A few months ago, when I moved, by default I performed a type of inventory – a subconscious-turned-intentional assessment of all the things I have and their usefulness. Having about 85% of my belongings in a storage locker for 3 months changed my perspective on what I really needed, and what I didn't. Upon clearing … Continue reading Unlearned
Life
Life High in the Himalaya mountains, there was a town. In this town, there was a wise old man. People would travel from miles and miles around to visit the old wise man to consult with him on many matters: life, matters of the heart, destiny, etc. He was known to have the answers … Continue reading Life

Truth
Truth How do we slow down enough in life to sit still and face ourselves? Have you thought about this?

Decisions
The power of one decision amazes me. It can seem like the smallest, most miniscule thing, or even not, but can have a huge impact on one’s life trajectory.

Workaholism
Dear America – prosperity should not be sought after on the outside. No. Listen to me. Prosperity is NOT wrong. It is very, very, good. BUT at what point do we realize that we have been going about finding it the wrong way? Do the ends always justify the means? Or do the means always … Continue reading Workaholism
Isolation
Isolation I sit at this restaurant at the only table that has an outlet that I can charge my laptop at while I work on a few things. I am working .. but not. What was utter exhaustion earlier has turned into utter inspiration after fulfilling my appetite with cabbage-seafood- and vegetable stir-fry and … Continue reading Isolation
