I don’t even know where to begin so pardon my jumbled thoughts. Tonight was an answer to my prayers. Ha! Prayers nothing. Try begging and pleading…

This morning I finally finished working on something that I told myself I’d do way back in February, which was writing an article about how to learn.

A few minutes ago, I was having a conversation with my mom about a minor remark made by our close relative and how it’s affecting us. Having heard this many times, it hit me - the fact that we’re taught to live for others-not in the sense of being selfless, but, in the sense of living up…
It is an extremely challenging task to compress life’s wisdom into…
I have become extremely skeptical if not outright cynical of quick fix or you can have everything perfectly resolved in your life and live in paradise solutions. I’ve just had way too many of those types of promises from too many areas to really believe in them, and I’m not really sure…
The best mindset lesson I’ve learned: If you know a desirable future state of mind, there is nothing stopping you from adopting it now. In other words, if you know how you will think about an issue in the future, you might as well think that way now.
Men, it has been well said, think in…
The world is dominated by power law distributions. There’s plenty of empirical evidence for this like Zipf’s law and Benford’s law.
And this is what most people try to ignore owning. Seth Godin in one of his talks explain this very well, Once when a flight made an emergency landing in an airport different from its actual destination, he books a car and asks fellow passengers who wants to travel with him (which is free since he’s…
Don’t give up on your search for wonder. While it’s true that most of life is made up of the “primary colors”, there are transcendent experiences out there that touch and transform that deepest part of the soul. And yes, you’re right, they are hard to find. But sometimes they find you.

Always have to expect more then we are already accomplishing so growth can become reality
Una verdad latente. Inicio pensando qué me trajo hasta acá, hacia este tiempo -alguna vez distante- de vivencias, de nada escrito, de nada aclarado, de nada dicho. Pienso y no hay salida. Divago.
