There is no denying the fact that there is something that separates successful people from the rest of the crowd. They possess certain innate qualities that others just don’t have and these qualities help them stand out of the crowd. Though we can produce a…

There’s something else that’s going on here. While there may be minor discomfort immediately after your alarm goes off, many people have no reason to wake up.

Excellent point. I would add the word “deliberate” in front of practice, but I wholeheartedly agree!
Judging others is very easy as all you need to do is observe their activities and comment on them. This has a lot to do with a person’s mindset where he or she feels that it is imperative to pass judgment on others and the voice inside their head reminds them of all the things…

Let me introduce you to a new word that I have come to appreciate.
It’s “overcare”.
I now know that I am capable of experiencing overcare quite easily in many areas in my life. Here’s a perfect example of overcare:
Every day during my trips I’m learning that I am good enough. Free enough to live like I…

Maybe the entrepreneurs and executives do not FOCUS on generating money. But I think at least they focus on stuff/doing stuff that WILL generate money eventually. I can’t imagine Jobs, Gates, or Bezos didn’t at least thought about the money they’d generate when they first started their business.
At one day, several years ago. I just feels enough live surround the peoples that always thinking money, judging by money, and valuing everything with money; more valuing than himself, others, and evrything in this earth.
When I initially thought about writing this post, I wanted it to include all of…
It happens in our everyday lives, that we forget reacting and acting tactfully to problems, and complicate them even further. No matter how much we want that issue/ problem in hand to end and bring peace to us, we fail to turn the tables around…

It is amazing how mathematics ( the King or Queen of Science )can help organize our lives. Even if we write a tome full of tips to improve decision making, people will find it hard to digest them and implement them in their lives. A simple formula helps the brain to analytically and rationally do a due diligence before committing to a decision.
“You pause and allow there to be a gap in whatever you’re doing.”
Looking for patterns to succeed and to improve well being is essentially about continual learning. There is no time fame for learning. Unlocking the patterns is a perpetual journey where we may have to pause and take detours when new knowledge dawns on us. A child- like curiosity serves us better than success formulas peddled by books. ‘Math’ doesn’t…

Indeed youth is the most precious gift by nature. It is that age, that period when you are the most energetic and filled with vigor. Neither a child born has the same amount of energy nor does the person in old age. Youth is exactly a time when a person has everything they ever want. A…

Great story! Definitely the life you want is achieved by going your way, doing your thing in a silent effort while everyone else is doing what they are supposed to.
Tom Kuegler your candidness is fresh, fun, and reassuring.
I agree. Everyone sucks in the beginning, and those who wind up doing well tend to suck the most.
In other words, winners fail more than losers. As you said, preservance separates those who succeed from those who don’t -- not mistakes.
Great Sonali, glad it resonated with you. You are definitely not alone. Good luck on your journey.
Dear Beautiful Being,
Where are you giving away energy UNNECESSARILY?
Is it in getting worked up?
Is it in over thinking?
As the quote goes, “you become what you think about most of the time.”
It seems like they told me, to be strong, i need to draw on my positive energies. Is the fact that i attempt to draw on my positive energies a ‘negative’ one since it’s not innately positive?
Moreover, it seems like it is easy to veer to the side which you can believe that you…
Nobody will help us find the meaning and purpose of our lives. We have to introspect and find them for ourselves because individuals have their own desires, passions, inclinations, aptitudes and abilities.

This can’t be stressed enough.

Very true Krispian, you hit the nail on the head. It would be nice to buck this trend. Cheers for the note.

While I do believe you should give every effort to make a high quality, lovable product, I respectfully disagree with the sentiment you only get one chance to make a good impression.
It is true first impressions are important, and they likely have an outsized effect on people’s impressions of you and your product. But that…

Sometimes you underestimate yourself, you think you’re not capable of doing something. Of course, nobody is perfect. Some people say that you can do something because you try to do it over and over again. I, myself believe that you can do something because you dare to do it. Actually, if you judge people based on something that they cannot do, you…
Millennial Money: How Young Investors Can Build a Fortune

Revenge! Yes, I sometimes have dreams about it, but I never act on it. It’s just not what I was born for. I prefer to focus my energy on those who love me, rather than punishing those who don’t.

Lofty thoughts are nice, but what happens when you have to walk in the mud? Reality is not idealistic! When people act like animals they must be controlled. Does any of this strike a chord? Have you noticed any people acting like animals these days?
The world of dreams and our awareness within it is a paradox when compared to our awareness within the capacitive physical world. To begin with our dream world is not individual but collective. It is not internal to us but external to us. Others are active within our dream world even as we are active…
