Smartness has nothing to do with it. I’ve seen the smartest and most rational people end up thinking and believing the most irrational, imaginary fears and jumping to the most mind-blowing and stupid conclusions. They are not stupid. They are traumatized. I’ve observed many scientists who are highly successful in their careers, holding positions that require them to examine hypotheses from all possible perspectives and exhaust any confounding factors until they derive undeniable evidence bef...

When you embrace this mindset, you realize that the concept of a new year is an inferior construct. You don’t need magical thinking to change and grow, nor do you rely on numbers to track and be mindful of your journey. For you, fireworks ignite in your mind and soul all year round.🎆💚

an orange background with the words, what a paradox and tragic irony that the fulfillment and content we so desperately seek outward but never seems to fill our cup

Relying on the physical eyes is easy, but self-actualization cannot be achieved by merely relying on our physical senses. Self-actualization requires empathy and awareness. The physical eyes serve our survival by helping us be aware of our surroundings and guiding us to the physical world.

Just believing what appears in front of us is ...

Injustices In The World

Preserve your inner light and support others as much as you can. Do whatever is within your control to fight injustice and extend empathy to everyone around you. There will always be injustice in the world, and we need to accept this as a fact to have the hope and energy to do our part. 💚

the most important skill in the 21st century is the ability to live happily with uncertainity

You might want to take a few extra minutes on this one and read the following I wrote for you this evening.👇 I don’t think you’ll regret it. 😊 There are two ways to respond to the fear of uncertainty: 1. By trying to make everything that scares you as certain as possible, which can open the door to OCD and lead to a very miserable, fearful life. 2. By accepting the undeniable truth that no matter how much you try to convince yourself that more control is the solution to your fear of uncert...

Meditation

Simply put, meditation is created for people who struggle with staying still and focusing solely on their breath.

The Ego

Consciousness

Nature

The ego is stubborn by nature and refuses to die. Of course, its intensity differs significantly according to each person’s condition. However, even for those who have freed themselves from it, the ego can resurface if left unattended. Being cocky about your awareness is the weapon the ego uses to sabotage and reverse your consciousness. We must actively and ceaselessly cultivate empathy, introspection, and existential reflection to keep our psyche, as much as possible, unburdened by the eg...

Some people spend so much time contemplating an idea that they never take action to bring it to life. They try to taste the fruit 🍎 before planting the seed 🌱, imagining it as tasteless, sour, or just sweet enough. If it seems tasteless, they're afraid of wasting effort. 😟 If it's too sour, they see no point in trying. 😣 And if it's too sweet, they settle for the pleasure that exists only in their imagination. 💭🍭 In the end, they're trapped in their minds, over-relying on thoughts and ...
