How Does One Not Do Something?
How does one NOT do something? By not doing it. Life is really simple. You either do something — or you don’t. If you can investigate your life with scrutiny – you will see that 90% of things you didn’t do – you never even attempted. The narrative is futile. The excuses are …
Own Choices
Few men make their own choices. Usually we only choose from a few alternatives. Often less then that. Often we relinquish all the control, all the responsibility.

The great irony with insecurity is that improving one’s life or status doesn’t really end it – whereas increasing one’s self-worth, self-esteem, confidence, will all tremendously benefit one’s life. The elementary condition of having low self-esteem cannot be solved through the external — for the problem is in it’s nature internal, rooted in our …
The Grand Theory of Opportunity, Momentum and Freedom
You are here. You are influenced. You get conditioned. You can only be influenced to the extent to which you are empty. (You can only be sensitive to the extent to which you are empty.)

Your Surprise Betrays Your Expectations
You are surprised when something unexpected happens. For something to be unexpected – there must first be expectation, yes? Therefore – your surprise betrays your expectations.
