MAGICAL MINDFUL LIVING: FINDING JOY IN THE EVERYDAY

Disclaimer: This article discusses death and holocaust. Selfish gene I am a selfish person. There is no doubt about that. So is everyone else. We are moved on this earth by a will which is hardwired into our brains, which has only one objective called "SURVIVAL" of the individual. As today, survival is generously easy, we do not find much conflict with my survival to your survival. But it is during hard times that survival matters, and our greed become apparent. In Tsunamis,

Traditional Games we play Games that we play in life are many. From baseball to cricket, and from the Olympics to the Diamond League. It was not recently that I wrote about the Tour de France. However, this article is not about traditional "Games". There are some games in life we play by default, mostly without an immediate audience. It is important to recognize these games, as our happiness does depend on them. To be honest, one of my friends suggested writing about this art

I donated to world food program. I was just writing an article about how to live a virtuous life. And it was apparent to me this can only be done when I live my life for others. Not even the ones which are in close circle of mine. I can actually do this just now, with my computer. I can donate some of my hard-earned money to the world food program. So, I made a onetime donation of 18 USD. I know it virtually looks nothing. Yet I am feeling enormously happy than all the rest o

The sea and the sailor - essay The sea was immense; it was so boundless that there was no end to it. People claimed there was no edge, that you couldn't sail beyond it. Even If you embarked on a journey with a ship stocked with dried fish, water, medicine and other essentials to survive, for months and years, still you would not reach the edge of the sea and would eventually have to turn back or perish in the vastness. The sea was so vast that such a ship is like an ant tryin

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

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

I was fascinated by habits, from early in my life. When there was no internet, I still was learning about them from the books the hard way. I wondered how doing something productive becomes effortless and easy. But paradoxically doing anything productive is hard and tiresome. Specially when initial motivation of novelty is no longer there, the mind will wonder into the next new thing instead of continuely trying to do the same boring task.

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

Table manners We were having dinner in a nice beachfront restaurant, and were welcomed with a deep red watermelon juice, which captured the taste of a fully ripe watermelon of tropical kind. Once done the glasses were on the table with, a little bit of manners left in the bottom of each one, a tiny bit of watermelon juice to remind ourselves of the taste just a few seconds ago flooded our tastebuds. Lilly White was looking at them curiously and could not wonder the two cups w

"A washing machine has never made any women Happy." Have you ever wondered why you hate sunday afternoons, where you always have to come back home for monday? Maybe you live alone, or you take care of the house. Then one essential origin of this uneasiness comes from the pile of dirty laundary overflowing baskets. Generally on sundays. And you would dream to see the bottom of it -Sky2035 , as it seem it never ends. And it reminds me of Francosie Sagan, the french screenplaywr
