One of the challenges which we face with ourselves and with others is in finding the way to be in charge. Being in charge and leading in anything we do makes the experience different. Those who lead differ from those who follow since their way of seeing things and the result they get is different. It is important to remember that in order to succeed in leading the others, one must succeed in leading him/her self. Read more…

Three things, which are connected to each other, are Pain, Suffering, and Fear. One of the things, which our mind is great in making us live with, is Fear. Usually a certain experience affects us. Once we fail in something we feel a kind of pain that we live in for a while.
Some of us continue to live with pain and turn it into suffering which never ends. Suffering becomes a part of these people’s life and never ends. The overreaction results in destroying the life of the person, which is suffering until he or she loses hope in everything. Read more…

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…

Life is a collection of challenges which we face in our way to achieve what we want. Many tried to study the way humans behave in order to find out the reason which stands behind our actions. Sometimes we fail and sometimes we succeed but most of us do not care to know what exactly made us succeed in one time and fail in another. Read more…

Freedom and independence are two things which we all seek and want. Once one’s freedom is taken he or she would start a natural reaction to 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…

One of the most amazing things which we do in life is the way we think and the things which interest us. Everyday we find ourselves busy thinking 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…

Sometimes it seems to be difficult for us to describe what the word love means. Most of us have passed through such an experience and felt what love could mean…you don’t know how you fall, when it begins and whether it would stay forever or end at a specific moment. The most important thing which we definitely know is that once we know what love brings we become addicted to it. Even though we know that love could sometimes mean a compromise, a sacrifice, a complete change, and a will to accept the other as she or he is we cannot live without it. Read more…

Self Control is an action which we usually consider a gift that someone can have in order to succeed in life. Although it seems to be a great way which can be used to deal with conflicts and arguments, self control could also become a wrong way of expressing what one’s personality is. Imagine that you are in a middle of an argument with another one who is trying to show you as a weak person and tries to show your weakness in front of others who are watching you and him discussing a certain matter.

I started to write this time with nothing to think about or a message to send you….It is usually said that a writer or an amateur like me will face no such situation until the end of his or her career or life.
I feel that I am living in a world different from the one which others live in. I do not feel that I have something to give although I am supposed to be in my best condition. I am used to write only when I feel that there is something to write about or when I want to send a message for those who will be reading. Read more…

Something interesting which I was thinking of is freedom and freedom of speech which many explain in different ways. Some would say that there is nothing completely free of conditions while others would say that freedom can never be made if it is expected to be expressed according to certain rules. There are others who may consider this discussion about freedom of speech a way to put an end to it. Read more…

Some of us find a reason to live for while many follow other’s reasons without acknowledging this. The nature of our life today implies on us to act in a specific way in order to succeed in moving forward in a system which was already prepared for us.
Modern life demands from those who want to succeed in it to live in a specific way in order to gain it. In former ages people used to ask questions about different things…things like the reason we exist, religion, science, behavior, fake and true values. Today people are busy either with bringing the essential needs for their families or working hard to take part in the leadership of a Modern life which they never participated in designing it.

Perfection is one thing that many of us seek but no one did obtain. It is a game which could end by turning a normal man into someone who finds himself far away from reality and normal behavior of humans. Many writers and philosophers tried to explain perfection by describing it or by looking at the end of those who wanted to achieve it.

Shakespeare said: “But no perfection is so absolute, That some impurity doth not pollute.” While David M Burns said: “Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person.” Read more…

In order to feel happiness, we try to keep on working for a specific thing so we can live the moments of achievement after achieving it. We are taught that we can feel happiness only if we work hard and reach the final result.
This final result controls our feelings so imagine yourself working for a year while preventing yourself from feeling anything except of the fears of failing and the hard effort which you make. Read more…

Most of us are afraid to travel back into the past and think of bad things that happened to us. We prefer to move on and forget every memory which would remind us of something which happened and we did not want very much. We feel that if we go back into these memories we would lose control and live in a world which we do not want to be in. Read more…

Ego is one thing which affects our life and decisions. Many people would prefer to keep on trying alone to do something although they know that they lack information and the skills needed to achieve this thing. Our Ego tries to convince us that we can do anything without any help because we simply know everything and of course we are the best. Therefore, we may not accept someone’s help because we do not want him or her to be better than us. Read more…
