:
Stop running, look around and learning more about as many people you can. building a large group of friendship with all kinds of people. not for your Carier, but to learn from them.
I want to be happy
I’m not there yetBut I’m realizing I want what I had when I was younger. Freedom…but without the anxiety of fear of homelessness or the fear of being broke or hungry. I want to wander. I don’t care as much about where I wander. I just…
To sincerity
To being holistically wholehearted
Life keeps moving.
I’ve been going through a rough patch in life. Things are as if the sky opened up and started to pour rain. Nothing can’t replace the void left by you. I’m just a cogwheel in this mechanism called life. Time just keeps me moving on.
The things that most cause me stress are usually the things that are out of my control.
Things like a customer saying no to an offer. Or the outcome of a fundraising project. Or the timeline of my career.

I read that he represents a “gun/hunting” state so of course gun issues are handled delicately. That’s fair. If hunting is or was a strong part of a state’s economy I think every politician would tread lightly and/or very carefully. Ijs
I admire your honesty
Life happens
When things don’t go the way you plan,
And you feel bitter and wan,
Just tell yourself you’re the best,
And leave to Almighty to fix the rest!
