Why You Need to Make a Choice Now!

Image
It is easier to live a life of indulgence and obligement. Many of us would sooner take the course with the current of the river rather than sit down to think and make actual decisions about our life. This is not to say that we do not make decisions, but often enough, we find a lot of our friends and acquaintances living the life that other people have chosen for them, or at best a life that they have imitated from other people and their actions. To those who procrastinate and protract, you need to make a decision right now and I am going to explain to you why! We are, all of us, natural procrastinators. By this statement I do not merely want to claim that we procrastinate doing the things we hate; chores and tasks that are not in our best interest or we cannot bring ourselves to really enjoy. No, the truth is that we are procrastinators of thought and progress. We rarely give ourselves a chance to reflect on our future or our current state. We do not want to think about how we are doin...

What is Your Mission? The Difference Between Ambition and Mission...

Image
It is a rather peculiar conversation when we sit down to talk about the purpose of human beings on this world and what they should do with their lives. If you go to your old man, he has a certain opinion of what you should do with the time given to you. If you go to your mathematics master, he will give his unbridled opinions about where science triumphs. If you go to a politician, he will talk about his higher vision for society and the future of your country. The point is that aspirations range from small to big, significant to insignificant, ambitious to modest, and etc. Do you already know what your purpose is? It is important to have a purpose. I cannot state this fact enough; we all need something that gives us meaning. It can be literally anything. I have even met people whose purpose were dedicating themselves to another human being. What matters is that you need a purpose. You need not ambitions, but a mission that colors you in a different light than the people around you. Yo...

Choose a Day and Take a Break from the Internet… the Result Will Amaze You!

The one word that would properly define the post-modern human society is ‘drenched.’ We are drenched with storms and floods of an interconnected world in which sharing has lost its true value. Most of the young population nowadays suffer from identity crisis, because they do not know who they are and what they want from life. The reason for this is out our society is drenched. Our daily hours are preoccupied by the many distractions of the postmodern world that require our attention and focus. Namely, the internet has been the main source of distraction for a long time now. img src There is one story that has always baffled me. The famous and acclaimed director, Christopher Nolan, once stated in an interview that he doesn’t own a cellphone and has never used email before. When explaining why, he simply said: ‘I actually really like not having one because it gives me time to think. You know, when you have a smartphone and you have 10 minutes to spare, you go on it and you start looking ...

How to Save Your Relationships by Embracing a Sense of Pessimism...

Image
Pessimism? How is that even possible? You may be wondering if you read that title correctly. Well, you did. In this article, we are going to talk about our relationships, especially romantic acquaintances and how they are important in shaping our future. Our idea of how romantic relationships should be is an important aspect of our adult life. How well we understand our romantic side is an important determining factor of how well we do in our social life. There is a wrong idea in our culture that embraces the romantic fantasy of finding the ‘one’ true love that is a perfect match for you. A person who is a hundred percent compatible with your personality, thoughts, and ideals. Our society, especially our culture, desperately struggles to prove that there is a such a person for everyone in this world, and if we look carefully enough or tolerate the length of the journey, we are eventually going to find that person. This obviously leads to a problematic way of thinking which will inevita...

The Two Qualities That Define and Embody Attractiveness....

Image
Charm and appeal are important when it comes to finding your foot in society and succeed in a profession of your choosing. Desirability is not a rare trait, but it is a difficult one to attain. Even more so to keep. But if you understand the nature of what makes something attractive, you will manipulate this human sensation to your advantage. This is especially helpful for young and aspiring entrepreneurs, as there is a lot of convincing involved in their line of work. img src When it comes to making decisions, appeal is important. When something has charm, we often find ourselves less and less second-guessing our decisions and go through with what is in our mind. Because that charm has a grip on our mind and it forces us to ignore other logical standpoints that would oppose what it wants from us. The cliched example of this would be an attractive person who steals your heart and you shut down the doors of your mind to all the other possible aspects of their personality that you may no...

Gratefulness is Underrated and Here is Why!!!

Image
A lot of people strip their lives of the conscious ‘choice’ to be happy and feel gratefulness for small or great things that they have. Gratefulness is the greatest ability one can master in this limited lifetime, but it is often underrated and not talked about enough. Not nearly enough. Most people even find it offensive when other people advise them to seek tranquility under the wings of appreciation for the life that they are already living. By contentment with everything they have, and with the knowledge that a bright future awaits those who have the courage to reach out for it. A little bit of appreciation can go a long way, apparently. \ Our lives are so intermingled with madness and chaos that we rarely find time or energy to appreciate the small everyday ordinary deeds or occurrences that we would otherwise, in an ideal life, savor. Our negligence towards cherishing the little smile that our friend gave us, the way a rainy day made us feel delight and emptiness at the same time...
