I’ve always had this odd problem with to-do lists. People tell you, “If you’re overwhelmed by your list, just get started. You’ll feel better the more you get done.” Well, I’d do that, and start…
Many people these days meditate, but how can you know you’ve had a legit meditation…
This cannot be overstated. I will say there are times and emergencies that will require more of the highest use of your time but these are the exception not the rule.
With respect to the Elon Musks, Grant Cardones, and Gary Vees of the world, I respect their willing to work hard. Hard work does pay off to a point.
Today I found out that an inspiring figure from my past; a leader who had become a believer; an inspiration who helped me more than words could…
Boredom and essentialism are two important ideas I want to explore and, where needed, apply. They…
Often we are told not to give up, to hold on and keep going no matter what, and I was one of the biggest…
THE ONLY WAY OUT OF MY SELF-IMPOSED IMPRISONMENT AND TOWARDS TRUE AUTHENTICITY IS THROUGH “DOING”
I’m a very fortunate person. I work with people I love working with. I have friends and co-workers that constantly push me to grow. I have a desire to learn, to grow, and to be better than I was yesterday. All of this is because of choices I made.
There is a lot of talk going on about evil apps stealing our time and attention. I also…
I mentioned in my weeknotes that I’ve been doing a bit of doubting.
All of a sudden, a crossroads. There I was, just going along trying to see if this new phase in my life would work out, no really difficult…
It reminded me of a post-apocalyptic science fiction movie. The unfortunate survivors roam the earth. They…
“In my next endeavour, I didn’t want to repeat my mistakes.”
I dedicated this to a project that never even saw the light of day.
A lot of the time, I find myself really struggling to be creative.
Do you live your life like a protagonist? I know I often don’t.
Invest in yourself, it has ever growing returns!
I am personally very fond of self-improvement and keep looking for things that help me become a better person than I was yesterday. When asked one thing that my friends like about me, they said that you have this attitude to learn everything…

Extroverts don’t always have more fun. OK, maybe they do. But that doesn’t mean being an introvert is all sad and boring. Here are the perks of being one.
I caught up with a friend of mine last night. He’s a dear friend. One thing he told me…
Our actions shape how we perceive the world. Although my yoga practice taught me quite a few things…
Dreaming big. Imagining the wildest opportunities and chasing them. Excitement and euphoria at the thought of…
What makes it so easy to do is what makes it so easy not to do. I’ve been journaling now for close to three years. It’s profoundly changed my life.
How accepting self-doubt is the only solution
One evening Milarepa returned to his cave after gathering firewood, only to find it filled with demons. They were cooking his food, reading his books, sleeping in his bed. They had taken over…
After 4 years of London and 4 years of Paris, I decided to try a small town in France where IT jobs…
No matter what happened to us in the past, right now we can take responsibility for…
From my experience, these aren’t fixed in stone. People change over time. The “languages” they speak are more attributed to their current mindset and worldview, which changes as people change.
I also think most people don’t fall neatly into just one or two categories. That said, it can be instructive when deciding how to…
I often come across the phrase, you can control your thoughts. I am left…
“On the inner level, perhaps nothing really attacks us except our own confusion,” Pema Chödron
We all have things we want to get better at; skills to learn and improve, projects to complete, or…
Choose your thoughts!
My learnings:
A person is what he/she thinks, their character being the complete sum of all their thoughts.
Your actions determine who you are, and your habits drive your actions. Change your habits, and you change your world.
I wake up some days with this feeling. It’s a feeling I know so well, yet I struggle to articulate exactly…
Carrying forward from the previous two parts, this one goes a little deeper still — we now focus on…
Emotions are not owned. They are experienced and shared by all. Often when they are unidentifiable or unacknowledged they can manifest in acting out anger (angry behavior). Some individuals lack the vocabulary to describe what they feel/emote. It can be a stretch for many to tell you what they feel, because they cannot discern the plethora of…
“There is perhaps no area of your life where self-discipline has a greater impact on your future than in your work”. Brian Tracy pulls no punches on Chapter 8 when he dives right into the thesis of the entire chapter in the first line. The entirety of…
When you work hard at something, you want the reward.
If you don’t get the reward, you feel hard done by.
You become a victim.
One of my biggest pet peeves is people saying “I can’t do this” before they have even started. Whatever “it” is, if you are…
Very interesting post. I’m not sure whether I should be worried or not?’
I have never eaten breakfast, I don’t believe in force feeding yourself when you’re really not hungry, especially if like me it’s a struggle to keep weight off!
For those of you who are working on your own project, we get it; you’re good at what you do.
I’m drawn to the passionate
the ill, the crazed
the souls who search in endless ways.
I seek out the sinners
the daring, the risk takers
the spirits who roam, the creators and…
Loved the Amelia Earhart quote, I’d never heard it before: The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do. There’s a lot of wisdom there. Win or lose, every new step gives us something to build on, and makes the next step less intimidating. Great reminder, thanks for sharing.
Throughout my studies in success psychology and success principles I found one to be the most…
Overcoming challenges
Working at a startup is really tough. You can’t possibly understand the madness of the daily grind unless you have ever actually…
I begin to prepare.
Mentally.
Here’s a recipe for success from a 20-year old with barely any idea of the world he’s living in:- Do stuff and really suck at it.
There’s a lot to say on this topic and I have some of the ideas so I decided I…
Failure is inevitable. It is part of growing. The only way to avoid it is to quit. The only problem with quitting…
I am feeling a little less happy today. To be honest, I felt it creeping during week and finally, tonight I had the down I was anticipating.
I am trying to achieve too much at once. When I lay everything down in a timetable or a weekly schedule it…
Nice piece.
The sad thing is that many people simply want “to be told” rather than taking their own initiatives and roughening it out there.
With sharp clear sensesAnd apt composure
Interesting article (pay wall) I fast skimmed the article.
I would also add, having a growth mindset. Many smart people succumb to poor habit building because they rely on their intelligence instead of the daily habits required to get them to where they need to go.
Humble yourself and supercharge your life with killer habits to leverage your intelligence. If you do, the sky is the limit.
I have to assume you make this statement within context of boundaries of morality. Outside of boundaries of morality, highlighted sentences are dangerous.
The digital world pulls into itself as systems get easier and less user involved. A clap is the minimum amount of interaction anyone could give a story (short of no interaction at all).
BITD bloggers used all kinds of devices to get visitors to comment on their stories. You would up getting a lot of comments that were “great…
Well put.
This is exactly why I can’t possibly orient myself towards a party. Having 'sides' only distracts from finding the deeper, granular, more intricate truths about what is *truly* causing our universally shared problems. Red and Blue thinking is just as binary as Black and White thinking, and it keeps us in a…
What are rewards for voting compared to time in coop Go? Tokens of compensation for frustration? Bounty for transpersonal satisfaction?
So true.
Integrity builds trust. If your looking to succeed in business or do anything that requires other people, developing trust is required. You can’t do that effectively if you’re not a person of integrity.
Thank you, Caroline :)
Self-forgiveness really is important. The more you hold on to your past mistakes, the harder it is to move forwards and achieve anything. It took me a long time to accept that.
There is a normal cycle that should be followed in communications. It’s pretty straightforward and simple, but stop and think about it after you’ve read it. Give some serious thought about whether you follow the communication cycle and whether other people that…
Dreaming is one of the most mysterious, eye-opening, bewildering, interesting, entertaining and sometimes disturbing and…
I’m sure you heard the saying, “when God closes a door, He opens a window”. I wasn’t sure what that meant. I just figured it would be another door that would open. I’ve knocked so many times on doors, my knuckles have bled. I’m going to let my joints heal before I venture out to see…
The concept of trial by fire, alchemy, turning lead into gold, and choosing the harder path because of the reward it brings is an old one. Taking risks is a difficult path to understand and a difficult path to walk. Who wants to believe that “no pain, no gain” approach applies equally to spiritual life…

I can’t figure out how to upload content it’s a mystery.
I am frustrated because I want to share right away
I am time limited because I’m doing the podora method.
This is the first point to understand about chaos theory. There is a place for everything. All viewpoints and all beliefs are valid and must be treated as such. Conflicting beliefs and data do not really conflict, they only seem to.
Listen to the words of the God and Goddess. Whenever you need anything, once a month and better when the moon is full, assemble in a secret place and call upon us, the guiding spirits of the human race, male and female. We shall answer your deepest questions and help with your…
Very nice, I was just scrolling through posts in the Psychology tag and am glad I stumbled upon yours! I think you might have convinced me to check out Habitica ;) Hopefully that will also help me keep track of my habits, something I’m not very good at yet…

I am tired. Are you tired? Of course, you are tired; we are all tired. Well, maybe not Gwyneth Paltrow, but screw her. While I sincerely believe humans are all tired, I believe mothers are indisputably the most exhausted creatures on the planet. Yea yea, fathers work hard, but seriously how…

Since I’ve been on a heavy cleaning tip lately, I figured I share my latest experience. If you recall, Mark Manson’s ‘do something’ principle is the idea that it is actually action that incites motivation and inspiration, not the other way around:
Valid references, valid points. Valuable read, across the boards. Very clear and precise. That’s what I love about your writing.
Organic Gnosticism is a revolutionary force and has often been persecuted by rational atheists and by social enforcers. Eternal vigilance is the price of organic freedom! We all have a right to a modest living, even though some may have more. Work and labor are the lawful ways to get what we…
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
We live in a world that spreads gossip. Negative chatter that resonates from televisions, radios, news media, magazines, social media, and worst of all, people.
A positive affecting affirmation to help yourself:
"Life is better and much more beneficial when refraining from regretting and complaining while focusing my energy on gaining and attaining. Life is much more beneficial when focusing effort and time…
You can either dwell in a never-ending stream of complaints, negativity and self-hate, or you can try to do something the fuck about it. If you hate yourself so much — if you hate life so fucking much — use that hatred as a source of fuel to CHANGE. IT. You sit there and type mindless negative statements into search engines, searching for… what the…
Very informative article. Thank you!
