10 timeless ideas to instantly strengthen you...

 Read this once for a pick-me-up.

Re-read it daily to realise your fullest potential.
⚡️ Nothing can hurt you when you know you have nothing to protect.

Self-esteem is an illusion.

You can’t damage what is made up.

You are unfathomably bigger than the idea you hold of yourself in your mind.
⚡️ You were already a success the day you were born.

Life is a miracle, and getting here means you already won.

Allow the time you’re alive in the world to play, to create and to thrive from a position of realised strength.
⚡️ Any criticism you receive may seem like an attack, but the perpetrator is always attacking themselves.

It is always a projection rooted in personal insecurity.

It is never about you.

They are resisting their thoughts about you, not you.
⚡️ The ‘stress’ you feel is you responding to your thoughts and feeling your thoughts physically.

The idea that something external caused your stress is a mirage.

You have it within you right now to let go of the seriousness of your thoughts and to empower yourself.
⚡️ Very little can faze you when - after every perceived setback - you ask yourself this:

‘How can I use this?

How does this strengthen me?

What have I learned from this?

How can this drive me forward with double the ferocity?’
⚡️ Happiness is not something you wait for.

It is a choice.

You might not see it now, but if you are open to this, you will see it and your spirits will rise.
⚡️ The secret no one dares share is that you are creating everything.

You are the root of this entire experience.

You are composed of the same creative force driving the continual expansion of the Universe.
Your mind is a projector, not a receiver.

You are connected to it all and you create it all.

Act like it.
⚡️ You have everything you need right now.

You will not get it from any job, person, experience, purchase, or ‘success’.

You have it. All else is a bonus.

Have fun knowing you already have what you’re looking for.
⚡️ The idea that life should be a struggle is societal programming.

You can experience joy, peace and energy right now, every day, for the rest of your life.
This comes with a willingness to use pain creatively and continually let go of the idea that what’s happening is not to your liking.
⚡️ You lower yourself when you embody the figure of a poor victim.

You’re not at the mercy of them, what happened, or even your own thoughts.
You must move on now.

Don’t buy into the cutesy stuff about needing more ‘self-love’ - this is unnecessary and self-absorbed.

You are already made of love.

You needn’t look inward, and you don’t need ‘fixing.’
You need to get up, stand up straight, and embody your powerful self.

You need to get out there and improve someone else’s life.

To forget yourself is to realise your greatest strength.

The 8 traits of the most fearless people:

Fear and I have formed a very intimate relationship over the years.

When Valentines comes around, we even like to share gifts.

I never used to like Fear.

In fact, I believed her to be intrusive and, quite frankly, rude

But now our connection is stronger than ever.

She has taught me more than I could ever ask for.

I learned what it means to navigate the world boldly.

Here are the 8 traits of the most fearless people:

1. They use Fear as a guide.

Frightened people and fearless people use fear very differently.

Those running scared see fear as an indication of what to avoid.

14 tips for masterful writing you won’t find in any writing manual

- thread -

Fourteen years of writing online, mostly crap, with a few gems, has taught me much.

You will not read this in any formal writing guide.

Enter at your own risk...

1. Don’t share if it’s not awkward.

Share pieces that make you a little nervous.

We live at a time where few speak the truth for fear of being politically incorrect.

The messages we see in the media and lots of content are smothered in delusion, wrapped in an additional layer of bullshit.

People are ravenous for honesty. Say what few dare say.

Don’t get yourself banned - tread with awareness and grace - but don’t let that be an excuse to avoid being real.

Readers flock to those with courage.

10 tiny behaviour shifts that will raise your mood by 93% (i’m not even kidding)

1. Slow down a fraction.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: slowing down makes life easier and thus more enjoyable.

This doesn’t mean pottering along like a sad little tortoise.

I mean going fractionally slower so that you can view life in full 4K, not black and white like everyone else.

In a world where everyone is rushing around, this gives you a wicked advantage.

2. Be goofy.

Most of us shuffle around with a stick up our ass, wondering why life’s so hard.

YOU made it hard, dum dum.

You gotta be loose and fun to experience a looser, funner life.

The reason people are all serious around you is because of you.

You created this reality.

Create a fun frame, and people will leap into it.

You’ll feel like a badass chimp with a zest for the good life.

11 tiny habits that lose you respect:

Decades of awkwardness compelled me to learn and understand what connects us to one another and what pushes us apart.

People make judgements extremely quickly about the kind of person we are.

This means there are subtle changes we all can make that impact how others see us.

Let's go:

1. Too fast to agree.

If I'm speaking with someone, and they nod along enthusiastically to all that I say, and they rarely disagree, I can't help but lose interest.

This doesn't mean you need to be combative and unpleasant.

But agreeing to everything and everyone is like adding water to paint.

It dilutes who you are in my eyes.

How to Win (without talent or luck):

Operate in Your Zone of Genius

Your Zone of Genius is where your interests, passions and skills align.

Operating in your Zone of Genius means playing games you are uniquely well-suited to win.

Once you identify it, you can stop playing *their* games and start playing *yours*.

Adopt a Positive Sum Mentality

Want to get ahead in life? Start genuinely rooting for others to succeed.

When one of us wins, we all win—winning spreads.

If you adopt that mentality, you’ll become a magnet for the highest quality people.

Speak Up

Closed mouths don’t get fed.

A little push goes a long way. Don't sit back and wait for good things to happen.

If you want something—and you’ve put in the work for it—ask for it.

Worst case: you’re told no and nothing has changed.

Best case: it’s yours.

Play Long-Term Games

Life is the ultimate long game.

Those with low time preference play it more effectively—they happily delay gratification to allow compounding to work its magic.

In a world of people seeking instant gratification, this is a meaningful edge.

The most powerful paradoxes of life:

The Persuasion Paradox

Have you noticed that the most argumentative people rarely persuade anyone?

The most persuasive people don’t argue—they observe, listen, and ask questions.

Argue less, persuade more.

Persuasion is an art that requires a paintbrush, not a sledgehammer.

The Effort Paradox

You have to put in more effort to make something appear effortless.

Effortless, elegant performances are often the result of a large volume of effortful, gritty practice.

Small things become big things. Simple is not simple.

The Wisdom Paradox

“The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.” — Albert Einstein

The more you learn, the more you are exposed to the immense unknown.

This should be empowering, not frightening.

Embrace your own ignorance. Embrace lifelong learning.

The Growth Paradox

Growth takes a much longer time coming than you think, and then it happens much faster than you ever would have thought.

Growth happens gradually, then suddenly.

When you realize this, you start to do things differently.

10 Biases That You Need To Understand

= THREAD =


1. Anchoring bias

This is when you base all your decisions on the first information you receive

If I told you my service was $1000

Then you came back a week later and I said $500 you would think you were getting a deal

You can use this to sell your product to anyone

2. Availability heuristic bias

You overestimate the importance of the mainstream media

People make decisions based more on stories and news than real information

If people see there is a problem with public school

Then they will start homeschooling their children

3. Bandwagon bias

You will believe something not because of what you believe but because you want to be part of the majority

This is dangerous

Avoid groupthink and speak up in situations where you feel pressured to agree with everyone else

4. Choice supportive bias

You have the tendency to defend something just because you chose it

Think about IPhone users

They only see the good and avoid the negative sides

If you avoid this you can use it as an advantage to those who can’t

Don’t be a consumer, be a creator

Dhanwanthary Moorthy temple in Nelluvai is one among the ancient temples in Kerala.

Santkumaras-The four adorable kids of the Universe.

The Kumaras r the four sages who roam the Universe as children from the Puranic texts of Hinduism named,Sanaka, Sanatana,Sanandana& Sanatkumara.They r described as the first mind-born creations &sons of the creator God Brahma.


Brahma,who had received the knowledge of Puranas from the Universal being(God Himself), imbibed this to his 4 Kumaras.
Sanat Kumaras then taught the Puranas to Narada.Narada transmitted it to Krishna Dwaipayana who in turn scripted them in monumental epic documents of 18 Puranas.

The Vishnu Purana is recorded in two parts,the Vishnu Purana & Naradiya Purana.The teachings of Sanaka of the Kumara brothers r contained in the Naradiya Purana which is also divided in two parts, the first part containing the teachings of Sanaka &second part,teachings of others.


Born from Brahma's mind,4 Kumars took lifelong vows of celibacy against their father's wishes.They r said to wander throughout materialistic &spiritualistic universe without any desire but with the aim to teach.All 4 brothers studied Vedas from their Childhood&travelled together.


The Bhagwata Purana lists the Kumaras among the 12 Mahajanas(great devotees or bhaktas) who although being eternally liberated souls from birth, still became attracted to the devotional service of Vishnu from their already enlightened state.

November is here, and that means a massive shift is coming. And by "massive" I am of course referring to the redefinition of the kilogram unit of mass that the world has been building up to for more than 100 years. Let me explain:


1/ I've had an unhealthy fascination with metrology (the study of measurement) ever since my 2nd year as a physics major when I took a class devoted to duplicating historic physics experiments, so please indulge me for going into heavy detail (get it?) about the kilogram.

2/ So what actually *defines* a unit of measurement? If you're American, you probably know a mile is 5280 feet and a foot is 12 inches and an inch is 2.54 centimeters etc. But where does this chain of definitions end? Is it turtles all the way down?

3/ It's actually not! For all units (even the imperial units used in America) the answers all end with the Système International (SI) unit definitions established and maintained for over 100 years by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIMP) in France.

4/ At the base of this tower are the SI base units. Just 7 SI base units define every other unit in existence. They are:

Kilogram, kg (mass)
Meter, m (distance)
Second, s (time)
Kelvin, K (temp)
Ampere, A (electric current)
Candela, cd (luminous intensity)
Mole, mol (quantity)
