The REAL Meaning of “Going With The Flow”
What would it mean, to “go with the flow”? If someone heard this phrase for the first time, heard this advice for the first time — what would he surmise? Please look into the meaning of “going with the flow” for yourself. I imagine going with the flow would be avoiding obstacles. One is …
If you rely on the approval of others – do you still rely on yourself?
If you rely on the approval of others – do you still rely on yourself? Is this your opinion or their’s opinion, then? You espouse certain beliefs, which you read somewhere or found out by yourself. Now, if you need someone to validate them – are you not invalidating your own perspective? Why …
Quoting Others Is Unoriginal
It’s a nice thing to share the body of knowledge, I assume. We are, after all, building a collective consciousness. …but it’s unoriginal notwithstanding. Are you creating or are you passing on? What does it tell about you, exactly? And do you not need to quote others – so that now there are …

Thirst For Knowledge Is Just Thirst
Thirst for knowledge is just thirst. It implies thirst. Thirst. A burning need. A desire. A LACK. When you’re lacking — you are poor. You are poor and suffer from all it’s afflictions. You poor condition permeates your being. You become poor at heart, poor at mind, poor at soul, and poor in …
Anything Is Possible — And It Has Nothing To Do With Your “Dreams”
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS POSSIBLE. Not a clue. Wishful thinking or sceptical – you have no idea. You sceptics are not really sceptical. You should be sceptical about what you deem impossible. You should be more open to the UNBELIEVABLE POSSIBILITIES. We all underestimate what is possible. Dreaming, fantasising, wishful-thinking, …
