Understanding ourselves and the world we live in.
Provided by Sarah Cole from PURC The Principle Of Sustainability: There are numerous definitions of sustainability. Like, the ‘entropy principle’ of sustainability states that life on Earth should not use more energy each day than is supplied by the Sun every single day. Herman Daly proposed these three principles of sustainability: non-renewable resources should not... Continue Reading →
Provided by Anthony Garner from https://zenothestoic.com/ I believe on any number of counts, including personal experience, that we have the power to choose to be happy but that the road is not altogether straightforward. Our philosopher friends would tell us that happiness is a “quale” – one of a number of different “qualia” which we humans can... Continue Reading →
It’s been a looong time since I wrote something and I’m not even sure I know how to do it. Life is so unpredictable that if you try to understand it, your mind might explode. Actually, this is what happened to me. One year ago, I thought that all I can do is write for... Continue Reading →
As you may have noticed, it’s been a while since I posted something. It seems that time works against me and instead of helping me achieve things, it keeps me away from doing what I love. Because of this, I decided to re-connect with my time so we both are again on the same page.... Continue Reading →
I don’t think it’s because we’re lazy even though sometimes we are. We’re procrastinating only when we see something negative in the things we do. Doing those things would lower our current state of mind and we want to keep it “high” as long as we can. The interesting part is that we’re... Continue Reading →
Have you ever wonder why do we get angry? I know it’s because of some situations or because of some people, but that is not the real reason. We get angry because of what we think about the situation or about the person, and most of the times it is connected with the feeling... Continue Reading →
Provided by Dr. Ramya from Self Life Hacks There are various personalities around us and one of the most beautiful personalities is "The-helping personality". These people can feel the pain of others and their distress, take a responsibility for the welfare of others and act to help them and keep them happy. If these characters match... Continue Reading →
This need affects our lives more than we think. Most of the things we do are related somehow with this need. But first, what is this need and why it affects us so much? This is related to one of our instinctual needs, the one of being part of a group. Why? Because... Continue Reading →
Lately, I’m wondering what kind of people we want around us. Are they always the same? Does it matter how we feel? Are we choosing our interactions based on our needs? Are our interactions the ones we suppose to have? As always, I think it depends. If we are not confident enough, we’ll... Continue Reading →
Do you ever wonder why we do what we do? Why do we want what we want? What’s the reasoning behind this? Why from time to time our wishes change? Why sometimes we want something opposite to what we wanted some time ago? Why our wishes and our needs change? What changes them? Do... Continue Reading →
Have you noticed that we’re always thinking that we’ll be happy when we’ll have “that thing”? But have you noticed that we almost never go beyond that? Like, really going beyond. Have you imagined how your life is going to be if you have “that thing” or that person? If so, for how long?... Continue Reading →
Have you ever wondered why do we dream? Why some of our dreams are so easy to interpret, but others are so strange? Why do we need to have these “virtual” experiences? What is the reason we keep having them? I think that the main reason of a dream is to blow off... Continue Reading →
I’m often thinking about the impact social media networks have on our society (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, twitter and so on). How do we see them? What are we expecting from them? What kind of connection do we have with all those people? Honestly, I’m worried about the influence of social media networks on... Continue Reading →
This is a veeeery tricky and important question for me. I don’t even know if I should ask it. So what is blogging? A blog is a site, but what does this verb refer to? Is it about writing? Is it about reading? Is it about both and many more? Is the purpose of it... Continue Reading →
What kind of relationships are the best? The ones in which the two of them are the same? Or the ones in which the two of them are very opposite and they complete each other? Which ones have a better chance in long term and why? We do like when we find someone... Continue Reading →
We can learn a lot from nature (I guess that’s why it’s called Mother Nature) regarding how unique can something be. Think about trees, for example. There are not two identical trees in the whole wide world. It’s impossible to have the branches exactly the same and the flowers/fruits/seeds/roots with the same size. Each tree... Continue Reading →
If you think knowing yourself is hard, try getting to know someone else. Like truly know that person. It’s another difficult task and we often hear about friends that betrayed themselves after 20+ years of friendship. Is it because of repressed feelings and frustrations? Is it because a low level of self and peer knowledge?... Continue Reading →
How often do you think of yourself as a universe? I started to do it once I’ve had a glimpse on human psychology. There are so many things inside us we’re not aware of, that when things start to move around, our whole world seems to turn upside down even though the outer universe seems... Continue Reading →
Have you ever wondered why that cliché with you are the result of your 5 closest friends’ mindset exists? It’s because it’s real (“No shit, Sherlock!”). The idea behind this is very simple: the more time you spend with certain people, the more of their mindset will sip into you because you’re going to talk... Continue Reading →
The more I listen to different successful people on YouTube, the more I wonder why not more of us get to similar levels of success. While writing these words I realized something: working hard is hard. Yes, it’s not a surprize or a revelation, but without a strong commitment, there is no way someone can... Continue Reading →
