Once your basic needs are met, be careful with what you need.

Sometimes it's only a "want".

02/12/2021

Everybody has a purpose, even if you are not aware of it.

You might be the next person to revolutionize the world or simply to make enough to change someone else's life.

In both aspects, your purpose is being met. Whether you know it or not, be mindful of it because it's what will make you feel fulfilled.

It's a nice perspective change once you see life like this.

We tend to think in things that we want, focus only on them and when we can't achieve or get them, we get frustrated.

Maybe once in a while it's nice to see all the things that haven't happened to you and how grateful you are for this.

Be grateful to be alive and breathing.

Be grateful you might not be this way even today.

Be righteous even in face of adversity.

Can we be optimistic all the time?

Do we deny the problems if we do this?

Can we have problems and still be optimistic?

Or is it time-bound?

Anyone care to explain?

And how good it is!

An intentional question... and I want to hear your ideas...

Have you ever heard of brain fog caused by feelings?

Maybe you never heard of it but sure it has happened to you in some way.

Feelings take over our decisions and it happens. The problem is when it takes away true action.

Has this ever happened to you?

Question: Should happiness be a goal in my life?

What we have on the outside is (most of the time) what we have on the inside but materialized. When you see bad your surroundings are bad, when you see good everything looks fine.

The imbalance that occurs is because the time hasn't had its space to really do the work.

But time levels all things, as it does with our internal and external consciousness.

You can be rich or peaceful on the inside but the outside is not like it... Yet. Time will come for your aid, but the first change is within.

The dicotomy of overachievers!

When someone becomes successful and they tell you that you need to be compulsive about what you want.

When someone fails being successful and they tell you that they didn't do well because they were too compulsive about the outcome.

How to balance what you want and how much effort to put in it?

I'd say it's enough when your mental game starts to give up. Not the motivation kind of give up, but the mental health kind of fatigue.

Sure, success is great and people can see it but your mental health stays with you for the rest of your life and should be a priority.

Take care of yourself.

Do you know any overachiever's breakdown cases?

Life is a never ending journey and all we do has a start and an end.

But through this path most people lose momentum on what they are doing.

This is a reminder to focus on going through the adversities if that's what you are fighting for!

I want to explain some basic principles...

You are never 100% sure of your purpose in this life, you can't be. But you have a lot of influences that guide you that way.

When you search for your purpose it's not like finding a pen in the drawer. The quest keeps on going throughout the years.

Your purpose in life changes. As everything else.

You might haven't found your purpose because you didn't even search for it, but you had one. If after looking for it, you think this will be THE purpose for the rest of your life, you are wrong, as is the person on this post.

Have you found your purpose? Do you think this will be the same for the rest of your life?

Suffering is part of life.

Even though some advocate you can avoid suffering, I say you can mitigate it. You will suffer, as will I, because we are imperfect.

The ting is, the suffering lasts as long as you decide it to be something labelled as "bad" or "good".

If something makes you suffer you change. If you don't, the suffering persists. So this is a great force to make you change what is wrong for your life.

As soon as you understand what made you suffer and change your perspective, change the fact, you bound to change for the better.

Quote from Seneca on "De Constantia Sapientis".

Not taken to the letter but to be used on many other problem in life.

Sometime what people want is for you to react. You, as a wise person, will simply go on with your life.

Do what is in your power to make your life better, the rest can be left for destiny to handle.

What we call honor (giving special recognition) when applied to ourselves is an ego booster.

We fight for our honor but we shouldn't. It is created in the minds of other people, so you cannot control it.

When you are content being nobody, this burden ceases to exist.

What do you think about this idea?

23/06/2021

It's self-explanatory. Social media presence is bad? No. The need for it is. All the externals should not be pursued if you wish to attain a lasting happiness.

Question: Where do I find my happiness?

Answering a friend via video chat.

Growth is within yourself. Your decision to act or not to act is the greatest power of your life. Yet we undervalue it and take it for granted.

You are your only source of happiness and fulfillment.

Look within.

My take on post about happiness and money.

Just so we are clear I haven't read the article and i think that scientific evidence should always be above our personal opinions. That's the thing with science, but anyway...

We really need some ammount of money to fulfill our basic needs and move on to be "happier". If these basic needs aren't met, we can't think of higher goals, standards or achievements...

But there is a place when having more won't help you on becoming happier and here's why:

1- if you have too many wants and needs, you will need incessant resources to fill that need and won't learn to apreciate what tou already have. Also no one has that many resources (money, time) available.

2- not everybody who has much money knows how to handle it well, so making a good use of it is not what always happen.

3- statiscally, most people won't be rich. They will die without having this much resources in life. So, because of it, does it mean that they cannot be happy or happier?

Once again, I haven't read the study and if the data show a correlation, then there's no argument. But I think the questioning remains in our heads... What if I don't feel like having more money? What if I value my free time more than anything?

That's a barrier to being happy and living life to the fullest, but what can I do?

Comment below what you think of this, thanks!

We are wired to think that the neighbor's grass is always greener (and no, that's not why I chose the green background).

We do what we dislike as a habit, because sometimes we can't say NO to people.

We like what we never do because we tend to like new things, even though they could not be beneficial or because we have a prioritization problem.

Either way comes down to the most basic aspect we always discuss here: is your life the journey you would like to embark in or is it another person's trail?

17/06/2021

1- Life isn't fair: most of us, even knowing it, expect life to be eventually fair with us at some point. It doesn't happen like that and not expecting this might help us in a lot of misconceptions.

2- Opportunities won't come to you: guess what, you must chase them. Life has a strange way of communicating with us, yes, sometimes things appear as a opportunity but it is in your hands to go and get that!

3- Not everybody will like you. It's as simple as that. We have different tastes for everything, so this is impossible. Even if you are totally honest.

4- Your point of view is also a matter of taste. Well, what can we do about it then? Just be ourselves, if not everybody is going to like us, might as well be what I already am...

From

A great perspective on what to do when you need some change!

Really nice comic and it makes you think, well how can I do what I want if it needs money?

Try doing things that doesn't require money! If you set your mind to things that aren't so expensive or maybe even free, you'll find a lot.

Another thing, your mind takes a certain ammount of time to get used to a new idea. At first you won't find it so good, but later you'll begin to be happier by doing things that do no require money.

Always remember yourself that you don't need anything else to be happy. Externals won't make a lasting difference.
