One of the things which our mind enjoys doing for us is to keep reminding us that what happened in the past would happen again. Failure and
Painful experiences are remembered by the mind more than anything else. The results which we get from the past become the information which the mind uses in order to deal with the present challenges.
This procedure takes place in everything which we live: relationships, making decisions, taking risks, and going forward in life. Our mind keeps on telling us that the best thing which we need to do once we need help in deciding anything is to get back to the past and see what the result of Read more…

Iran’s crisis with the west is becoming more complicated every day and the later threatens to start serious economical sanctions if Iran does not forget about its nuclear projects. Read more…

regain it in any way possible. Life and the system which we put for ourselves are two major sources for losing what we call freedom. The freedom which I am talking about is different from what you know…it’s the freedom of our own mind. Read more…

about our life, the way we want to live, our dreams, needs, and many other things. Some of us are not satisfied by only thinking of the usual things we do everyday. Larger things such as the reason we exist and the search for ways to achieve what we dream of are subjects which we think of. Read more…
