Mindful life

I hope you had a great weekend. Today we will focus on how we can let go of grudges. How we can find a place of forgiveness in our life? Yesterday I was reading the news and I was baffled by a particular story of a driver who was involved in an accident. He was with his entire family on a road trip. Both of his children and his wife were killed in the accident. Reading this story suddenly jolted me out of myself. This made me realize that even if I live to the ripe age of eighty, there are not that many days left. Most of us live our lives like we have an infinite amount of time on this planet. Anyways coming back to the story, this driver was talking about how in the moment he was immediately able to forgive the other person who hit their car. I think the idea to forgive the other person immediately is almost unthinkable (If you ask me, I have had kept grudges for petty things for too long.). The idea to me is extraordinary. He said that the reason that he was able to forgive ...

Friendship is worth more than is given credit for Today a special person was born. He is a brother, friend, study partner, colleague, comrade, fellow athlete... the list can go on and on. I am grateful for your true friendship. I am hundred percent sure that you are going to become very successful in life. I also know that this year is going to bring you many accolades.

You can get dopamine hits from other things occasionally but if you don't have a source of real lasting contentment in life you are going to become an addict. Happiness is not worth chasing, it is a chimera. You cannot ma...

To all those men out there struggling, there’s one thing you need to realize: you need to fight. You need to fight a corrupted system, you need to fight mediocrity and you need to fight off your own darkness. Modern society likes to keep you placated by providing just enough to keep you settled - shitty movies and tv-series (I will write a post in future on why you should stop watching movies and series.), delicious poisonous food delivered to your door etc. But when your life is turned upside down by illness, job loss or perhaps a woman showing you how cruel the world can be, you might fall in your own hole. This hole can be deep and can lead to thoughts of suicide. What is suicide? To me it’s giving up. You have lost the will to live. You can’t go on. If you find yourself in this place you need to find your inner warrior and fight like hell to a better place. Get angry if you need to. Male anger is seen as an extremely antisocial and destructive force. It is seen this way because it ...
