Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Only people who start and initiated - have that idea and wanted to achieve there Even initiating the group Saying ideas which was thought by everyone But you’re the one who said it FIRST Or initiated the idea Those people are the ones that can change the world You can figured out from the coordination work you did…
Starting a new business, or a tool, or a startup is considered an enormously good thing. And when you start something and shut it down after some time, you feel equal amount of sad. Why is shutting down considered bad when its the opposite when you stop for the right reasons.
Breathing vast cerulean Crisp cobblestone Remembering when I visited Centuries ago I meet a young girl Full of wonder and ache The world is yours But it will also take Misguidance awaits Learning is painful Something I like to remember When things are blue I breathe and I remember A stunning place In silent November
It's a weird feeling. The feeling of having nothing to say, to anybody. You can't go on dates because you've nothing to speak, let alone impress them. You fear calls from friends, cause after five minutes of niceties, it's silence of the most awkward kind. Actually, that's when you kinda get the realisation that…
Being okay with not being okay. Contradiction? Kinda. Really it’s different layers. Maybe you’re not okay at one level, but if the higher level is okay with it, then on the whole, you’ll feel okay. Maybe your bank account is zero. Is that a problem? Yes of course, but an equally correct answer is: Only if you treat it…
I know other journalers through my online writing cohort and social media connections. I don’t know other journalers among my family, friends, and acquaintances. When others find out I journal, they express admiration. In my visual journaling class, I was the only one who journaled. Even the instructor didn’t journal!…
Not really sure what to write here. Just checking this website out. I'm thinking of using this more if I find it fancy, as I don't really have the habit of writing and I'm sort of thinking about getting into it. Peace out.
Cara, vou começar pelo sonho. Com frequência eu sonho com comida. Mas não são sonhos normais. São sonhos mega realistas, tão realistas que eu sinto o gosto das comidas e acordo louca querendo aquilo. O sonho da vez foi com um bolo de chocolate. O processo da receita envolvia maracujá, manga e, claro, o chocolate. Um…
We survive in groups. To not belong to one is a fearsome state for a social animal to find itself in. However, a collective alone does not make for fulfillment. We are rarely content to linger on the lower rungs. Likable but useless. Our primary drive is towards survival. When we are safe we start seeking groups to…
I have been a heavy user of the internet since 2000. There were years between 2012 and 2016 when I was very active on social media. Since then I have shied away from maintaining any online identity. There has been a constant urge to build an anonymous identity (to find like minded people) but I don’t want to build any…
ahhhhhh a reoccurring shape i use in creation is a sphere. why do i use it? the reason derives from a quote by Andrea Branzi "the distance between the natural world and artificial world no longer exists today, because the latter has become second nature". this quote resonates with me, i exists both naturally and…
Yesterday, I accidentally smashed a bottle of red wine in our kitchen. Pieces of the broken bottle scattered everywhere, and red wine covered the floor and splashed on the walls—it was a huge mess. Understandably, I was very pissed off at first. But I remembered Shirzad Chamine's mantra of "taking the hand off the hot…
Look at our movies, they are full of blood and violence. Look at the combat sports we enjoy, the crowd goes berserk when there's blood or if someone gets knocked out. These serve as an outlet for our suppressed violent selves. I think this ties back with the way humans became apex predators, our ancestors were…
The difference you can obviously think is conservative. But what does conservative means? It also means that they are more opened to new ideas and the problem with Asian thinking is it’s way too conservative. That there’s a certain system or rule to follow; which might not be real That you can date as many as you like…
Where I'm from, asking your waiter about the ingredients in a dish usually prompts one of two responses: 1) "You can't have this, this, or this. But this and this are safe to eat." 2) "Uh, I'll ask the kitchen and get back to you." While visiting London, I was really surprised that the near universal response was…
Há tempos eu não sentava a bunda para escrever por 8 horas seguidas. Estou exausta, mas gostei do resultado. Eu queria saber qual é o tempo que levo para escrever a minha newsletter Espiral. A conclusão é que, caso eu queira produzi-la primorosamente, gastarei ao menos 2 dias inteiros escrevendo e condensando nela…
With a 'Morning Routine' you inherently assume that you're a morning person. You're assuming that you or someone else has enough energy to face the world as soon as they wake up. I'm not a morning person. I'm a night owl. Or, at least I thought so until recently. When the world is getting ready to go to sleep, I wake…
My PKM includes not only fingertips to keyboard and screen to type but also fingers around a pen or pencil to write on paper. (Yes, I use Rocketbook. No, I don't have a tablet - yet.) Listening. When a prompt in LYT Workshop 9 was posted to share memorable podcasts, I immediately thought of and shared - this podcast…
when i'm alone, i don't eat because to eat, you have to cook, and if you cook, you have to do the dishes and it's just not worth the hassle (i can't understand people for whom eating is such a pleasure that they'll go through the trouble of not only cooking, but BAKING) it turns out it's far more enjoyable to be…
There are moments that we don't really feel proud of, moments or decisions that come as an reaction to something, for example, responding in a certain way, with a certain tone of voice, but it just comes out of us. These moments as well as many other might it be good or bad experiences and reactions are still part of…
In everything I do, I've noticed a universal truth: I need time to warm up. Whether I'm writing my thesis, exercising, or editing a video, the initial phase is crucial to reach a state of flow. This warm up phase is critical, and it highlights why minimizing distractions and avoiding frequent context switches is…
People don’t like getting sick, but I do. Getting something like the cold has several stages. First, there’s the feeling that it’s coming. Then you’re actually sick—the low point. After a while, you start getting better. It’s the getting better part that makes me like getting sick. Why is it enjoyable, exactly? You…
The paradox of life is, It gives,the lightness of joy and the burden of pain; and takes,so we may learn the worth of what was given. Every gift of joy or burden of sorrow, arrives with the promise of its leaving. And though we may celebrate or grieve its passing, It was never meant to be kept....only experienced. Time…
Monsoon, a season of rains. Its brings with itself a celebration, A season when you feel relaxed just with the sound of pitter patter when it hits the ground. A season of treat to watch peacock dance A season when the air is ripe with the earthy smell which feels so divine. A season that teach the art of letting go…
Comi rápido demais e agora parece que eu estou tendo um infarto. Eu jantei foccacia que fiz com as minhas próprias mãos. Estava uma delícia completa. Uma das melhores que já fiz. Adoro fazer um pãozinho, adoro saber cozinhar. Coloquei o restante da caponata junto, uns tomatinhos cereja, sal grosso e alecrim, que eu…
It took me over two weeks to finish Barkha Dutt's book, To Hell and Back. Not because it reads slowly - quite the contrary. But the scope of the pandemic, and the individual and collective tragedies it contains within it, required me to put it aside for days at a time. Individual stories stood out, framed in sharp…
I remembered something that I had penned a while ago, as I was reading Louis' post on disregarding intuition. I wrote about why we rely on it so much in the first place and how understanding a little nuance to our intuition might help us. It goes something like this. Intuition helps us understand things instinctively…
An abundance of information is good but unnecessary. Learning, knowing, and consuming information under the garb of curiosity is a neatly packed product sold to all internet users. Most marketing courses prescribe creating informative, valuable content to subtly signal the need for a product. This method of selling…
First post. Of many I hope. I'm here to support Louis. Because he came up with a great idea. Built it. Marketed it. See a problem, solve a problem. That is how mankind makes progress.
That first step is a doozy. It can be hard, even if it’s a step you've taken before. Maybe it’s a difficult step, a step you don’t like, a step you fear, or a step you have taken in a while. The reason you're not taking the step doesn’t matter. Not taking it does. I restarted a project I set aside 20 years ago. I…
When you're a young, high-potential kid, you're told of the things you can be: "you're brilliant, maybe you'll be a doctor" "you're so clever, you could be an inventor someday" "you're so convincing with your opinions, you'd be a great lawyer" In college, most of us start to specialize: accounting majors become…
Have you ever experienced falling in love AGAIN, Feeling the Effect of an entheogenic substance AGAIN, Being on an Adventure AGAIN? And your reaction was: "Oh MY, I totally forgot how good this feels!" How many times in our lives we underestimate how good it will feel... to feel How many times in our lives we…
It's the fourth quarter of 2023, and I chose to replenish my 6-month undated Roterunner planner - https://roterunner.com/products/purpose-planner - partly out of convenience, partly out of utility. Meanwhile, here's a list of planners which folks have shared -…
Your life and mine eyes that intertwine. Like rings around a finger and golden sheets of amber. Like a bicycle wheels belonging to childhood. Innocence and romance, Chocolate and laughter. Your life and mine, like the surface of a swimming pool in a fresh morning. Or the side of a river, calm. And pebbles. Your lips…
8 out of 10 people hate their jobs; If you love what you do daily, you're one of the few lucky people. Rest all of us are like lost satellites drifting away deep in the space with no mission and no clue of why we are even doing it. Taking back the control of your life into your own hands is not as easy as people talk…
To optimize means to discard a working hypothesis and replace it with a simpler one.
é preciso cuidar do corpo, das necessidades do corpo. não há possibilidade de conciliação com a natureza antes desse compromisso, é o primeiro passo, é primordial. não adianta cuidar de plantas, mexer na terra e construir teorias contra o fim do mundo se não olhar, primeiro, para o corpo. é nele que são firmadas as…
Is it fucked to think that If you want to get attracted TO other person The first thing to do is to be attractive yourself (girls trying to be pretty; guys trying to make money) Then you’ll attract people who WANTS it (kinda fucked up to think people you attracted will be lesser than you) Be a great story teller, a…
The early 1990s, summer holidays meant staying at a beautiful Boston suburb with my Maasi and her family. She used to brew a pot of an aromatic fresh coffee everyday. Occasionally we would drive to a local Dunkin Donuts for a quick takeaway. A trip to Montreal and Quebec with my cousins was an eye opener, so many…
I received the death news of a close relative today. For a moment I was speechless as the end of life has been the single most mysterious truth for me. It's the ultimate inevitability that makes life so precious. We acquire all the survival skills in the journey of life to meet death one day. It's also the ultimate…
Our world is shaped by shared myths What is a shared myth anyway? Shared myths are things which has zero or near zero intrinsic value by itself.Its value is provided by the people believing in them.They lose their value if everyone stops believing Most people do things for Pleasure,Money & Religion Money does not have…
Is it true that we are more or less the same on the inside? I don't mean psychologically. I'm thinking of the vital organs, the stomach, heart, lungs, liver: of their placement and function. -- You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine
Eu li uma newsletter que eu curto muito ontem reproduzindo um trecho escrito por Isabel Allende que dizia o seguinte: Talvez estejamos neste mundo para procurar o amor, encontrá-lo e perdê-lo, de novo e de novo. A cada amor, nascemos de novo, e a cada amor que termina recolhemos uma nova ferida. Estou coberto de…
I have never been a ferocious writer. There are many things I want to write but I feel somehow good vocabulary and ability to express myself in as simple and few a words has always eluded me. However, in this post, my goal is to just write. There may not be a specific topic or goal that I write about. Just some random…
I tell myself as I count down the minutes to 10:49am. In the middle of work, in the middle of a life I should be focusing on. "15 minutes of thought," I say - and I attempt to figure them out right here. I'm overwhelmed by own lies (of secretly working on a task I don't like doing, of pretending to work on things I…
How often in my life I have not taken the time to process my feelings. I know how to work hard and achieve success but I forget to celebrate with a period of rest and restoration. How many times in my life I have ran from one thing to the next without fully absorbing the monumental endeavors that I have achieved. The…
Today, when even the worst SM content format ever created (Reels/Shorts) tries to be "informative", its clear that we are living in the age of huge information excess. It is made worse by the "good intention" of continuously learning. So, we have access to limitless information and we consume a lot of it because of…
Creating positive experiences to share with others is easy. Consider your smile. Everyone wants to experience something that puts a smile on their face. You control your own smile. You can also make others smile. It’s easier than you think. Make a list of what makes you smile. Here are a few things that make me smile.…
