  • Niceness vs. Kindness.

    Niceness differs from kindness. When you’re nice, you act outwardly pleasant and flexible, but you’re not always good to yourself. When you’re nice, you walk the path of least resistance, the path that complies with the outside world but neglects the inside world. But when you’re kind, you’re good to yourself and you’re fair to…

  • Stop Being So Fake.

    The concept of someone giving their best self to those who they are closest with, but not offering acquaintances the same treatment, is more commonly thought of and socially accepted than the reverse. But the reverse exists and is quite common. We like to think of ourselves as people who treat our dearest loved ones…

  • Parenting from Within.

    People always say that their child(ren) is a blessing. People always say that becoming a parent is the best thing that has ever happened to them; the best decision they have ever made. We hear so many people proclaim that parenting is worthwhile and, if they had the chance, they would never go back. However,…

  • You Decide.

    The Law of Attraction has become very popular; we hear about it often. We watch videos on YouTube that teach us how to apply this principle into our own life, so we too can experience abundance. We see people publicly identify with this principle on social media as the source of their happiness, wealth, and…

  • It’s Not Me, It’s You.

    Sometimes certain things should be said, or certain messages should be believed, but we hesitate to do so because of the societal meaning that has been attached to that message. The truth is that – for many messages – the problem is not the message itself, but the meaning that has been attached to it.…

  • What’s Wrong with You?

    There is a thick line between being self-critical and inherently knowing what is wrong with you. The former should be avoided; the latter should be welcomed. The former is negative, self-perpetuating, self-sabotaging, and anxiety based; the latter has the potential to be a profound catalyst of positive change. Although it is common for us to…

  • Identity Confusion.

    A lot of us believe that we live in a simulated reality in which we receive and experience input that is aligned with our output. A lot of us proclaim that we believe in The Law of Attraction or align ourselves with the Universal Laws. But not a lot of us treat our personal life…

  • Anger as a Sign of Weakness.

    Anger and aggressivity are commonly thought of as masculine traits. There exists a double standard that aggressive men are masculine, strong, sexy, and confident; whereas aggressive women are too masculine. The purpose of this post is not to differentiate nor divide men and women; nor it exists in order to support feminist theories. Because, the…

  • Love is…Everything.

    People are often mistaken in believing there are many different types of love, and that some of these types supersede others in terms of significance. This could not be further from the truth. Although we have relationships with some people that are more intimate than others, love – in its entirely – is a powerful…
