When are we most proud of ourselves? It is on those moments when we have done something ourselves that requires effort and hard work. The joy comes from our own notion that we have excelled ourselves. We did something that was hard or even unthinkable some time ago. And most of all we did it [...]

Often we feel that we are treated unfairly or something hap-
pens that we do not accept as fair. What is fair and what is
not?
Life is neither fair nor unfair. It’s beyond the concept of
“rightness.” It does not judge or prefer anything or anyone—
it just simply is. How can we still feel that we are [...]

We want to be in control. We are not comfortable with
unpredictability. We would prefer to live in a predictable,
ordinary way, without any surprises. This is the underlying
assumption in our behavior.
Predictable, controllable life, however, is an oxymoron. We
hate to change, but on the other hand we long for excitement
and thrills. We want to be positively [...]

We love to fixate. We are afraid of new, unknown things.
Being novel is maybe the most difficult thing to do. A physi-
cal appearance is easy to observe and, therefore, the most vis-
ible way to see the patterns and changes, if there are any.
Some people never change their hairstyle during their entire
lifetime (and they do not [...]

Process is something that is not permanent and it serves a
specific purpose. It is not the end means but just a way to
carry out something.
We could be seen as a set of processes. Our physical body
changes over time. It creates new cells and destroys the old ones.
It is in a continuous process of keeping [...]

Flow of time is an illusion. Time is motion. It has a dura-
tion—a measurement of motion from one point to another.
Quantum mechanics do not behave this way and, therefore,
Einstein was more than a bit upset: “God does not play dice
with the universe.”
The paradox is that we are always in motion—if not phys-
ically at least [...]

Why do we fear everything that is unfamiliar to us (or, to put
it differently, why are we uncomfortable with something
new?)? Actually, how is it possible to fear something that is
not known to us (i.e., understandable, defined, strange)?
We do not. We are only afraid of the things we know and
have—we have nothing against the unknown. [...]

Recently I have started to consider the difficulties people have with change. With companies it’s simpler - you just change the management, company name and sometimes even the line of business—a complete renewal. Most of the same is possible for people as well. Physically our bodies tolerate different life habits, styles, cultures, and climate—even harsh [...]

Motivation is an external, temporary high that pushes you forward. Inspiration is a sustainable internal glow which pulls you forward.
Thomas Leonard
Are you in the internal or external loop? I believe that we can only concentrate on one thing at the time. An Internal loop means that you’re improving or working with your current existence either [...]

No matter what you believe, it doesn’t change the facts.
- Al Kersha
I played with a thought that we live our lives in batches. Once in a while something big happens and we change the course of our life either professionally or personally. On those moments we are in tangent with the reality. Either by forced [...]
