Two years ago, I visited San Francisco alone for the first time. I fell in love with the potpurri of colors, old and new, pastel and brilliant. I knew this had to be place for me.
I decided to resign my first job, about 1 year in to my career, when I was 23 and resigned when I was 24. Many people asked me how I got the ‘courage’ to let go of 1 of the main addictions of human kind (monthly pay checks). I always gave a very honest answer. I had absolutely no clue…
And why they are right.

Another 365 days have passed and in that time I have experienced new things, grown as a man and quite frankly, surprised myself. Surprised at how I’ve dealt with certain situations. Surprised by what life has thrown at me and what has come from the results.
No, But It Sure Feels Like It.
Upon turning 30 in June, I took an opportunity to write a letter to my future self on what I set out to accomplish this decade. What are your goals? What are your future hopes and dreams? With so much change and uncertainty, we must know ourselves so we can best know how to…

Many people die still carrying their childhood’s baggage. My mother did. So did my grandmother. And, I, well, I almost did as well. I was lucky, though. I learned a valuable lesson: that I could turn my wounds into power.
When you look into the mirror, what do you see?
My gypsy soul hasn’t been able to quiet down for some time now. I feel as if I am in constant motion but going no where. Then there are times I feel as if I should be in motion but I’m not. Sometimes I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach, as if I’m on a plane taking off. My body…

There’s a difference between being happy and not being sad

Thank you for this wise and beautiful reminder. Sadly, many think it is only our actions and our speech that affect our lives and the world. (Even more sadly, most don’t even think this.)
I have felt the effects of positive and negative self talk in waves, opening and closing “doors,” creating feelings of light and of…
I know I am fine alone, I really am. Or at least I am already used to the feeling of being so. I started feeling that it is fine with doing things myself. Heading out to run errands, taking long bus rides with my earpieces plugged in or finding a corner in a quaint coffee-shop to read my books.
I know everything there is to know about happiness because I’m depressed as fuck. Okay, okay… I’m not depressed as fuck (clinically). I’m just unhappy. Sometimes. More often than not, it seems. (“Frustrated”…

In some countries there are some differences:
“If I die tomorrow, I’ll be at peace believing I made something of the time that I had here.”
This is the only thing that truly matters. If you can honestly say, “If I died today, I’d die happy”, then your life has been a success up to this point. The important question is not “Could I have done more?”… almost everybody…

Adaptability can be defined as the ability to adjust oneself readily to different conditions. The best example of adaptability can be depicted from a chameleon whose survival is greatly affected by its adaptability.
Maarten van DoornOne thing I noticed about is the way you break down the article. I have to say it is beautifully done with the right balance and space for readers to read, but also the good content in between to attract and stay in sync with the audiences.

You are wrong. No other way to say it. You’re dead wrong. You’re mixing up different things and different studies. Perhaps you’re referring to the Bureau of Justice Statistics report from 2014 that reported significantly different results than previous studies. But the BJS report stated up front:
BEING!
How do we know what we are capable of if we don’t allow ourselves just Be?
How do you know what you are doing right or wrong if you do not listen to that voice inside?
What is in your best interest asides what you were told by your parents and what you see everyone…
