Not Being Enough

Image
 Subscribe Free  You were born whole. Before words, before wounds, before comparison, you were complete. But as life unfolded, the world taught you to measure yourself against others, to chase approval, to doubt your own brilliance. Somewhere along the way, you stopped seeing the sacred perfection of your own existence. The feeling of not being enough often begins in childhood, in a parent’s silence, a teacher’s comparison, a friend’s rejection. These moments plant seeds of doubt that grow into forests of self-criticism. Later, society waters them with its impossible standards: flawless beauty, relentless achievement, and the illusion that love and belonging must be earned. When your sense of self isn’t rooted in something deeper, the world will easily convince you that you are incomplete. But healing begins the moment you turn inward, when you stop fighting yourself and start listening with compassion. When you breathe through your pain and let it speak its truth. When ...

Awakening the Observer

 Subscribe Free  What if the chaos within you could be softened? What if your mind could become your servant instead of your master? Most of us are carried away by our own thoughts and emotions, letting them dictate our moods, reactions, behavior, and well-being. We believe we are our thoughts and emotions. But what if we are something far greater, the awareness behind them? Imagine your thoughts and emotions as a train rushing through the landscape of your mind. Each wagon carries a memory, a fear, a desire, a judgment, a dream. For years you have been riding that train, jumping from one wagon to another, identifying with every passing story and feeling. You have been carried upward by joy and crushed by sorrow, lifted by hope and weighed down by fear. Sometimes it races like a bullet train; other times it moves slowly through fog. Yet all this time, you’ve been inside, never realizing you could step off. Now imagine you stand on a bridge above the tracks. The train pas...

The Privilege of Being Alive

 Subscribe Free  Life, the greatest miracle, too often fades into the background noise of our busy days. Most people do not lose their lives all at once; they lose them one ordinary day at a time. Absorbed in their jobs, routines, ambitions, and endless to-do lists, carried away by their restless minds, they forget to notice the simple wonder of being alive. Some live as if life were a right. Others, as if it were a punishment. Few remember that life is a privilege.  When we forget this, the magic of existence begins to vanish. We get caught in the trees and lose sight of the beauty and majesty of the forest. We confuse motion with meaning, habit with purpose, and we live half-asleep, sometimes entirely asleep, inside the very gift we were given to experience fully. Imagine if someone offered you a million dollars. Would you take it? Most people would. Many of your current burdens could be lifted with that money. Now imagine they offer you not one, but ten million, ...

The Illusion of Reality

Image
 Subscribe Free  What if the world you see is not the world as it is, but the world your mind creates? Your sensorial organs lie. But it is not betrayal. It is the way the brain builds reality. We are taught that we see with our eyes, hear with our ears, smell with our noses, taste with our tongues, and sense with our skin. But the truth is different. The eyes are not the ones that see; they only capture light. The ears do not hear; they only receive waves. The nose is a sensor. The tongue and skin, receivers. It is your brain that interprets these fragments and transforms them into a world that feels solid and real. Neuroscience calls this predictive processing . Your brain is not a passive observer. It is a painter, filling in what is missing with predictive models based on memory, emotion, expectation, and imagination. It takes scattered signals and turns them into your personal reality. That is why optical illusions work. That is also why two people can stand in the ...
