Some days it feels like there\’s a million things we\’re reaching for in life — more money, more love, more acceptance, more bliss… …And along with all of that comes stress and heartache that we\’re not getting those things we\’re seeking. It\’s like they\’re somehow just out of reach. It\’s frustrating. It\’s depressing. Sometimes it\’s

I have noticed that there are 3 distinct ways in which people (including myself) generally live… Sometimes it is a mixture of all 3 – but not in a conscious, balanced way – often it just works out that way and people don\’t realise fully why they\’re happy in some moments and feeling displaced, off-balance

Gautama Siddharta said “When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.” — and I found out that he was right… eventually. It\’s been at least 12 months since I first read that quote. At first I just laughed at the absurdity of the idea… but I

Depression is partly a case of poor mental habits. Sadly, our education

Striving, striving, striving… But what are we striving for? What are we really looking for? We work ourselves into the ground, we party hard, we study hard, we\’re always moving, yearning, striving, pushing, pulling, trying, seeking…. But most of us don\’t even know why.

You’ll need to trust me that what I’m saying is true and it works, because I’m talking from direct personal experience here
