Never forget the hands that raised you. For most of us there has been a special person or persons that we have been able to rely on as our rock. Unfortunately others have had it much worse. No matter the path walked, it is one of growth Either someone to look up to as a…
Take the risk! Excellent advice. Not sure about you guys, but every now and then you have to take the risk. When you choose to take the risk and it impacts your life positively. You feel a natural high, life all of a sudden has an upbeat happiness to it. You feel that things are…
Do you feed your mind with art, music, and literature? When you view galleries and museums, read poetry or great motivational speeches, attend the theater, travel, and explore your roots your spirit will stir and boost your love of life. Thus, be a culture vulture!
Does awkwardness flutter in your stomach when someone suggests you do something new? You miss positive experiences if you stick with familiarity and comfort to avoid niggling fear. Do the same things and you’ll get the same results. If you don’t like your life, stretch your boundaries and try new activities, meet different people, and expand your interests. Only then will your rut vanish. Thus, step out of your comfort zone!
People aren’t kidding when they say “life is short.” You’re only here for a while and might as well reach for the stars while you can. Consider what you want to do, but haven’t tried because you fear failure or imagine you can’t squeeze your dream into your schedule.
Learn something new to create enthusiasm and wonder. Be a student! The more you challenge your brain in fresh enjoyable ways the more inspired and motivated you’ll be. Take a course, join a class, or engage in a new hobby and watch your well-being soar. Why it is important to learn new things When you…
People who live in a rut have plenty of routines. Repeating behaviors brings comfort, but doesn’t ignite passion. If you want to feel inspired, make your habits interesting. Shake up routines and kick-start your life. Rather than buy a burger and fries when you go out, try foreign foods. Instead of watching Game of Thrones…
Would you describe your life as okay but not great? While it isn’t always meant to be a trip along the yellow brick road to joy, it should inspire you much of the time. If yours doesn’t make you glad to be alive, it’s time to swap humdrum for happy.
Friendship is so weird. You pick a random human you have never met and you are like, “This one. I want to go on adventures with this one!” Urban dictionary on friendship True friendship is not when you go to school and hang around with someone just because you have no one else to chill…
So, today’s topic revolves around human interactions. Change your approach when dealing with others. We get stuck in a daily routine. “Hi, hello. How are you?” To which the response is, “I am fine thanks, and you?” This is where I press the pause button on this automated dialect. Hogwash, nonsense and bullsh… are all words…
“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer. I could highly recommend you adopting this principle to your life. Why? Change. That’s why. Your change. This is a catalyst that will bring about positive changes to your life.
Focus on the outcome not the obstacle. All to often we reach a stumbling block and that takes our focus and energy away from achieving what we want to achieve. It takes our mind off our goal. It stops us from progressing forward towards our hearts desire.
Time heals almost everything, give time the time it needs! All to often we expect to bounce back from hardships way too quickly. We do not allow ourselves enough time to heal. Many of us are too critical and way to quick to judge, especially when we look at ourselves.
Our Primary Purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them. How wonderfully put by the Dalai Lama!
What drives you as a person? What are you passionate about? Why do we let life interfere with what makes us happy and why do we…
There is huge importance in reflecting in one’s life. Sometimes we get so caught up in the everyday, which very quickly turns into months only for another year to have passed. We loose track of time and our accomplishments. Reflecting allows us to gauge progress, our progress. Thus it is important to reflect! I once…
As humans we need a measuring stick. This measuring stick is what we use to balance our lives, or at times, beat people (joking of course!) But man, how good would it be to put someone in their place with the universal measuring stick of life.
I love this quote, “Live life as it was rigged in your favor” by Rumi. What a wonderful outlook!. Our thoughts create our intentions which then affect our lives in positive or negative ways. So let affect our lives with positive intentions.
Despite what the meme says, I won’t be budging on this one. Now I’m sure you’re thinking: Yeah, sure buddy, I’m sure it’s really hard for you when your 4k stream drops in quality to full HD for like 5 seconds. But you couldn’t be further from the truth. It drops for about 10 seconds… Obviously I’m kidding…. GET PRANKED…. I come from a third-world country where we pay for third world…
Don’t Quit! Human beings are incredibly adaptive. After all, there is a reason we’re at the top of the food chain. The saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day” seems fitting. Sometimes it’s about envisioning the result, instead of focussing on what’s being faced at present. Keep your head down, keep pushing, and never stop fighting. Just remember, nothing will ever be worth it if everything was easy.
Attention Insomniacs! Think of it this way… The benefits of not being able to sleep are: NOTHING! Sleep is the cornerstone of sanity. When we lack it, we suck… And without it, we die. But, as with any other sucky things, it’s always best to laugh at it. Because laughter is the quickest and easiest way to gain power over something. So, have a laugh, and laugh a little more. And we…
Pens cannot win battles, and swords cannot write poetry. The pen isn’t mightier than the sword. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having both tools in your arsenal, as long as you know when and how to use them. That comes with wisdom, and wisdom comes with your own experience and learning from others. When these tools are used to their full potential, they change worlds.
People will come and go. But don’t despair: the only person you’re going to have to deal with your whole life is yourself. So focus on that person first. It may seem sad, or even selfish, but the only way to grow is to get rid of those constraints. There is nothing better for you than personal progress. And in that growth, you will find yourself in the presence of newer, better…
Maybe it’s time to live.There’s no doubt that life has reached a pace that makes it really difficult to keep up. But maybe we shouldn’t try… Not saying that we should move to the hills and lock ourselves away from the world, but afford some time to REAL things. Get that book you’ve always wanted to read and spend half an hour a day doing just that. Spend just ten seconds more looking…
Life: Definition as per Google – “The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death.”
That just sounds down right boring, let’s see what Urban Dictionary has to say about Life – “The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death! What’s that, a bonus?!? I think the life cycle is all backwards.
You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you go live in an old age home. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for High School. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little boy(girl), you go back, you spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm!!”
WAHAHAHAHA! Now that’s more like it 🙂
No matter how you look at it, you are not getting out of here alive. Life is meant to be lived. Experience what you can and create! Be present in the now instead of living in the past or future.
Yes, we agree, this is stating the obvious. However, what we would like you to weigh up here is that the obvious needs to be stated every now and then. As people, we get caught up in the mundane and the cycle of repetition. As a result, some find comfort in that, this is their choice and to be respected.
It certainly takes its toll. As we rotate around the sun year after year we often wonder why? What for? Some people go on a journey to find themselves. Others choose to numb the pain or fly the high. Everything has and end to it, a stark realisation when that thought hits home!
We do have the means to change outcomes and it starts with our understanding. Those looking to mix things up, we urge you to read, grow from that. Question and then question again. If you are unhappy due to your circumstances, change it. Sometimes one needs to be brash and bold when it comes to your own life. Any excuse one makes is based on fear. Fear generally leads to stagnation in some form. Best to be at peace where it allows and expand your mind and create. Hence we state the obvious. Live your life!
