Some personal qualities to learn from the Rio Olympics 2016
Thursday, August 18th, 2016
The Rio Olympics of 2016 are filled with excitement as we see great feats of skill, strength, endurance and determination. We almost find ourselves in the same shoes as the olympian who crosses the 100m line to break the world record or the frustration of the high jumper who hits the bar on the third time.
Reach greatness in your own field
I find it particularly fascinating to watch the short interviews that take place after an event, it reveals their thinking and often the purpose of why they go through such enduring hardship to reach the top. If we take mankind as a whole, we have excelled at being the masters of our world and we have a deep craving for progress and what lies ahead. This is so true for anyone who competes for a medal in the world cup.
Maybe to a lesser extent, we all have a deep sense of purpose and achievement that we strive for and the perception of how we internalize these feelings can propel us forward or keep as stagnant. We can associate all the athletes that participate in the Olympics have gone through gruelling exercise and constant practise along with much sacrifices to reach the pinnacle of their sport. Why do they do that? To many of us we cannot imagine being subject to the same constant routine day after day to just to get the satisfaction of having 1 billion people or so watching you hold your medal.
If we take that same philosophy of thinking to heart and apply it to our daily lives we should theoretically also achieve greatness in our endeavors. But many will forgo that desire to be ‘great’ because the ‘struggle’ and ‘sacrifice’ is far too much to bear in the pursuit of that goal. Nevertheless the sense of high achievement and greatness has never come without a price. But I would say to those naysayers that when you are living the dream and greatness the slog and effort that one tends to think is not the way one thinks. In fact, if those people did not ‘enjoy’ or feel ‘fulfilled’, they would not be able to maintain the path they put themselves through.
The ‘euphoria’ of living your dreams propels one to a new level of thinking where the tasks does not seem like tasks at all but inches them towards glory.

Listening to your inner voice in the dating scene
Wednesday, May 16th, 2012
No doubt you have heard of the classical advice when it comes to dating and this ‘just be yourself’. There is more to these words then meets the eye and this is the inner voice that is inside all of us. Being yourself, implies that you are at your own being at the moment of time and the conversation that will naturally flow through you while you are with your dating partner. On the other hand, if the conversation is not going well as expected, this could also be a sign of a mismatch.

There are very good reasons for why our instincts and inner voice should be something to pay attention to and as many philosophers including the modern thinkers of today have also come to the realization of the importance of harnessing these powerful signals. Like the famous quantum activist Dr. Amit Goswami would say ‘be-do-be-do-be-do…’.
In essence being yourself and then doing follows the natural invisible hidden forces that moves all of us in a particular direction. By tapping into this energy allows us to accomplish higher goals, something which many modern philosophers believe today. As a consequence of this state of mind, we also happen to tap into a far more underlying force that can guide us in a way that we never thought possible. If we are awake to this mode, we also have continued signals coming via an ‘inner voice’ which steers us in the right path and one that ultimately benefit us.
The ‘inner voice’ will point out facts that are not obvious but they instinctively pop into your head of some particular event or even a flag that warns us of the dangers ahead. In dating and from our previous discussion on ‘conversation and assertion..’ relies indirectly on this important fact. You inevitably find some signals which may be opposite and contrary to your listener’s thoughts but they are all designed to benefit or protect you and one has a duty to act upon them. When you come across feelings such as this, try to nurture it and pay attention and see if you should take more actions than usual as a result of it.
