What is your salary? Are you happy with it?

Image
"If salary or money were the sole factors that brought happiness, billionaires would undoubtedly be the happiest people on the planet. But are they?" Having said that, I am immensely content with my life and the extent of my achievements in every aspect. Allow me to share the dreams I have realized with my current salary: 1. Can we have all the Maggie or chips?  During my childhood, my younger brother and I would spend countless hours imagining a world where we could indulge in an unlimited supply of our favorite snack, Uncle Chips. We would sit together, mouths watering, as we envisioned stacks upon stacks of crispy, savory goodness filling our pantry. The mere thought of never running out of those delectable chips seemed like the pinnacle of happiness. Fast forward to today, where I can now afford to purchase as many bags of Maggie noodles or chips as my heart desires. Yet, surprisingly, my taste has evolved, and my once insatiable craving for those familiar snacks has dimi

Taking Control of Your Time: Designing a Life You Want

Image
Have you ever found yourself caught in a repetitive cycle, where the things you want to prioritize take a back seat to the demands of daily life? You wake up with good intentions, hoping to get fit in a workout session, prepare a healthy breakfast, spend quality time with your loved ones, and get enough rest. Yet, day after day, these aspirations are overshadowed by compromises and postponed indefinitely. The result? A feeling of dissatisfaction and a lack of control over your own time. In this typical routine, we can observe a recurring pattern: the person's desires and priorities clash with the reality of their daily commitments. Despite the intention to prioritize activities like exercise, breakfast preparation, family time, and sufficient sleep, these aspects consistently take a back seat. The routine becomes a cycle of compromises and postponements, leaving the individual feeling unfulfilled. But what controls our choices if it's not us? Many people attribute their lack of

Unlocking the Power of Consistency and Planning for Unparalleled Success

Image
In the pursuit of success, there is one indispensable principle that reigns supreme: consistent and planned efforts. When we dedicate ourselves to our goals with unwavering commitment, the stage is set for extraordinary achievements. The true beauty lies in the element of surprise, as the results we attain often surpass our wildest expectations. Take, for example, the legendary Olympian Michael Phelps. As he embarked on his rigorous training regime, he set his sights on greatness. Little did he know that his unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence would lead him to become the most decorated Olympian in history, with a staggering 23 gold medals and 28 overall medals to his name. When Phelps was in the pool, tirelessly putting in the laps and honing his technique, he may not have imagined the incredible feat he would ultimately achieve. It was his consistent and planned efforts, day in and day out, that propelled him towards such unparalleled success. Each stroke, each

The Power of Connection: Fostering Mind-Muscle Connection in Fitness

Image
Introduction In our quest for physical fitness, we often encounter questions about why we choose to go to the gym. Some argue that working out at home or engaging in physically demanding jobs can also contribute to our overall fitness. While these activities undoubtedly have their merits, they lack a crucial element: a deep connection with ourselves. In this article, we will explore the concept of mind-muscle connection and its significance in fostering a stronger bond with our bodies. We will delve into the benefits of dedicating time solely for ourselves, away from distractions, and the profound impact it can have on our overall well-being. The Power of Mind-Muscle Connection: When we engage in activities like cooking or working while walking, we may be physically active, but our attention is divided. We rarely focus on how our legs move or which body parts experience stress. However, the gym offers a unique environment that allows us to fully immerse ourselves in our bodies. This is

Embracing the Immaterial: Exploring the Deeper Meaning of Life

Image
Introduction: Have you ever considered the meaning of the word "immaterial"? It turns out that this term holds two intriguing definitions. On one hand, it refers to things we often overlook or disregard. On the other hand, it represents a simpler notion - the non-material. In this blog, we'll delve into the world of the non-material and explore its profound significance in our lives. So, let's embark on a journey that transcends the boundaries of the physical and takes us to the realm of feelings, emotions, and the intangible aspects of existence. Taking a Broader Perspective: In our fast-paced lives, we often get caught up in the specifics, losing sight of the bigger picture. But what if we zoom out and embrace a wider view of life? This blog is tailored for those who seek a broader perspective, those who yearn for a deeper understanding beyond the mundane. Together, let's shift our focus from the minutiae and delve into the realms of the abstract and profound. M

Rethinking Happiness: Prioritizing Time over Money for a Fulfilling Life

Image
"I will go on a world tour when I make X amount of money" and "I will retire after the age of 40, then all my problems will go away" are common claims that people make. However, the reality is that achieving these goals doesn't guarantee happiness or a reduction in misery. Often, these claims serve as excuses for missing out on important occasions in their lives. For instance, someone might postpone attending a close friend's wedding or skip a family gathering because they believe they need to work harder to achieve their financial goals. They convince themselves that once they have reached a certain level of wealth or success, they will have more time to enjoy life and be present for these special moments. However, the reality is that life is unpredictable, and these missed opportunities cannot be regained. By prioritizing money over meaningful experiences, individuals may find themselves regretting the moments they let slip away in pursuit of an elusive fu
