Path Superiority

“No man ever steps in the same river twice. For it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” —Heraclitus There’s no magic formula to winning. All the recipes for success famous people are preaching to you are their own and cannot be duplicated identically. You keep talking to friends, following mentors, reading […]

North Star

Have you ever really thought about what provides the overarching personal compass that points out the right way for you in life? Have you ever considered trying to figure out the meaning of life and what are the principles that give you a sense of mission in the world? In a world so spiritually disconnected […]

Get Off The Train

The lucky ones figure out their path in life early on. How that came about is sort of irrelevant if you’re on the right track where everything seems to be happening ‘for you’ instead of ‘to you,’ despite all the challenges you have to go through. On each train, there’s at least one lost soul […]

Core Strengths

Alright. I think it’s about time we try to settle the great debate between those who say “Follow Your Passion” and the others who say “Be Disciplined and Do Things You’re Great At.” I don’t know about you, but from where I’m standing there’s no discernable difference. I honestly don’t understand what the fuss is […]

The Ant On A Horse

There’s no such thing as smooth sailing in life. From an early age, we get snapped out of our protective shell of childhood and we start to face the real world. Soon enough we’re faced with our physical, mental, and emotional limitations. Then we’re in full view of the obstacles the world puts on who […]

It Clicks

What makes you feel alive? What is this thing that gives you pleasure, feeds your curiosity, entertains you, and into which you can lose yourself endlessly? If you can answer this question off the top of your head consider yourself lucky. The world is full of zombies who slip through life never to have really […]

Your Source Of Power

Somewhere deep down there’s a part of you that you’ll never expose about yourself. A secret habit or a private obsession, perhaps, that you’re always worried it could be perceived as a weakness. The fear of shame or ridicule haunts you because your thing doesn’t exactly conform with the surrounding sentiment. As you go through […]

Why No One Is Giving Advice To People Over Their Twenties

Everywhere you go, in every book, podcast, and Instagram Reel, all these great minds keep doling out advice aimed at the Gen-Z’s, the Gen-Y’s, the Millennials, and whatever else is out there. Somehow they forego that people can stay lost and stumbling through life past their thirties. That they also need support on every level […]

À La Carte Mentors

These are the times of abundant knowledge. It used to be rather difficult for a person to seek guidance, or an apprenticeship under a scholar or a master. It was, and still is, a privilege to have someone provide you with a one-on-one time to pour wisdom and knowledge straight into your brain. An apprenticeship […]

My Dad

My dad passed away four years ago. There hasn’t been a day since that I’ve forgotten what it feels like to lose my father. I remember one day in high school, ages ago, I lashed out at a kid, who must have done something to upset me, and called him a cuss word about his […]
