Today, flying is commonplace. It no longer creates a sense of wonder or awe.
Shit will happen. It’ll happen to you, the ones you love, and even those you don’t care that much about. It happens to everyone. Nobody wants it to happen to them but it does. You can either live your life constantly thinking about the shit that’s happened to you and the shit that’s going to happen…
The very first time I had an anxiety attack, I didn’t know what was happening. It was early morning, my newborn daughter had just woken up crying, I knew I had deadlines demanding attention in the office, I’d had no sleep (having lain…

It’s another Sunday night and I’m cozy on my couch, wearing sweatpants I put on…
You know? I can almost be okay with your very biased explanations of each love language, simply because you’re a human being with the right to interpret these categories in whatever way you see fit. However, I take great offense to some of your judgmental blanket categorizations. Because the love languages aren’t just about romantic love. They are…

Want to design your life to make it happier?
What I have learned is that there are different types of respect.
Sometimes its really weird how i behave to certain situations. Does it happen with you also? I mean sometimes i loose my calm to the most expected outcome and on the other hand i stay calm and composed to sudden and unexpected circumstances. That is how actually our brain works.
When I was 10 years old, I got an opportunity to watch the documentary film The…
Last week, I sat on a plane headed home to Salt Lake City. In the quick, 45-minute…
Small talks are the most awkward conversations when it comes to socializing. It is the need of the time to connect with different people on several occasions. Our society stands still on these connections and bonds. Humans are surrounded by each other all the time and…
We all deserve a break from time to time but it’s up to the individual to know when to take one. I recently decided to take a social media detox after finding myself spending so much time online. I challenged myself to go without social media for 30 days. Not a big deal —…
The more I get involved in my podcast, the more I’m getting ask about my future plans. People want to know where I’m going with this.
Is it a good idea? Yes.
A little over a year ago I went through a tough break-up. In my grief, I wanted to be angry, I…

I can’t put my finger on the exact time the change started within me. Let’s say it began circa August 2016, about 14 months ago…..5 months before I turned 30.
Living the life of your dreams requires well-balanced ideas and realistic implementation of those ideas. It requires planning from an early age so that you don’t lag behind in your ambitions and organize your hard work into the free hour’s everyone else is enjoying.

My Biggest Regret in Life is not thinking about what I really wanted early enough.

What I Learned from Five Years Working (I think It is Part One)
Self-love is about nurturing a positive self-image. A person with a low self-worth can hardly execute her plans. Self-love should not be a manufactured and artificial feeling contrived with difficulty. It should be born out of a strong conviction about one’s abilities. Nobody will love us if we cannot love ourselves with conviction. It is not merely…
This is so true. You need less money than you think. It’s amazing the storms you can weather or the accomplishments you can achieve if you learned how to do more with less.

What is your next level of Extraordinary?
Oh, the things we do to lie to ourselves. Some people shop and horde. Other people focus on the past instead of the present.
You owe it to yourself to be honest with who you are, where you want to be, and what you need in order to get there.
Start with why, and then move on from there.
I think your premise is right, Jonathan, I do think we are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with. I am still not sure if this idea refers to the mean, median or mode but on its face the idea is solid.
This line from your article:
“It stresses that you need to take control of how…
There are two kinds of managing personalities in business. One is leading her peers into greatness and the other one is limiting them to make sure they don’t Get too great, because they could get greater than her.

The trick then is the raise the mean. Research supports the idea you can raise your happiness set point.
Beyond that, the biggest bang for your buck comes from changing your philosophy and mindset. Take the advice of Thich Nhat Hanh

Well, I am sorry to say, you were on track to something profound until your closing paragraph.
First, worth, particularly human worth, is not something subjectively weighted — I realize you’re using this term loosely, more in terms of personal preference and personal compatibility, but how many will make that distinction…
God Vs. DevilGood Vs. Evil
Despite being just 27 years old, I’ve experienced many challenges and setbacks in my life. When I was just 7 years old, I was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. I typically don’t make a habit of letting this be…
Similar to the harsh-sounding premises in the 4 and 5 Agreements books by Don Miguel Ruiz. The societal value we award interactions and relationships often dictates that we need to pay attention to others even while they are hurting us.
Yuck.
I made the change a few months ago myself. For me, I wanted two hours of focused productive time to focus on my daily “one thing” that pushes me to where I want to go.
My motivation, energy, and mental clarity are drained. Plus, I don’t have to worry about putting out fires or something unexpected.
Oh dear god, for the love of perfect moments of simple grace and unearned yet somehow miraculously obtained profundity that defies any necessity…
We all mess up things sometimes, right? We all make some decisions which are not at all worth it, we fail into something, we make mistakes, and we are not able to complete our tasks sometimes or probably not even close. There are always a lot of…
It certainly is Roy and not easy to get to but worthwhile.
Being one’s true self is really a challenge as conformism runs deep and high in our society. The resistance of even the strongest is broken when their non-conformism blocks their daily money-making. When one conforms to something it doesn’t believe in, he or she is going against his…

Duygularımız, bizi biz yapan en büyük yanlarımızdan biridir. Öyleyse kendi duygularımızdan, bizi biz yapan bir parçadan neden korkuyoruz?
This idea of reality set before us that humans label as real. What is real? How do you define real? The realization of belief or faith makes things or reality real. Too many ‘reals’…

Yes, this is a great truth Marcin.

This is called a social cue. In real life, they dictate our next move. … They come packaged in facial expression, body language, and tone of voice.
In addition to our “next move”, they can inform the choices we make for our first move.
Is it strange that I always find it so interesting, perplexing, and fascinating that someone can relate to something I write? I always have been told in person I am quite… special, you could say. So I think of my experiences as singular and alone in my life. But, I love connecting with others through my writing so that’s a certain sort of exciting…
"...Most people spend so much energy worrying about the interior...curtains, furniture, appliances.”
When the bar feels like you are lifting the world.
When the last mile is the longest.
When you feel completely exhausted.
In that self-belief moment, there’s that power to open up. Feeling worthy of all. An empower moment that shall take it to that special value.
A self-conscious mind can take that courage into that self-belief moment. In that powered mind, there’s…

The journey to being world class begins. The journey to earn the title of “top 1 percent tech talent in Africa”. It has being every bit as challenging as they promised it would, right from the very first second.

Always take the advice of your physician. If you have special needs that your doctor requires, i.e., diabetes, etc, follow your doctors advice.
I do agree you should eat a balanced diet, so you get all the nutrients you need. That said, if you’re only issue is metabolism (and it sounds like based on your feedback it’s not)…
Very good point Joe, I agree entirely. Thanks for the note.
Well, that’s a million dollar question and has not been answered on internet by many people, but at the same time its quite contemporary question among the people from Law of…
Everyone wants to change — get better, be happier, make more money — but it’s just talk.
Change grows out of gratitude for what we already have.
To turn words into action, try this.
Nice one Emmanuel, as always glad you enjoyed it and found it useful. Thanks for taking the time to leave a note.
Hi Jeremy, I’ve done a couple of times and it is good. Not so easy with family but doable. Thanks for the note.
My space is too cluttered.
Both physically and mentally, there is too much stuff floating around, and it is a serious impediment. I’ve gone long enough without admitting this; the denial has been real, folks.
Love is his art, his weapon is his heart.
He was the Master of his pain that never been plain.
He’s a fighter! Much more wiser, tougher and stronger than any other.

I agree Nick, it’s no fun being in a job you hate. We’ve all been there. Thanks for the note.
No worries Vitaly, for me it can be a bit dry but it’s useful.
Interestingly, I have been thinking about this concept today but the word I was using was customization. How much of what we purchase now is customized for us instead of being unique.
Your friend’s business is unique or at least unique enough that people seek him out for help.
Hi Sandro, that is a food way to look at it. Am sure you’ve had a colourful life as a result. Thanks for the note.
You’re in good company when you ask this question. If I glance to the right side of my screen, it’s full of similar questions.
BEING SATISFIED WITH YOUR PORTION DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE SETTLING!
One flaw of humanity is that we are designed, conditioned and, influenced to focus on what we LACK and not what we have in ABUNDANCE. This specific design causes more turmoil than we realize. Cluttering our minds and (emotions) for that matter with what is not…

I think maybe optimum is in the eye of the beholder. I guess I started thinking about this in my managerial accounting course. It was the first time I had seen a curve function which was intersected by a straight line function to delineate the max profit from a production run.

Yes, sometimes mind over matter can win. But the mind is not a magician. We’re living in a physical world. And if the matter cannot move because it doesn’t have energy, no mind can force it to…
