There is no link between how much you sacrifice & tolerate pain and how much success & money you will have in life.

My coding story. My story starts at the beach. My story starts with a friend. My story starts with a chat. My story was not planned.
If you want to increase your distance, here’s a tip. Get lost. Literally.
Some people may have been in a situation to choose between something. When we face such a situation to choose, we might think of the consequences, right? Or maybe some people just do it anyway, without thinking too much. Or maybe just let it go. Or.. doing nothing.

Are you using your time wisely? Or are you just “coasting” through your life?
I have cried many tears.
Did you know tears could tell a story that words can’t?
My tears tell a story.
Most of the things we want in life are easier said than done. That’s why we’ll probably never get them. Because it’s easier and a lot more convenient to just keep saying “it’s easier said than done” instead of just putting in the work and really doing those things…
I tried to give you 100 claps but it stopped me at 50. I’ve been to prison twice myself. Neither time adds up to a 1/4 of what you pulled.

Close friends of mine would know I stopped believing in Jesus or the idea of worshipping a single entity to dictate the way we live. Heck, you’d know I can be pretty flippant as I make fun of religion too.

Hi Jenee, Could you be an Empath? What you describe certainly sounds like it. I relate to being Autistic because I lived an extremely internal life. I’m a retired educator and like you I have done a lot of research. I am self-diagnosed as borderline Autistic and definitely diagnosed as an Empath. I always understood that being autistic was being less…

I find myself having a doubting and/or questioning mind.
Conceivably, these two minds are quite similar.
But of course there are a few slight differences, which I want to speak about today.

It’s based on you, not them.
Thank you Kris for coming and stating that. Many people try to explain love without say this.
More good scholarship on love is and the psychology of it. I am still for real. Make an online class somehow and I am down to sign up! 💜 🙃
Love, love, love this! Making the decision to be vulnerable publicly is difficult and something I struggle with. However, knowing that doing so can possibly elevate and transform someones life is something you can’t ignore.

Have you ever just had a wild thought and wondered where that even come from? Sometimes our brain can have a mind of its own.

From Edhi sabs life the most effective quote for me is

I agree as far as you go. But, I believe that you also need people that support you. Friends, family and communities will help you, and cheer you along.
Yes, you are responsible and life isn’t fair, but sometimes it is responsible to ask for help and reward it in the future.

Hi Aytekin Tank — thanks for sharing these insights. Although it is indeed not easy to ask for negative feedback, it is utterly important to do so.

A Meme’ as you call them that has survived the test of time probably has some redeeming value.

True. I have been reading a lot about making conversations. Focused attention is something I had read about, but the way you put it is really nice. It is highly necessary to “focus” on a person while making a conversation. Something that I think you missed is what one can do after the conversation is over. E.g., follow up about what you talked about…
What is khudi? Khudi means your believe in you and your self-esteem As Alama Muhammad Iqbal said that “Keep your khudi high enough that Allah Almighty will ask your will before his taqdeer”.
Posting so soon again wasn’t part of my plan, however this is part of why I wanted to start over with a blog, so that when inspiration strikes, all I have to do is type and there’s a place ready and waiting for me to put it out into the universe. If people read it, that’s just a bonus, to be honest.
Khudi always play main role in someones progress.It play key role to get a success in someones passion because if someone have no self belief then he can’t reach to his achievements .When i got low marks in Ecat my family was very upset.But due to khudi I never loose my hope .I always…
This is a great debut post Mia. Introverts are without doubt misunderstood. Your content here is unique, informative and well structured.
I particularly loved your line on introverts speaking up only when they have something valuable to say.
Ok. The title is weird; its a mix of a favourite life lesson moment from M*A*S*H; and a question that a few friends (including Georgia and Sonny) have asked me.
They asked me what type of Girl do I like? And in all honesty I’m fairly eclectic, I like a lot…
You know the dreaded, ‘yes, but?’

The truth is I've always been a quite person i don’t like talking about my feelings or self centered person i just don’t like attention or giving opinions which is crazy cause i’m a part of a generation where every voice matters doesn't it?.
I can see that, Stephie Neuman. Good food for thought.
Another thought:
Without expecting our friends to completely conform to doing and saying things as we want them too (disappointment in life and relationships usually comes from unrealistic or exaggerated expectations), I agree that best practices…
Mukkove,
I like the spiritual armour analogy — I see it as a spiritual battle too. A big fight brewing. But my friend in my group was turned away from the image so the Holy Spirit gave me the image of the wedding gown — to help her know she is covered by Christ.
Have you read Peretti’s novels?

Matthew 22:39b reads, “ Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Is it just me or is that a pretty tall standard to have to compare yourself to? When Christ talks about our neighbor here and in other areas of the Bible, He isn’t referring to the people we simply live next to. He is talking about those…
Very inspiring, Prakhar Verma! So much wisdom here!
In life you may not get what you want. But you shouldn’t complain about the things you get, sometimes they’re just a way to get to the thing you want most, or other times they just prove more useful and valuable to you. You cannot always be a chooser, but you can learn to compromise…
Thanks for the mention Lindsay!
I believe that we are the accumulation of the advice we receive throughout life. I am grateful for all the teachers, mentors and peers I have in life for their invaluable advice. And perhaps we can all share a piece to turnaround others day from “okay to great”.
Kris,
I really understand this. It happened to me. I forgot about living — and painting. I through myself into writing, into Medium, into promoting the posts — but I forgot to live.
After a 7 day fast from social media I think I might have learned some lessons. Still thinking and praying about it.
True Self
I cannot hide my true self For my true self is who I am For who I am is my true self.
Why must I destroy myself? But bleach my body Destroying my skin Killing of my true self.
Or Go Home.
You’re going to screw up, you’re going to make a mistake, things are not going to go your way and you’re going to fail.

Why either - or? Life can be both at different times. Sometimes even simultaneously. It is crucial in my experience to know when to let go of the reigns and actually enjoy the ride for a while. Life/ the Universe/ my fellow human beings can’t surprise me when I stubbornly follow only my own ideas.
It takes both skills to dance properly with life: Being a Leader and being a Follower.
I agree, partly. Usefulness/contribution is one component of happiness. Also, time spent alone; time spent in pleasurable, selfish pursuits; and time spent on maintaining one’s own health and sanity are also essential. I suppose that one could argue that these are also “useful” pursuits.
Sarah,
It’s called Theodidakto (can’t remember if I spelled this correctly) — but it means “God taught”.
And yes we can learn and grow through His Word.

Daniel,
