Life is Change

The universe, since its ultimate creation, has changed forms, into galaxies with solar systems, planets that are strewn across them like atoms in an empty space. On our planet, a special little thing called life happened to evolve. Everything in this universe is temporary and will change eventually. We all turn to dust, and considering the longevity of our reality, our lives are but a flash of light in a world of darkness. People often fear the unknown, like what comes after death, or that their works will all be washed to nothingness over the course of time. All we are is sunbeams, shooting up through space and time until decaying eventually. We have the fear of being temporary. People try to escape this fear by building huge towers, increasing their wealth and leaving something behind. They try to help other people, some greats will be remembered, for their names are engraved in shiny plaques under bronze statues. For they have children who will have children of their own, and in so...

You are what you do

The world is full of evil. Often we are scarred by default from all the things that are imperfect. Many people have parents who made mistakes, and later on in life blame them for their own failures. But the truth of the fact is that no matter what happened before one, the only one who is responsible for the way we react to the situations given to us, is oneself. Since birth, every person develops his own mindset, that is unique, and we don't know how much of us exactly is determined from birth that we can't change. The environment in which we grow up plays an elementary role in personality development. People who experience a lot of bad things are likely to repeat those patterns, by some way or another. But it is wrong to put the blame exclusively on the wrongness of the world around us. The only way to improve the world is by our own deeds, which starts in our ways of thinking and mindset. It is of utmost importance to analyze your thoughts and sort out the ones that are ben...

Opportunities

Don't be so high and mighty that you don't take advantage of the humble opportunities that are granted to you. There were things that i didn't do that I could have that would have made my life better. Life is very difficult and in order to thrive with this difficult life if an opportunity is presented to you, you shouldn't be so arrogant that you dismiss it. And it's easy to be arrogant, especially as a teenager because you think 'well I'm smarter than everybody else' It's like, actually, no. If you're sixteen and your life isn't so happy, look around and see if there are opportunities that people are granting you. That's some advice that Jordan Peterson, a Canadian psychologist who focuses on improvement of personality and performance, would give his 16 year old self. I think he made a great point. You are responsible for your own happiness, and in order to be happy, you need to find out who you are, where your potential lies, you need...

the Wonder of Life

One trait that all life forms have in common is that when an individual has grown up, it has the ability to create offspring. Something that is pretty much unique to life. No-one ever saw a rock grow, or a piece of plastic reproduce. Life, though, does exactly that.    Our ability to GIVE life is astonishingly beautiful. They say that you don‘t know what you got until you lose it. People who have lost the ability to reproduce often confirm that theory. They would have loved to take care of a child of their own, with their face and their characteristics, but unfortunately this gift is denied them. That is exactly what life is: it is a gift. Like with any gift, you yourself, who receives it, is not responsible for its existence. None of us asked to be born and yet, we were born. It can be difficult, in fact it is bound to be difficult, but as I will later explain, it is bound to be beautiful just as well. We have a free will that was handed to us through the gift that we...

Balance / is life good?

In order to make the point I'm about to make clearer, I encourage you to read through the following verses: How good life seemed, how sweet its rewards, how trivial this grudge or that grievance, how admirable friendship, and the society of one's kind, as, lighting a good cigarette one sunk among the cushions in the window seat - If by good luck there had been ash tray handy, if one had not knocked the ash out of the window in default, if things had been a little different from what they were, one would not have seen, presumably, a cat without a tail, padding softly across the quadrangle. The sight of that abrupt and truncated animal changed by some fluke of the subconscious intelligence the emotional light for me. It was as if someone had let fall a shade. Certainly, as I watched the manx cat pause in the middle of the lawn as if it too questioned the universe, something seemed lacking. Something seemed different. In these thought-provoking lines Virginia Woolf charmingly ...

the limitations of being mortal

Mankind's desire to gain knowledge and to therefore advance is one of the most important drives that led to our rule over the world. We strive for the unreachable, for what‘s beyond our limits. Whatever it is that one ponders, it remains impossible for one to figure out the true spirit of its being. We attempt it, but the truth is not revealed within this life. For to be alive means to be mortal and being mortal brings limitations. Everything human that has ever been will eventually come to an end. One day, you will die and so will your children and grandchildren and the works they‘ll do and everything they thought to be meaningful. The world is soon to perish, due to the mere stupidity, or, should I say the quintessential functioning of learning processes in humans. We only believe what we can see. Just take a look at the world with its garbage patches as big as continents, with smoke clouds cutting through the atmosphere, unhinging the natural equilibrium.  We won‘t change u...

How your dreams can change your life

We all dream every night. Sometimes, we can remember these dreams, and if you happen to wake up with a crazy dream still partly on your mind, you should write down as much as possible! When we dream, scientists think, our minds review some of the most influential of thoughts that we had over the course of the day. That way the mind 'tidies up', which helps process and evaluate information, while simultaneously preparing for the next day.  So our dreams are about what's on our minds. If you watched a movie before going to bed and realized you were revisiting your memory of the movie in your dreams, you know how stupid your dreams can be. But sometimes by writing down and later interpreting them you can learn a lot about yourself and what your mind is going through.  I'm a dreamer type of person. So maybe you can't relate to what I'm about to show you, but just hang in there and you'll see that meaning can in fact be found in your dreams. To illustrate m...
