Health is wealth, as they say. The whole world means nothing if you are not in a great state of physical and mental health to appreciate the joys of existence. Here are a few tips that can help you stay in the best form mentally and physically. 1. Exercise Regularly Having a regular routine of exercise or sports is crucial. The importance of exercise and bodily movement cannot be overemphasized. Numerous studies have shown that we age better when we exercise and move around frequently. There are many ways to get great exercise every day. Those with careers that require them to move around a lot are fortunate, as their jobs provide much of the necessary physical activity. They may need little additional exercise after work. However, those with sedentary jobs must schedule regular breaks to walk around for a few minutes and stretch. More importantly, they should exercise for about an hour after work at least four times a week. If you're younger, the effects of not exercising might no

Sometimes, letting go can be a good thing. You can't expect some people to change or worry about why they are the way they are. If you've highlighted what you don't like about someone or their behavior and they repeatedly show you they are unwilling to change or make efforts to be better, you put an unnecessary burden on yourself and sometimes hate in your heart for them. This is because you expect them to change, but your expectations aren't met. If you keep hoping that somehow these persons will change despite repeated evidence to the contrary, you will weigh yourself down and deplete your own creative energy while this person you are expecting to change lives freely and ignorantly, with no remorse. Who's losing? You or the person you're hoping will change? One person is unhappy, seriously bothered, and losing creative energy. The other person is most probably unaware of your plight as they have refused to make changes, and they are happy going about their liv

I had the pleasure of stumbling upon this video, and it sparked a stream of insights. I could feel the truth in everything discussed. Listening to the speaker, I realized that most of our relationships with ourselves and others are flawed. Many of us are not even aware of the unconscious ways we react and how these reactions affect others. There is so much bad advice out there, which makes people try to behave like something they are not because they are afraid of looking weak. Honesty and open communication, as I always believed, are at the heart of building deep, strong, and lasting relationships. This dialogue confirmed that for me. It also sheds light on how our emotional traumas from childhood or previous relationships affect our decision-making processes in the present moment. Many people have had imperfect experiences in childhood and relationships, leading them to become closed-minded. They feel like they have learned the hard way and start behaving like something they are not.

Dear Reader, Today's post isn't about trying to motivate or inspire. Instead, it's about expressing gratitude to you for visiting this blog and reading some of the things I share here. I don't consider myself the best writer in the world or someone whose articles are worth reading in a world where it seems like no one really gives a darn about content like this.

Last month, this blog recorded the highest number of views in 12 months since I started sharing ideas here in 2016. We had 15,905 views in June! We now have over 653,000 views globally. Here's the map: It means a lot to me and tells me that even though I may not know thousands of you personally, and even though most of you do not comment on these articles, many of you care about what is written here and many of you here also share these articles with friends and family from all over the

At every point in our lives, we should ask ourselves this question: "Where is my focus?" Knowing the answer is crucial to understanding our well-being and ultimate happiness. More often than not, we find ourselves focusing on the things that seem to go wrong in our lives. It is almost human nature to overlook what's going well and fixate on what's wrong. However, this habit is often detrimental to our well-being. While it's important to acknowledge what is wrong and desire improvement, we must be cautious not to let our lives revolve solely around our problems. This mindset is counterproductive to our overall well-being. Life is imperfect, and no aspect of it is expected to be perfect. Some areas may be flourishing while others may not be going as well. We have a choice: to either ignore the things going well and suffer by focusing on what's not working out, or to appreciate the positives and maintain a balanced perspective. When we focus on the negative, it g

Many people tackle their daily tasks with a burdened mind, driven by the notion that constant action equates to productivity. This mindset often stems from a sense of desperation, where inactivity is mistaken for laziness. The result? A frenetic pace of doing for the sake of doing, without giving thought to the quality or purpose of the actions. In this state, you might find yourself caught in a cycle of busyness, mistaking mere activity for meaningful progress. But it's possible to be very busy doing nothing of real value. When our minds are conditioned to prioritize relentless action, we miss out on the benefits of thoughtful deliberation. We're so consumed with "doing mode" that we neglect the calm, reflective side of ourselves. However, the highest quality work comes from a place of calm and careful consideration. When we approach tasks without the weight of pressure, we tap into a powerful state of relaxed focus. This doesn't mean shirking responsibilities or

Last Sunday, I had the opportunity to watch the movie "Atlas" with someone very dear to me. The movie is about a brilliant analyst named Atlas, who has a deep mistrust of AI but must work with it as her only chance to survive a deadly attack. The movie was really good, not just because it was interesting from start to finish, but also because of my interest in AI, the future of humans and AI, and the emotional connections formed in different aspects of the movie that I could relate to. Great acting from Jennifer Lopez, and I couldn't stop laughing at all the conversations she had with Smith during that time. Here are some of my favorite moments from the movie: 1. Discussion between General Boothe and Colonel Elias on Atlas Shepherd Elias was of the opinion that bringing in Atlas to their operation to stop Harlan (the AI that went rogue) was a spectacularly awful idea from the General whom he reports to. The General responded that Harlan is an existential threat and Atlas

  A little late this week, my apologies. I needed get permission from GoalCast, a media company to share this very inspiring video on my blog. This video inspired this entire post! Enjoy! True and lasting happiness isn't found by avoiding difficulties; it's found by conquering them. It's in the moments of struggle and perseverance that we discover our greatest strength and satisfaction. Consider Jessica Cox, a testament to the power of perseverance. Born without arms, she refused to be limited by circumstance. Instead, she embraced her challenges, becoming the world's first armless pilot and a black-belt in Taekwondo. Her story exemplifies the power of relentless action in the face of adversity. We all encounter problems that seem overwhelming. It's easy to feel defeated, but it's crucial to push through. Our ultimate happiness lies not in avoiding these obstacles, but in tackling them with determination. To achieve this happiness, setting goals and plans is ess

  What color do you see in the image above? Is it blue and black or gold and white? If you've never encountered this optical illusion before, you might be surprised to learn that people perceive different colors when looking at the same image. When I first saw the dress, I couldn't believe that others might see a different color than I did. It was astonishing to realize that people could see either blue and black or gold and white, even within the same family! That day, I learned an important lesson: even when observing the same thing, we can see it differently and be erroneously convinced that our perception is correct and what others see. This realization extends beyond our visual senses; it speaks to the diversity in our ways of thinking and understanding the world. Recently, I had a discussion with someone close to me. She was curious about why some things in life are more difficult for some people than for others. I hesitated to delve too deeply into the reasons, assuming

In the intricate dance of human relationships, trust emerges as a cornerstone, an invisible thread that holds people together. Yet, trust is often misunderstood. Many believe that trust requires extensive evidence, a certainty that things will always work out as hoped. However, true trust is about believing in the good, even when the outcome is uncertain. It’s a leap of faith that transcends the need for constant verification. Trust: A Leap Without Seeing At its core, trust is the belief in the goodness of something or someone, even when reality suggests that the outcome is not guaranteed. It is the willingness to place faith in a positive outcome without needing all the pieces of the puzzle in place. This doesn’t mean ignoring red flags or blatant negative signs, but rather, it is about maintaining a positive belief when there is no concrete evidence to support it. When we trust, we choose to believe in the potential for good. We embrace the uncertainty with an optimistic heart, under
