Hi everyone,
Welcome back to the blog.

Sometimes we lose ourselves, when searching for something greater. We lose ourselves only because we get blinded by greed. Social respect and honor affects us more than peace. It is easier to get carried away, than stay put. And it’s okay to get carried away. We are only human and we shift continuously, but as much as we don’t get carried away, we…

If the life journey is always smooth we will not evolve spiritually. That is adversity visits us and tries to teach lessons which if learned will bolster our spiritual quotient.Pain will persist until we learn the lessons. Resistance is futile and it will prolong our misery.Accepting the inevitability of pain but not suffering helps us to face turbulence with equanimity.
Well written in bringing an understanding as to learning and the Mind! In my seasoned Life, Living a Life of Sobriety, I too relate to learning by simply immersing myself into a task in whatever environment I am present at the time.
The example I use is getting a rope and learning to tie a Square Knot. The more you practice…
Dear X,
I know you’ve been going through hard times. Man, it’s clear from your demeanor. Something’s vanished in your gaze. And your shoulders look like they’re sore from the weight you’ve been carrying. Sometimes, though, you still smile. We can still laugh, and it feels like nothing…

In many instances, we lie because it is expected. People prefer the lie to honesty. In fact, in our culture, honesty is difficult to respect.

Absolutely true! Not clinging to the situation is the key. Let go should be the mantra.
So, this is a post from my old blog (which I often wrote on during my teens and nope, not telling you the link).

Great achievements in any field are the cumulative culmination of incremental improvements. A chess player hones her skills through experience. When a scientific breakthrough comes in an epiphanous moment, it is merely that the dots got connected through consistent efforts in experimentation.The compounding effect underpins the momentum factor which…

Your words were affirming. I write about mindfulness and about how to become the best versions of ourselves with an emphasis on offering tools for the project. You are your own DIY.
I can’t be responsible for anyone else. That doesn’t always resonate with people wanting a all inclusive “done for you” experience.
A common response when things get difficult is to slow down or even stop making progress towards what we want.

Somehow I’ve ended up with several of these guys. I never seem to “get” any of them. Someone else does. But that’s okay. In almost all cases, it’s for the best.
What’s interesting is that I’m still friends with many of them — they still have an unspoken soft spot for me and vice versa. We may not discuss it or acknowledge…
I am 31 (and a half) working a similar job I had at 19, a dreamer, a mother, a wife. I’m not sure what “my thing” is. Do I have one? Do I need one? I’m not sure. I just know that seeing other people with “their thing” working towards something, building into their futures makes me so aware of my lack…

Dear Teenage Self

Deze week is zo bijzonder begonnen. Na 2.5 jaar van geen contact, schuldgevoel bij mij en bergen vragen was er ineens een moment elkaar te spreken. Alles kon op tafel worden gelegd en oprecht uitgesproken worden.
I don’t know who you are, and I would probably not recognize you if I d meet you in real.
However I believe we have a kind of fiction in our mind, about who we are, and what that represents for the rest of the world (By the way that s probably what is holding us to become who we want to be, believing that past will not let…
