Embrace your duality
We humans are fascinatingly complex. We often ignore the fact that our brains have both emotional and logical sides, each trying to help us in its own way. Recognizing and accepting this duality can be a game-changer for achieving peace and calm in our lives.
Imagine this: Your ego wants to prove a point to those who have hurt you. It drives your actions, pushing you to show your worth. Instead of fighting this ego, what if you accepted it? Understand that your ego is trying to protect your potential. By embracing it, you can use its energy positively without labeling yourself as egotistical.
On the flip side, your logical brain might criticize you for being too ego-driven. Instead of feeling bad, appreciate this logical side for keeping you grounded and balanced.
By acknowledging and accepting both your emotional and logical sides, you can find a harmonious balance. This practice can lead to a more peaceful and fulfilling life, no matter how challenging things get. So, give it a try—explore, practice, and meditate on this idea. You might be surprised at the peace it brings.

Book Review - Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza
One of the foundational concepts in the book is that our personality traits are not fixed. Dispenza explains that once we understand the science behind why we are the way we are, it becomes clear that we can recreate ourselves. This realization is both empowering and liberating.
Navigation lights for life
Yesterday I heard various one liners which I think will help all of us. Most of them were regarding anxiety and loneliness; there is no new info there. But reiterating the same heard lines of advice may seep through the thick wall of our ego at some point in the future.
Beliefs, Validation and Kindness
I was at work. I was browsing a news website. A colleague walked in unannounced. He saw my screen and said “yaane aap congress wale ho” (So, this means you are a congress supporter!). His tone was almost accusatory. This was not the first time someone had classified me in this po...
Subtract human voices and what do you hear!
