" FIGHT THE ENEMY WITHIN "

 "Make sure your worst enemy doesn't live between your own two ears."




-Laird Hamilton


Conquering fear is important, especially now. We live in an interconnected world where the social pressure to conform to the norm is practically demanded from us. Many talented people take their talents with them to the grave because they are afraid to follow their dreams.


One of the main reasons is because of what we have learned from other people. From a young age, we are taught to be normal and follow the conventional circle of life: not to stand out, get an education, a safe job, get married and buy a house. We believe that it is so important to follow this path, that we are terrified to do something else.


For example, if you do not like your job, you live with constant stress. That impacts your mood, ambition, and above all, your health. Stress has severe consequences for our body.


Most of us spend our lives running from our fears. Conquering fear is liberating, and this new freedom will give you the energy to give back to the people you love.


The good news is that this is a simple skill. But similar to mastering every skill, it takes practice and the right set oftools. Everything starts with one realization: fear is a choice.


Research shows that 65% of our thoughts are negative and staying positive in today's world is almost a full-time job. You just have to turn on the TV, or open a news app on your smartphone, and you are confronted with fear-inducing messages instantly. We hear that the economy is bad, people are dying and about companies going bust. The general tone of the news is negative, which I understand.


Not everything that happens is pretty, but one thing is certain: the situation we find ourselves in is not because of external factors. We do not depend on our circumstances, so why do we let circumstances influence our lives? Fear of the bad economy, traffic accidents, or serial killers should not control our actions. After all, we do not control these things. However, we do have control over our actions and how we respond to life.

" FINDING YOUR PURPOSE "

 Remember: purpose is a decision. No one is born with a purpose. It's something we decide. Here's a question for you: What are you? I'm not talking about your job title. What's your life about? Answer that, and you will have your purpose. But most of us don't have the answer to that simple question. We tend to overcomplicate things. But it's actually very simple. Will Smith put it best when he was asked about this subject in an interview: "Just decide what it's going to be, who you're going to be, how you're going to do it." Decide. Go out. Do it. And don't look back. If you lack inspiration, and can't answer that question, you need more input. You can't expect to get output (purpose) without input. You don't know your purpose because you're not aware of it. That's all. Don't make things more complicated than they are. And don't try to force it to come out of you. Here are two ways to stimulate input: 1. Expo

Today, I experienced something new and profound.

 Today, I experienced something new and profound. There's a temple under construction for the past three months, and work is still ongoing. When I visited today, I saw an old man and his grandson ringing the temple bell. Interestingly, there was no statue, no painted stone, or any sign that indicated the presence of a deity. Anyone visiting might be confused and wonder if there was ever a temple there. Yet, the old man and his grandson believed deeply that God was present and they prayed with devotion. This taught me an important lesson: "When I see a temple, I greet it with the belief that God is there." But observing these people praying in the absence of a physical deity made me realize that God resides within us. We see God because we carry Him in our hearts. A temple is a place where we reflect the divinity within us. God lives inside us first, and then we place Him in the temple stones. We wish for things from the God within us, not the one carved in stone. The ston
