The Hard Life

Nobody wants a hard life, but the reality is that the world is as is, and sometimes it seems hard - and you just gotta learn to manage it, not fight it escape it or eliminate it. You do this with a whole lot of care towards yourself and others.

Good or Bad?

There are no good or bad people, but people with both positive and negative qualities. For some their positive qualities are more visible to the outside world and their negative qualities hidden, while for others the reverse. Individual predispositions, the environment as well as personal may affects which category people fall into. So if this is the case, what are YOU going to do about it? 

Metacognition Unique to Us?

Would it be correct to say that metacognition (thinking about thinking) or the ability to observe one's thought process, emotions and behaviours is only unique to humans? (it seems animals and artificial intelligence can do most other cognitive processes). 

Every Emotion is A Goldmine

Every emotion, mood and state, whether positive or negative is a goldmine, a gateway to better understanding of self and others. To effectively explore bring along the tools of curiosity, openness, acceptance and love, begin your exploration every time you experience emotions especially the ones that are not as pleasant as you may like them to be. 

Authenticity vs Inauthenticity

Authenticity does not seem to be the norm these days. There may be two faces of in-authenticity arising from either fear, or habits.

Fear: of discomfort, loneliness, survival, being an outcast, what others would think. 
Habits and culture: going with the flow of in-authenticity caused by culture and habits

Wisdom Gained Wisdom Shared

The transfer and sharing of knowledge and wisdom, insight is as important as its gain. It is one's responsibility to share knowledge and wisdom to those who can benefit and make better their lives.  It is also other's choice to accept and implement that knowledge and wisdom and the one that imparts is in not authority to command change and acceptance of ideas shared.
