A few months back, I reflected on my time out of Eden. I now know what it’ll take to get back in. Here’s the roadmap.
Discomfort is Life’s Greatest Teacher
If you want to grow as a person. Sit in quiet for a couple of hours. You’ll grow. Why? It takes you out of your comfort zone. You will see no growth in doing the things you’ve always been doing. You will most likely become a narcissist or bored before becoming enlightened. It’s okay to […]
Why Do Some People Fear Intimacy?
I may have a fear of intimacy. I would probably need a shrink to tell me that before I actually believe it. Fear of intimacy is a subconscious aversion to closeness that affects personal relationships. This type of fear can be presented physically and emotionally. Some people don’t want to be touched, others don’t want […]
The Reasons Why You Should Never Stop Learning
You probably already read my blog about how the education system is not that good. Another thing that I don’t like about school is that it’s been marketed to us that we can’t learn without it. You can go to school, but once school is over, you’re somehow finished with learning. The truth is, you […]
It’s Okay to Not Be Well-Liked By Everyone
There’s a misconception that we should be liked by everyone we come across. The issue with this line of thinking is that everyone is different, so being well-liked by everyone is impossible task. We still try by pandering to one another, laughing at jokes when they aren’t funny, and agreeing to one’s opinion when you […]
Most People Stay Busy So They Can Stay Happy
There are many things that differentiate the human from the animal. One of those things is the need to stay busy. Plenty of animals would be happy doing absolutely nothing, knowing that they have love, shelter and food, of course. They have no problem spending the rest of their days doing nothing. Don’t believe me? […]
Playing it Safe Isn’t Doing You Any Favors
Whenever you have a new idea or want to try something new, you’re going to get a little inkling. An inkling that will tell you not to do it. That hit of anxiety tells you that you shouldn’t take the risk because of all the “what ifs.” Our fight-or-flight brain doesn’t realize that there’s a […]
Your Reality is Just Your Perception of Reality
A couple weeks ago, I posted “Do you believe everything you think?” People probably saw that ominous quote and were like… wtf? This blog post is about perception. I feel I need to write about this because we hear it all the time, “Perception is reality.” I remember teachers telling me not to be myself […]
School Doesn’t Prepare You for Life
I’ve gone through the public school system up to getting my Master’s degree. The biggest regret while going to school is thinking that it would prepare me for the practical issues that life brings. The more that I learn about life outside of school, the more I know that I won’t make the same mistake […]
How to Deal with an Egocentric Person
There is so much division in the world. The division doesn’t really come from differences because we’re going through our own struggles to celebrate differences. No, this division comes from people who have the inability to understand that another person’s point of view is different than their own. Without asking, this person assumes that they […]
What it Means to be Accountable
Sometimes we don’t get to the success that we want to reach because we are not accountable for the failures, or lack of action along the way. Accountability simply means to be responsible for your actions especially in the need to report to someone else when called upon. Someone who is accountable for the actions […]
