It is so very easy to get stuck in a malfunctioning productivity mindset, one leading you down a dark path toward burning yourself out. Listen, it is okay to do nothing, being productive is fine, but remember for which reason you want to be productive to begin with. Is it to be busy for busy's … Continue reading It is okay to do nothing

To Have A Goal
It seems to me that having a goal is really quite important. To give meaning to the passing of time, to not merely be living, but to be living for something. Naturally not all goals are the same, some are superficial and fake; that which you believe is your goal but it really is not. … Continue reading To Have A Goal
Best Of Worlds
Our world has evolved they say, and indeed such does seem to be the case if we use technology as the metric of measurement. We live longer thanks to advances in medicine and readily available healthy nutrition. We can speak with someone on the other side of our planet and easily travel to where they … Continue reading Best Of Worlds
That Which Truly Matters
Riches can be stolen, fame can be forgotten. External forces are not in our control, and thus it seems very strange to me to put our everything into that which is not entirely ours. What truly matters in the end is that which is ours and cannot be taken away - our mind. To be … Continue reading That Which Truly Matters
To Give Is To Get
What you give is what you get; give nothing and you will in turn receive nothing. Likewise, the opposite is true. Give everything and your kindess will be reciprocated. But do mind that giving because you want something will result in reciprocation that wants something. Aim therefore to become someone for whom the very act … Continue reading To Give Is To Get
Modernity Versus Biology
That which we feel is good for us and values we hold dear, why are they so very hard to adhere to? Perhaps it is so that this is linked with our inherent dislike of that which is presented as "musts" in cooperation with our biological predisposition. Our brains are wired in a way that … Continue reading Modernity Versus Biology
Roadblock
Our biggest enemy is ourself, or more precisely our different thoughts and ideals clashing for victory inside our heads. It's like being stuck at a roadblock, waiting for a chance to be on the way. These forces, they were meant to confluence into a river, not as it now seems, to fight over dominion over … Continue reading Roadblock
Theory On Probabilities
My theory on probabilities is the answer that I reached through contemplating the nature of truth and truthseeking. The basic premise is this. Even if there existed such a thing as objective truth, we cannot reach it due to us being creatures of mind and ego; humans have a conception of self through which to … Continue reading Theory On Probabilities
Don’t Fight It
That which I have begun to understand is the futility of fighting against our basic human instincts. I mean not that you nor I should let them rule us, but rather that we seek to carve a path on where both reason and instinct can walk in peace. Accept that there are certain needs, certain … Continue reading Don’t Fight It
Quest Towards Meaning
How far can I possibly go and what can I achieve with the time allotted to me. The meaning of life is a question that has been contemplated upon for as long as the human race has existed (perhaps longer), and the answer for which cannot in and of itself be absolute. Many perspectives can … Continue reading Quest Towards Meaning
