MAGICAL MINDFUL LIVING: FINDING JOY IN THE EVERYDAY

3 Reasons: Highly accomplished people are serious hobbyists You already enjoy doing this Gives you more opportunities. Why should you restart your hobby? Yes. Nobel prize winners are highly accomplished people from all of the planet, and they are serious about their hobby. I will give you a list of such hobbies at the end of the paragraph. More importantly why? It could be due to the fact that, learning different domains of knowledge gives you an edge over others who are just

Why do you feel disconnected from yesterday? Think about yesterday. What did you do? Did you plan some activities and did not follow through? Did you set your goals and could not achieve them? Does yesterday feels disconnected from today? Does every day feel like it is a new beginning and you cannot get over into a momentum and flow? There is good news, and that it is never your fault. All or non-neurons Why it is never your fault, is an important philosophy. That is due to t

Tech Addict I am addicted to screens and technology. Just like you, I am a zombie to the algorithms. It is not my fault, as these tech companies like FB, Google, and Microsoft have spent billions of dollars researching human behavior and hijacking our natural thought patterns and boredom cycle to feed new information they want directly into our brains. So, let's be careful not to lose our happiness to someone else's dream. However, counteracting this force is also possible if

Why I wish I had a mentor? Because life is short, and there is not much of it to live, yet it demands so much to accomplish, I wish I had a mentor. Not just when I am stuck with a domain-specific problem, in a narrow field where I cannot even stretch my arms and free my legs, but I wish I had a mentor to know the places where I should go, instead of struggling to find peace. Who would teach me to create my own pothole of mud in a field, to escape the constant attack of life's

If you want to compare life to a game, baseball would be the one to go with. In baseball rules are simple, in life it is the same. However, the way we should be playing the life game would be slightly different from what happens in a baseball match. You may say, wait a minute. Why am I reading this? Why should I know about rules of the baseball and life? Life is like a baseball game - Scoring with Homeruns. The fact is I do not care, if you like baseball or not. But rules of

A talent is a natural phenomenon Imagine a seed, A chestnut or a walnut. Once the seed is planted in a fertile ground, with enough water and sunlight, it will create a sapling. Which will eventually become a tree. There is no miracle in it. Nobody goes woooow.. look at that chestnut tree. I wonder how it came to exist? Nobody talks like that as there is no mystery to it. It is just a natural process with a sequence of steps involved, unraveled by the part of science called bo

Defaults. What you do automatically are basically your default. What do you do when you wake up early in the morning? Just curse yourself for getting late? Then that is your default. How about the first app you start when you get your hands on your phone? YouTube? then that is your default. How about the first thing you say when you meet your loved ones in your kitchen in the morning? That is your default too. Defaults are powerful when properly planned and placed, but they c

Why you should be prepared to be a fool. Be a fool every day. Success is not about straight path. Everybody has a theory to how to be successful, yet only a handful of them from a thousand would ever reach enough success to fulfil their dreams. What is the difference between these people and ordinary? You may think talent, luck or intrinsic generousness. But it is not just about luck. It's the ability to experiment, the willingness to take foolish risks and come out of it and

Life of a firefighter - 9/11 firefighters Life of a firefighter is not an easy one. When I used to go to school, I happened to walk by the fire department. Almost every day the fire trucks were parked, neatly, washed and polished just like the day before. I wondered a fire is ever going to break up, or is this the least busy job in the world? How many times a fire breaks up so, these trucks need movement. What were they doing? eating cheese sandwiches watching movies with bud

Jim Rhon philosophy of working on yourself. If you are into self-development and generating wealth, you cannot avoid this guy. He is an internet sensation, even after his death in 2009. To be honest I am not a big fan, as his philosophy of getting rich lacks the answers to the fundamental question of why. But as you can see, I write about him as there is some truth, in what he preaches. If you wonder after working hard on your job for decades and you are not wealthy enough to

Well, maybe it is not true everywhere, but I would say a lot of times. Have you ever been called a coward? when you failed to meet your responsibilities, at work in home. Probably the blame came from someone significant in your life, boss, partner, friend. Being coward is a good thing, as it opens up opportunity to move forward. Called a coward is not a bad thing, as it gives you a significant opportunity to reconsider your life. Either you can dwell on the blame or just do a

Waking up a cave man. Imagine waking up as a caveman. Would it be like Croods? In the movie? I wouldn't guess a colorful world but a brutal one, with daily struggle to search food and water. Build a place for living on my own hands, fight for the rights of mating. Hot when it is sunny, cold when it is cloudy, and die when fallen sick. Yet, there would be no one responsible for my actions, other than me. I have a choice. If I do not eat, I die. If I do not fight, I do not get

Origins. I heard this nice metaphor, of course it originated from you tube. Some psychiatrist used it to describe what happens in a narcissistic relationship. Example goes like this. In a narcissistic relationship the victimized partner will get sunny days, rare and occasional these may seem, only happens when his/her intensions are aligned with the narcissistic person. However, when the victim lets, his or her guard down, they will again fall into the same exhausting routine

Maybe It's inferiority Complex. Have you ever felt like you are not good enough compared to others? That you are a failure, disadvantaged, disabled, unlucky and unfortunate. You feel jealous of success of others but fail to take action as you're scared of criticism? Maybe you are suffering from an inferiority complex. If you are trying to prove you're better than others all time every day, then you will never be able to feel self-worth right now. As there will always be someo

Distance between you and your rules is bigger in the life. We were born into a system called society, with some smaller systems called co-operations. Governments are special kind of cooperation which everyone is a part of it. Whether we like it or not this is how the world function. In these systems there are rules. Such that, in your own office there are rules describing your work. How much you are paid. How many hours you have to work. The rules themselves are not made by y

What is a Mandala? Mandala is a geometric pattern which radiates outwards from a center. There are inner patterns outer patterns and boundary. It is found mainly in eastern religious traditions, representing individual or core ideas relating to broader perspective of the universe. As with everything else, we see more and more spread of these ideas over variety of cultures lately and nowadays you will find no designer who knows nothing about mandalas. But traditionally philoso

Romanticizing my day: How i did it? Manifestation I have heard of this term before, so called manifestation or imagining your future like it is real, like a mental drama played in the screen of mind, which might become real of viewed often, and believed in it. Can this actually work? I have doubts on this technique just like you. It feels as if its a method for a fool, who like to believe instead of doing actual work which needs to be done, a method for a procastinator, a goo

Example of a simple life. Let's analyze the character Leon. I watched this movie when I was almost a teenager. About Leon the Professional American Hitman and the little girl Matilda, a girl whose family was murdered by DEA. However, Leon reluctantly takes this 12-year-old girl under his wing, initially just to save her, but later he works as her "Hitman" to take out the DEA agents who took the lives of her family, including her brothers and sisters. It seems a tragic the way

Mastery is the way? Mastery is the way to achieve higher standard in anything you do, in performing anything. Mastery does apply to anything, from laying bricks to building rockets. However, such achievement of mastery would eat up significant amount of time and resources of a person. The opportunity cost of this can come up resurfaced in the Middle Ages of a person as depression or existential nihilism (personal experience). 10000 hours spent on mastery can either, make you

What is thinking in decades? This is not at all new. In eastern philosophy there is a method which you divide a 100-year human life into decades. First -> childhood. second -> play hood, third -> Beauty, youth, fourth -> power etc etc. However, I recently came across similar concept, where why we should think in decades. If you have read my previous article about next hour, I emphasize that why we should think about next hour and next hour only. But as you can see thinking ab
