“Most of the successful people I’ve known are the ones who do more listening than talking.”
-Bernard Baruch
I’ve often felt that sometimes it’s better to let someone know you’re there for them rather than try to be their savior (unless they specifically indicate otherwise).
“Gratitude turns what we have into enough.”
-Aesop
In several of my previous articles, I’ve talked about expressing gratitude for both big and little things in life. But have you ever considered being thankful for what you want or need but don’t have?
“Hitting rock bottom doesn’t mean you have to stay there.”
-Michelle Parsons
Is there actually such a level as rock bottom? Or is it just an expression?
By definition, hitting rock bottom is losing everything possible to the extent that ascension of any kind is ostensibly impossible.
“There is no reality, only perception. Identify the filters through which you view the world.”
-Dr. Phil
Imagine this scenario. You’re sitting at your desk, on the phone. You want to write down a number so you reach for a pen and a piece of paper. But as you reach for your pen, it becomes smaller and smaller till you wonder if it’s even there or just a hallucination. With some struggle, you pick up the pen. You reach for a piece of paper but now that seems to messing with your mind too. The paper becomes bigger and bigger till it covers the whole room.
Are you going crazy? Relax. You’re not.
“Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.”
-Unknown
Today’s quote appears on every single side mirror attached to cars. Rarely, if ever, do people think about it apart from when they’re driving.

“Future endeavors with superstitions attached to them have the same probability of coming to fruition that anything else does. Either they’ll come to fruition or they won’t. Had they been anything more or less, the world would be a much different place.”
-Excerpt from upcoming short story “Howl of Freedom” by Angie Verhoeven
Are you superstitious?
“You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy.”
-C. Joybell
Nearly a year ago, I had written an article on getting rid of emotional baggage.
At the beginning of the year, I made a goal that on my birthday, I would do my best let go of any negativity. In essence, I thought of letting my mind start with a clean slate.
“Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.”
-Betty Friedan
We all dread it at some point. We try our best to stall it and when we can’t, we’d all like to pretend it’s not there by covering it up in any way possible.
I’m talking about aging.
“Once you stop learning, you start dying.”
-Albert Einstein
In many of my previous posts, I’ve talked about how attaining perfection is impossible. This is primarily because I believe that perfection is highly subjective. By who’s standards is someone or something perfect?
In this post, I want to expand a little on that topic.
“Life is your mirror
What you see as your outside
Always comes from your inside.”
-Roxana Jones
There is a term in psychology that is not utilized or alluded to as often as some other terms and elements. Nevertheless, everyone does it at some point. Sometimes it’s consciously and sometimes unconsciously. (In all probability, more the latter than the former). Chances are that you’ve done it at some point as well.
It’s called mirroring.
“Be careful what you wish for, lest it comes true.”
-Unknown
While origins of the above quote are sketchy, popular opinion suggests that it’s a translation of an old Chinese proverb from several centuries ago.
But is it true?
“Death ends a life, not a relationship.”
-Mitch Albom
In previous posts, I have talked about dealing with deaths of loved ones. To summarize those posts, I had written about how to keep loving the person that’s gone. I would like to expand on that thought a litte more today.
If we believe tomorrow will better, we can bare a hardship today.
-Thich Nhat Hanh
If you’re a member of this site and have read some of my previous articles, you’ll notice several of them stressing on focusing on the bright side. You’ll also notice articles that stressing on displaying gratitude for the smaller things in life.
“Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.” -William Ellery Channing In several of my previous posts, I have talked about confronting difficult situations in life and remaining optimistic. However, I understand that sometimes that is more easier said than done. So this post is a little … Read more
“The thing about meditation is: You become more and more you.”
-David Lynch
What exactly is meditation? The textbook definition is reaching a level of consciousness in your mind to where you can control what you think. In many ways, it’s nothing more than an advanced level of mindfulness.
“All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence you know.”
-Ernest Hemingway
Over the past few weeks, life has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me. I guess that’s to be expected because that’s what life is in general; a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
“If someone seriously wants to be a part of your life, they will seriously make an effort to be in it.”
-Unknown
If you’re read my previous articles on this site, you’ll notice that one thing I always stress on is never giving up on anything that’s a passion and close to your heart no matter how many obstacles try to stop you. But are there exceptions to that philosophy? Are there instances when giving up will actually be advantageous?
