August 04, 2021Trying To Do It All Yourself
Trusting yourself and being self-sufficient are not mutually exclusive from asking for help. But there is a big difference between being someone who asks for help because you’ve become dependent on others for validation, and someone who does their part and recognizes where they need help.
Imagine a world where people were self-sufficient AND embraced the interconnectedness of humanity.
There is great value in being aware of where your strengths and weaknesses are. It shows you where you can help and illuminates where you can give someone else the opportunity to help.
“Don’t be ashamed of needing help. You have a duty to fulfill just like a soldier on the wall of battle. So what if you are injured and can’t climb up without another soldier’s help?” - Marcus Aurelius

August 03, 2021Trust Yourself
Zen’s style of action is to enter everything wholeheartedly without having to keep an eye on itself. This is what it is to have trust.
There is great value in believing in yourself. If you cannot trust yourself, you cannot really trust anyone.
Trusting yourself is not necessarily for the faint of heart. Those courageous enough to do so create a very fulfilling and meaningful life because they become sincere in their expression rather than living in a delusion of performance trying to appease everyone around them.
It can be difficult and feel foggy at times. Remember to just breathe and listen to what you’re feeling in the moment.
When you have emotions come up, ask them what they’re trying to tell you. Trying to get rid of them is an expression of distrust towards yourself and removes your sense of autonomy.
Remember if you’re going to say yes to an opportunity. Make sure you’re saying yes to yourself first.

When you are mindful about your own balance in life, you reduce the chance of your mess falling into someone else’s path.
Being self-sufficient allows you a greater capability to help others, as you can’t pour water from an empty pitcher.
The most valuable investment you could make is in yourself. You only experience life through your own perception. You’re of little use to the world if you do not develop yourself towards your potential.

July 29, 2021Audience Q&A: How do I find my purpose or passion in life?
Pay attention to the problems in life that stir up unpleasant emotions within you! This is where your purpose can be uncovered. Unpleasant feelings are most abundant in raw material for creativity! They point us in the direction of solving problems in a unique way that may eventually become valuable to others.
Pay attention to the activities that feel like play or feel effortless to you.
Fall in love with the process. Orient passion and purpose around a process you feel strong and fulfilled in. Obsessing about the outcome of your passion or purpose will only cause you to become lost.
Love your path! All of it, the good, the bad, pleasant, and unpleasant. It is the path you chose. You must play the hand of cards life gave you. You don’t play any better by looking at the cards of others or wishing your cards were different. You play best when you don’t just play your cards, but love and embrace the hand you got!

July 28, 2021The Gossip Trap
We’re all guilty of this to some degree. In a world where everyone’s business is all over the internet, the temptation to talk about someone behind their back seems higher than ever. But not just talking behind people’s back, sometimes it's directly too while wielding the mighty keyboard via the comments or DMs.
As we learn more about philosophy and its place in the world, we start to see people and things in our lives differently than we used to. Suddenly what is wrong with our own environment and the people in it becomes much more obvious.
Gossip can be a guilty pleasure or an opportunity for self-reflection. Judgments on the surface seem to be wrong, but they can also be a signal to us! If we are able to catch ourselves in the midst of judging someone else, it can reveal to us something incredibly valuable that we would have never seen otherwise!
The most self-aware people are NOT those who express their knowledge for attention and act the most righteous, but rather those who use their knowledge to self-reflect and become better people.
It’s easy to feel better about ourselves by pointing out the faults in others. Sometimes it makes us feel like by doing so, we move further away from the faults we’re judging. But what if we were using the judgment of others as a defense mechanism? What if it was causing us to be even more disconnected from who we are and how we feel?
“Let philosophy scrape off your own faults, rather than be a way to rail against the faults of others.” -Seneca
