A lesson I wish I learned earlier:
18th May 2025 It’s perfectly ok to live a life that’s confusing to others. Go to bed at 10. Wake up at 5. Eat real foods. Go on long walks. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Don’t gossip. Enjoy your favourite drink alone. Listen to some good old fashioned classical music. Go to the […]
Stop Comparing
16th May 2025 Comparison is the thief of joy.” ~Theodore Roosevelt I’ve lived most of my life comparing myself to others. At first, it was school and sports. But as I got older, I began comparing other metrics: work, income level, house size, and worldly successes. I have discovered there is an infinite number of […]
Cut your losses
14th May 2025 The film was dire. After an hour, I whispered to my wife: “Come on, let’s go home.” She replied: “No way. We’re not throwing away three hundred bucks.” “That’s no reason to stay,” I protested. “The money’s already gone.” This is the sunk cost fallacy at work—a thinking error! She glared at […]
Whatever happens is for good
10th May 2025 In life, with all the problems we face, we fail to realise that most problems are a blessing in disguise. We will never know, we will never feel it because our mind isn’t trained to see the best in the worst. Everything is a test, and each of them teaches us a […]
Anti Goals
5th May 2025 I came across the intriguing concept of “Anti-goals” from a book I was recently reading and it entirely changed my framework of setting goals. Anti-goals are things you deliberately choose not to do or be, serving as a framework for defining what you want to avoid in order to achieve your desired […]
The Five paths
4th May 2025 The destination may be the same but the journey we each follow is different, learning different things along the way. We are meant to enjoy the journey but we remain focusssed on the destination. Five men stood at the edge of confusion, deep in an unfamiliar forest. The first trusted his gut […]
The Law of Least Effort!
3rd May 2025 The fourth spiritual law of success expounded by Deepak Chopra is ‘the Law of Least Effort.’ This law is based on the fact that nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease and abandoned carefree. This is the principle of least action, of no resistance. This is, therefore, the principle of harmony and love. […]
David Vs Goliath – Attitude matters
2nd May 2025 I love this quote: “Some people see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not?” The story of David and Goliath is one of the most iconic and celebrated tales from the Old Testament. Virtually everyone vaguely acquainted with Bible stories knows that […]
The Streetlight Effect
1st May 2025 There’s an old story that goes something like this: A drunk man is searching for his lost keys under a streetlight. A cop walks by and asks what he’s doing. “Looking for my keys,” the man replies. “Did you lose them here?” “No, but this is where the light […]

Generation Alpha represents a significant evolution in human experience. Unlike before, Alphas have never known a world of scarcity, or one without smartphones, […]
