The folly of seeking happiness in the 'Rat Race'

Ever wondered what is this 'Rat Race'? Well this video provides a good idea. Many of us can relate to this depiction for the answer. We run in the race because of FOMO (fear of missing out). How can we escape the Rat Race? Simple. Don't run in the race, but what does that imply? We can escape if we focus on our needs rather than wants, because our needs are limited, whereas our wants are infinite. Our inner being speaks to us, telling us what really appeals to us, suits us a

May laugh at the old, but never at the young.

Experience and knowledge which usually comes with age and tells us what has happened. So we form strong opinions on what works and what does not, what is good or what is bad. We become fixed in our mind and we rigidly assume what happened in the past will happen in the future. In a sense we believe we have arrived at that intellectual destination where we smugly feel that we need little or no new learning. Almost impossible for adults to imagine a future much different from t

What really is Experience, and its importance to Success?

All individuals that achieve success, commit errors, even blunders. Success or failure occurs only when we do something. If we are not making mistakes, we are probably not making anything. Fearful of failure, most of us dare not do anything. We often forget that, the path to success and happiness always passes through numerous disappointments, setbacks and failures. It can easily take ten years of hard struggle, mistakes and failures to become an overnight success. It is only

The eighth wonder, is swallowing the world.

There is so much beauty, and wonder in the universe, but it seems, we spend most of our lives, wondering, 'What is wrong with the world?' Nothing and yet everything. Nothing is wrong with Nature and Creation, its exquisite and unfathomable. So what we do not understand, we condemn. Humankind, now that is a completely different matter, for here, everything seems to be wrong. Which leads us to the question, 'What is the root cause of all that is wrong?' The 'will to power', the

Please, hold my hand.

Many years ago, a friend shared an anecdote with me. Which I now recall every 'Father's day'. A little girl was walking along a path with her father, when they came to a rickety and treacherous bridge. Instinctively the father stretched out his hand to his daughter and said; "Here, take my hand." The daughter replied; "No father, you please hold my hand." The father was confused, "What is the difference, whether you hold my hand or I hold yours?" The little girl smilingly sai

Swing at the End of the World

Deep in the Ecuadorian wilderness is a seismic monitoring station in a tree, known as Casa del Arbol. Its location is 8530.184 feet (2,600 meters) above sea level and the purpose is to observe Mt. Tungurahua, the nearby active volcano, from its precarious perch. While the treehouse itself is a sight to behold, the real attraction is the swing hanging from one of the tree’s skinny branches, added by some unknown creative and whimsical seismologist.

Feel Alive and be Happy

In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of the famous craftsman Daedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth. They were imprisoned in a tower by King Minos. Clever Daedalus managed to create two sets of wings for himself and his son, that were made of feathers glued together with wax. He taught Icarus how to fly and warned him not to fly too high, which would cause the wax to melt, nor too low, which would cause the feathers to get wet with sea water. Together, they flew out of the

Grow from inside out

Alone or Lonely?

There is a big difference between being alone and being lonely. Its only when we are alone that we are really free. Yet most of us hate to be alone, even afraid to be alone. When alone what we find about ourselves is not nice, and often unworthy of our own respect. We see a deep abyss. So we try to fill this abyss with other people and possessions, intoxications and indulgences, anything and everything that will stop us being alone with ourselves. Some of us can be in a crow

Don't be afraid of enemies

Everyone is looking for something in the other, and like the Musk Deer we will run here and there. Relentlessly across our world we will travel, eating, working, fighting, mating, praying, searching for the unattainable. We will leave this world just as we came into it, alone. During this journey we constantly make and break relationships sometimes by design and sometimes by chance. We humans are the most advanced and intelligent primates. We often use cunning and sophistica
