Relax with Meditation

If you can't suicide, make the task smaller. If you make the task small enough, you will never fail to progress. But that can be pretty humiliating. Everything starts with the first step. The smaller the step, the faster you can take the next step—and the faster you progress. The faster you can change your direction and change your life, without frustration and even with fun. When you recover from a severe disease, you need time and patience to do the same things again. The Keith Jarrett ExampleFor instance, you want to play piano and improvise like Keith Jarrett in his famous Köln Concert—but you've never played piano before. If you have such a huge goal, you will fail. Then every hour you spend learning piano feels like a waste of time. If you don't believe me, try playing on a keyboard. You don't even have to try playing on a broken Bösendorfer piano, like Keith Jarrett did in his Köln Concert. How to Fail AgainIf you have already failed three times or more, it's pretty hard to try again—because you've…

How to Protect Your Energy, Your Time, and Your Sanity Introduction: The Art of Not Reacting We are constantly attacked, offended, and provoked—by people, by situations, by the endless noise of modern life. What do we do? Most people react. They explode. They explain. They defend. They justify. And they lose. Machiavelli understood something that most people never learn: Never react. Never explain. Just ignore. Osho said it differently: "Let the dogs bark. It is their nature." The strategies below will save you time, energy, and sanity—and give you a more fulfilling life. Here are Machiavelli's 7 Laws of Psychological Power. Law 1: Your Attention Is Your Most Valuable Asset Without your attention, time is worthless. Your focus makes your time valuable. If you use your attention to distract yourself—on dramas, bad news, or meaningless content—your time is lost forever. The Rule: Focus only on what matters most to you. Let everything else go. The Question to Ask Constantly: "Does this serve me?" If the answer…

Bob Proctor was a big fan and a disciple of Earl Nighingale…. Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway. When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself. Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind. Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use. Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality. Be it good or bad. Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us. Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored. Wherever there is danger,…

Scientists made a stunning discovery – one that could change how we think about cancer treatment. For years, researchers studied chemotherapy patients, trying to figure out:Why do some people heal, while others don't? They examined everything: Cell structures Diet and lifestyle Family history and genetics Previous illnesses Age and gender Despite years of data, they found no common link among patients who survived – until they looked at the gut. The Answer: One Missing BacteriumThe breakthrough came down to a single microbe: Akkermansia muciniphila. If this bacterium was present in the patient's gut, recovery was far more likely.If it was missing, the patient was much more likely to die from cancer. Akkermansia is the first bacterium science has identified that directly supports the body's ability to fight cancer. Where Does Akkermansia Grow?This beneficial bacterium naturally lives in the human colon, but its population depends heavily on what you eat. Today, you can even buy Akkermansia as a probiotic…

When we clear our shame and guilt, we increase our deserve level. You can't manifest something meaningful if you don't feel worthy of it.Clear out your shame and guilt, and your deserve level goes up. If you set goals that have high value for you, you increase your deserve level. If you do lower-level things that don't fit your agenda, or resent other people's values, or feel shame or guilt, you hold yourself back from doing the great things you want to do—and deserve to do. Take the time to clear your shame and guilt. And say: Hey, I deserve that. Be willing to do what is necessary to accomplish what you want. Nothing in this world is free—so do those things with the feeling that you deserve them. How to Clear Shame and GuiltShame is when you assume you have done—or not done—something that caused you drawbacks, negativity, or more loss than gain. Guilt is when you have done something that led to a negative outcome for another person. Both lead to symptoms in your life, such as: Overconsumption of food…

Everything has two poles, and both have the same size.AND WE MUST ALWAYS SEE BOTH SIDES! When we want something positive, we imagine it as positive—we have an infatuation.We create positive fantasies in our consciousness and push everything that contradicts our fantasy into our subconscious. For instance, we have a fear of loss.If we imagine a very positive outcome, we push our doubts into our subconsciousness or suppress our negative emotions, like fear. When we love, we push our jealousy, hate, fear of loss, and anger into our subconsciousness—otherwise, we could not idealize and love our darling.What supports our fantasy is greater than our challenge. When we fear something, we create nightmares and resentments in our consciousness.We create a negative outcome in our consciousness and have pushed all doubts about a positive outcome into our subconsciousness.If we resent somebody, we are anxious about a positive outcome or gain.In this case, the challenge is greater than our support. We have two different…

A Wake-Up Call from Naval Ravikant — and My Own Experience 1. The Architecture of AddictionThe best brains in the world are not designing cures for cancer or solutions for poverty. They are designing social media algorithms to addict you. They know exactly how to hack your dopamine. They know when you are vulnerable. They know what triggers your fear, your anger, and your desire. And then they sell that attention to the highest bidder. You are not the customer. You are the product. When you feel bored, anxious, or overwhelmed, what do you do? Scroll social media Eat industrial food Shop online Consume drugs (prescribed or not) These are not choices. They are programmed responses to a system that profits from your suffering. 2. The Food You Eat Is Designed to Kill YouIndustrial food is not food. It is a chemical product designed to: Addict you Make you sick Keep you coming back for more The pharmaceutical industry owns the industrial food factories. Think about that. The same companies that sell you medicine…

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours. You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with. The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about. Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed. Conflict cannot survive without your participation. Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances. Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life. There's nothing wrong with anger provided you use it constructively. Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you. You can either be a host to God, or a hostage to your ego. It's your call. Our intention creates our reality.…

If you’re over 50, your body’s natural repair systems slow down. But new research shows that five simple, food-based powders – added to your morning drink – can reactivate stem cells, boost metabolism, and support fat loss like never before. Based on peer-reviewed studies and clinical trials – not hype. 1. Resveratrol – The “Longevity Gene” Activator Why it matters:Resveratrol is a polyphenol found in red grape skins, Japanese knotweed, and certain berries. Harvard geneticist Dr. David Sinclair calls it one of the most important molecules ever studied in aging science. The science: Over 12,000 published studies Activates sirtuins – proteins known as “longevity genes” Supports DNA repair, cell protection, and stem cell maintenance Key finding:In aged human cells, resveratrol reactivated dormant stem cells by over 1,000 times. Clinical result:Obese participants taking 150 mg daily experienced significant metabolic changes within 30 days – including a 50% reduction in liver fat (comparable to results from…

The Wisdom of Machiavelli for Modern LifeIntroduction: The Cost of Complacency Never get weak. Never get comfortable. Never lose your alertness. If you do, your life will get out of control. This is not pessimism. This is realism. Machiavelli understood something that most people refuse to accept: the world does not care about your comfort. It will exploit your weakness. Here is how to stay strong, alert, and in control. Part 1: The 50/50 Rule of Life 50% of your challenges are manageable—if you are alert, consistent, focused, and willing to fight until you get the results you intend. 50% of your challenges you cannot control. Simple adapt. The key is knowing the difference—and acting accordingly. Challenge Type Response Controllable Fight. Focus. Persist.Uncontrollable Adapt. Flow. Surrender.Wisdom is knowing which is which. Part 2: The Myth of Loyalty Don't build your life on the assumption that your friends and family will always help you. Everybody acts out of self-interest. People are loyal and…

A Warning from the People Who Built the Machine 1. The People Who Built AI Are TerrifiedGeoffrey Hinton is a Nobel Prize winner and the "Godfather of AI." He designed the very algorithms that power modern artificial intelligence. And he quit. Tristan Harris was a Google insider. He designed AI systems that influence billions of people. And he quit. These are not Luddites. These are not technophobes. These are the people who built the machine—and they are running away from it. Hinton made $2 million a year. Harris could have made even more. They walked away from fortune because they saw what is coming. 2. What Are They Afraid Of?The social media giants—Google, Microsoft, Apple, Meta—are investing like crazy in AI. The first stage was to manipulate people. The second stage is to control them. This is not conspiracy. This is their stated goal. 3. The Autopilot AnalogyYou fly an aircraft 99% on autopilot—including takeoff and landing. Would you give the autopilot permission to control your life? That is exactly…

– Inspired by C.S. LewisLife is not mainly shaped by what happens to us – but by how we respond. The strongest person doesn't react immediately.They pause. That small moment – the space between stimulus and response – makes all the difference. The Genius DifferenceWhat separates a genius from an ordinary person? Albert Einstein said it simply: "We let ourselves have time to solve the problem. We wait until the answer comes – without actively thinking about it." That's not laziness. That's wisdom. Why Reacting Is DangerousWe get unexpected challenges every day. And the most stupid thing a human being can do?React immediately. Everything gets worse when you act from impulse. Instead: Step out of the situation. Calm down. Then discover the solution. Otherwise, you have no control – over yourself, your reactions, your emotions, your thoughts.You're just steering a ship through a storm without a rudder or compass. A Mental Reframe for Bad SituationsWhen I'm in a bad situation, my immediate reaction is to tell…

Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win. Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free. Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work. The scariest moment is always just before you start. you can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will. We lie best when we lie to ourselves. Love isn't soft, like the poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close. You have to stay faithful to what you're working on. Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright. What Darwin was too polite to say, my friends, is that we came to rule the earth not because we were the smartest, or even the meanest, but because we have always been the craziest, most murderous motherfuckers in the jungle. I think that we're all mentally ill. Those of us outside the asylums only…

Yesterday, my YouTube feed was flooded with videos about Christianity – faith in God, mega-churches, and the state of modern belief. It got me thinking… The Rise and Fall of Mega-ChurchesIn the United States, mega-churches were booming – some with seating for 15,000 to 20,000 people. They were powerful, wealthy, and influential. But here's the problem:Many of these so-called pastors had never studied theology. Instead of teaching scripture, they preached a mixture of Christianity + positive thinking – a feel-good gospel with little substance. Traditional churches criticized them sharply: "There's no word of Jesus. No real religious wisdom." Why study theology for years when you can make $100 million or more by selling hope without sacrifice? Before COVID, these mega-churches were money-making machines.Then the pandemic hit. Doors closed. And after COVID, people realized:The teaching was empty. The business was over. Sex, Guilt, and HypocrisyAround the same time, shallow Christian content flooded YouTube –…

Why We Are Getting Smarter at Scrolling and Dumber at Living? 1. The Data That Shook MeRecent global studies on intelligence show a staggering decline over the last 20 years. We are losing IQ points. Critical thinking is eroding. The ability to focus, analyze, and question—the very skills that built civilization—are fading. This is not a coincidence. This timeline matches exactly when social media took over our lives. 2. The Addiction MachineThe West did it before. In the 19th century, opium was forced into China to weaken the nation through addiction—making the population docile, exploitable, and controllable. Today, we did it to ourselves. We handed our attention to corporations that profit from distraction. Every notification, every algorithm, every infinite scroll is engineered to keep us hooked. If you train your muscles, they grow stronger. If you don't, they atrophy. The same is true for your brain. What you don't use, you lose. He who rests, rusts. 3. The Multitasking MythWe brag about multitasking.…

Zhuangzi Was Right All AlongInspired by: Zhuangzi Was Right All Along The Trap of UsefulnessOur society proclaims: If it is not useful, it is a waste of time. If it doesn't make money, it is not worth doing. If it doesn't lead somewhere, it should not be started. Slowly, without noticing, we begin to measure everything in this way. What is the point?What is the return?What do I get out of this? Something strange is happening. We have never been more efficient—and we have never felt more empty. People don't daydream anymore. They waste their time on social media with their smartphones to distract themselves—instead of using the saved time for pleasure. They optimize, they don't explore. They calculate, and then they waste their time on their smartphones. Hobbies Become Side HustlesEven hobbies are no longer free. They are turned into "side hustles." Even rest feels guilty if it is not productive. And so people procrastinate because they don't have enough pleasure or playtime anymore. They lose their…

Clove water, made by steeping whole or ground cloves in hot water and then straining them, offers several potential health benefits. These benefits are primarily due to a compound called eugenol, which is the main active ingredient in cloves. Here’s a breakdown of the key benefits, along with important safety considerations. Potential Health Benefits1. Rich in AntioxidantsCloves are packed with antioxidants, including eugenol. These compounds help fight oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can damage your cells and contribute to chronic diseases like heart disease and certain cancers. 2. May Aid DigestionClove water is a traditional remedy for various digestive issues. Reduces Gas and Bloating: It can help stimulate the production of digestive enzymes, which may reduce gas, bloating, and indigestion. Soothes Nausea: Sipping on clove water may help alleviate feelings of nausea. 3. Oral Health SupportThanks to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, clove water can be a great addition to…

As one goes through life, one learns that if you don't paddle your own canoe, you don't move. If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun. If you need a helping hand, you can find one at the end of your arm. Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything. If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased. You are the only person you can actually change. It's not what you start in life, it's what you finish. Loved people are loving people. You can’t change the music of your soul. Never complain. Never explain. If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married. Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I've had my share. But whatever happens to you, you have to keep a slightly comic attitude. In the final analysis, you have got not to forget to laugh. Life is hard. After all, it kills you. I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.

Stop developing skills until you identify your natural talent. Everybody has a God-given gift or talent.Often, it is hard to see your own talents because they feel completely normal to you. You notice the effort others put in, but you don't notice your own. As the saying goes: I can make you look, but I can’t make you see.Other people are often the ones who discover your talents for you.Seeing is a choice. A Story About Barbra StreisandBarbra Streisand originally wanted to become an actor.But when her boyfriend heard her singing, he was shocked—he had never heard such a beautiful voice before.He told her, "You have to become a singer." Would you agree? Talent vs. SkillIf you invest 10,000 hours in your talent, your talent will manifest.But first, you need to discover it—and then work hard to develop it.Without deliberate practice and excellence, no talent is truly accessible. Talent is domain-dependent.A domain is an area of control, knowledge, interest, or activity.Talent only reveals itself when the…

I recently listened to a polished speech from the new Pope. And I asked myself:Is he really connected – to his heart, to God – when he speaks? Honestly? I don't think so.So I can't believe what he says. The Problem with Polished WordsThere's an old sales saying: "Emotions sell, and data tells." When you sing, speak, or sell – you want to make an impact.And if your words come from real emotion, you connect with people. But a polished speech?Nobody is interested – not even God. C.S. Lewis on PrayerAfter the Pope's speech, I was drawn to a video by C.S. Lewis – "How to Talk to God the Right Way." His message cut through: God is not impressed by polished speeches or prayers. He rather ignores them. If you pray out of need, or let your words flow from humility – God hears you. But polished words?They are born from arrogance or pride. Both the Bible and the Quran warn: "God does not like the proud.""Pride comes before the fall." Why I Can't Repeat PrayersHonestly?I never repeat prayers – because they feel useless…

The Problem: We Suppress, Not Feel We are programmed to make feelings go away instead of feeling them.We look for distraction—easy to find today—and suppress our emotions. We think our emotions are our enemy.We like to be together with happy people, with no drama. And so we consume a lot of drugs, or we become addicted to social media and our mobile phones. Look at today's health reports: 60% of children are chronically ill. 10% are autistic. Suicide rates are at an all-time high. Depression has never been at such a high level. Wars are raging like crazy.The suicide rate of U.S. Army servicemen is five times higher than the death rate on the battlefield. Isn't this evidence enough to question a society that supports the suppression of emotions? How Does It Start?We send our five-year-old child to kindergarten. It comes back depressed. We politely ask what happened, and then we say:"Don't see it that way. Don't be emotionally affected. Don't go into your emotions. You see it absolutely wrong." The message is…

The Chinese government is controlling his citizen and that wants our governments to do also.. The Chinese have face detection cameras installed at public places and are so checking what their people are doing.. For instance, they want that you visit your parents regularly… And if you don’t do so you can’t use the public transportation anymore or go on vacation… Today our government wants that we pay with our mobile phone and not with cash anymore… They argue you can’t pay for tax less service anymore.. But what is if you can’t pay with cash anymore… They can control where you can spend your money… Even worse they want to introduce to stable coins,… that are Cryptos with an equal value of their currencies…. We have already stable coins for US dollar, Euro… 1… The government can so create money endless with stable coins… And they can program our stable coins how to spend it… If they don’t want you buying petrol for your car… they program your stable coins to exclude petrol… Or, in Europe, it is legal to limit…

The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls. Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear. There is no beauty without some strangeness. I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. The believer is happy. The doubter is wise. Those who gossip with you will gossip about you. Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute. I remained too much inside my head and ended up losing my mind. Never to suffer would have been never to have been blessed. If a man deceives me once, shame on him; if he deceives me twice, shame on me. If a poem hasn't ripped apart your soul; you haven't experienced poetry. All suffering originates from craving, from attachment, from desire. A lie travels round the world while truth is putting her boots on. A wise man hears one word and understands two. To die laughing must be the most glorious of all glorious deaths! The past is a pebble in my shoe. My Video: Edgar Allan Poe Quotes…

I had already tried putting castor oil on my navel – and it was good. But then I discovered something far more powerful: Applying castor oil to the entire abdomen – the area between your chest and pelvis, where there are no ribs or bones. That changes everything. Why the Abdomen?During the night, your body enters its natural redemption cycle – a time of deep cleaning, repair, and rejuvenation. Castor oil applied to the abdomen amplifies this process in ways that surprised even me. What It Does for Your GutCastor oil mobilizes your colon and gut through peristaltic waves – the natural contractions that move waste through your system. It breaks down the fermented biofilm coating on your intestinal walls. That sticky, stinky film?It gets dissolved and eliminated. And in the morning?You see the difference. My Personal Experience – 14 DaysI've been doing this for 14 days – and the results are astonishing. The First Few DaysWhen I went to the toilet in the morning, it looked much worse at first. Lots of gas. Soft…

Prof. Andrew Huberman explains that addiction and trauma lock the brain into a dysregulated reward-stress cycle. - The prefrontal cortex (responsible for self-control) becomes weakened by chronic substance use or trauma-induced hyperarousal. - The limbic system (craving, fear, grief) becomes overactive. Telling someone with severe addiction or grief to “just use willpower” is like asking someone with a broken leg to “just walk.” The neural hardware is compromised. What a “higher power” actually does (scientifically) When people hand over control to God, the universe, or an Anonymous-Alcoholic-style higher power, several measurable things happen: 1. Reduction in cognitive load Constantly fighting urges or intrusive grief thoughts exhausts mental resources. Belief in a higher power allows the brain to offload the monitoring and control to an external entity, freeing up prefrontal capacity. 2. Activation of parasympathetic (calming) systems Prayer, meditation, or surrender triggers the vagus nerve, lowering…
