JUST MY IMAGINATION

4 mins A few weeks ago (months actually) a friend of mine recommended me a book and since then, I have been reading- at a turtle speed. It’s hard to digest. Also, I am somehow always busy! (Who isn’t?) But anyway. It is almost finished now, and I thought I could write a few words about it. Return to love is focused on the author’s experiences in the self-study guide ‘A Course in Miracles’. So, the author, Marianne Williamson, illustrates how the power of love in various aspects of life can help heal and contribute to personal development. This book makes me question almost everything that I do on automatic pilot. I cannot say that it changed my entire life. But it did put a fresh filter on my eyes and I think that’s very valuable. Because I really align with some of the thoughts, and I think to some extent it changed my perspective on relationships of all kinds. Meaning doesn’t lie in things. Meaning lies in us.

  4 mins read For the last few years of my life, I have been observing myself in social interactions and thinking from time to time, what's wrong with me? Because some things don’t make sense and I have been wondering, why I am the way I am? Some of the indications of these traits include, often feeling disturbed by people in society, struggling to find the energy to make a phone call or simply answer a text message, and having almost anxious feelings in some social gatherings… A few years ago, I was reading a book* and discovered that I am an introvert.

Because when I am in a good mood, I am also a very outgoing person who loves socializing and meeting new people. But I definitely couldn’t define myself as an extrovert because that requires much more than that. Then I kept thinking and for a short time, determined that maybe I might have soci...

3 mins read I was thinking about what to write on my blog today while doing the dishes. Because apparently writing every Sunday is my thing now as I set a self-imposed deadline and literally forced myself to do it. Because, after all, that’s how you develop a habit, right? And I seem to have succeeded for the last five weeks- self five! But I couldn't think of anything to write about this today. Then I paid attention to the voices in my headphones and voila! The topic of the week has just been found. The diary of the CEO is ‘an unfiltered journey into the remarkable stories of the people that have defined culture, achieved greatness, and created stories worth studying’* by his own words, Steven Barlett. So, this 29-year-old guy is basically conducting interviews with the people who have proved their success in life and simply asking them a bunch of questions on a variety of topics. These are not just cheesy motivational speeches, but more of a real-life story that is filled wi...
