What if we stop defining success by comparing ourselves to others?
Maybe success is not about winning, having more money than your childhood friends, being higher in some pyramid structure, having to overtake others or even crawl over dead bodies.
Consider that well being of others might contribute to your own well being.
We are all in this together.
Effortlessly or with Sweat, Blood and Tears?
Just a little thought about different ways of achieving your goals – are only the ones involving fighting valuable? Is suffering really necessary? How about effortlessness? Before you discredit this take a moment and check your own belief system and how that reflects on your life experience. What have you been taught as a child, what is the pattern in your family, culture, society ?
There might be another way to achieve your goals.
It is amazing, the amount of effort we invest in avoiding unpleasant situations, emotions and experiences. The real problem is that in attempt to insulate ourselves from them we block our passion and lust for life, we loose the awe and magic of being alive.
Besides, whichever tactics we use – we fail. There is deep innate longing in all of us to experience what-is.
Maybe the ability to tolerate the intolerable is the key to living. No need to fight, suppress, annihilate, control, suck, hurt.
It is what it is. And guess what – it’s not bad at all. As a little kid we are not able to see that, and we develop our defenses because it’s just too much. Later on we keep them even if they damage us and our environments.

Into The Known and The Unknown. Especially The Known. Especially if you are absolutely sure.
It’s good to revisit and question what you think you know every now and then.
There is no 100% or 0% probability in quantum world.
And if the knowledge is solid and true it will not be hurt or spoiled by a little doubt.
Basically a win-win situation.
