Only dead fish go with the flow… We all complain at some point about something: we want more money, better health, no longer being alone, etc. This complaining attitude is also synonymous with passivity: by focusing on what we don’t have, we forget what we already have, and this can paralyze our actions. Complaining is like being that dead fish…

The ability to attract is praised both in psychology and management magazines. Once considered a sin or a transgression—didn’t the serpent seduce Eve and Adam, or didn’t Paris seduce Helen, leading to the Trojan War?—today, seduction is yet another tool in the arsenal of power. Robert Greene, the author of “The Art of Seduction,” expressed it well in his book:…

According to Catholic doctrine, there are said to be 7 deadly sins: lust, spiritual sloth (acedia), anger, envy, gluttony, pride, and greed. Let’s focus on the latter. Why have our societies become so greedy? Why have more noble values been substituted for this one? Greed appears when God disappears Greed is the feeling of never having enough, of always wanting…

Whether we call it confidence, happiness, well-being, or serenity, what we are fundamentally referring to is a certain notion of energy. The happier we are, the more we tend to move towards higher energy spheres. In his book “Power vs. Force,” David R. Hawkins explains this. He even precisely outlines the hierarchy of emotions. Our choices are conditioned by this…

Living on autopilot is so common that we often overlook the beauty of everyday things. Automatic thinking is necessary because the work world demands a lot from us, starting with impeccable efficiency and productivity. To be effective, one must focus on one thing and ignore everything else. Yet, our ability to focus is intimately linked to our ability to relax.…

If we take a look at social media, we will quickly realize that what is shown to us is primarily the material success of others. We see few people showcasing their poverty or misery. Conversely, it’s much harder to find videos of wise or spiritual people sharing their worldly knowledge. It all depends on the algorithm, you might say how…

We all need love to live, and without this ingredient, we wither like dried flowers. Our soul needs love, and it partly comes from the people who love us. What we don’t realize is that we are strong because of the love given to us selflessly. Out of ignorance, we believe we are stronger than we actually are, and it…

Citizens of developed countries have gradually moved away from the quest for soul improvement. The very term “soul” is no longer used, such that the concept has vanished from people’s minds and hearts. For some, it is merely a philosophical idea; for others, it’s an outdated relic that doesn’t really belong in the “modern” era. Yet, the soul very much…

Patience may be one of the finest human qualities, yet it is undervalued, probably because it is silent and its fruits take time to appear. The values of immediacy vs. the values of certainty “Everything comes in its own time to the person who can wait.” – François Rabelais What dominates our choices are impulses, emotion, and the quick…

The main disorders of the soul stem from an overly present ego. The ego causes us more suffering than necessary because it disconnects us from the absolute truth, which states that there is no fundamental difference between us and others, and that ultimately, we are all connected to one another. This truth, of course, is not accessible or tangible to…
