  • A destined misery…or is it?

    A destined misery…or is it?

    Are you sightseeing while wishing that what you see could be your reality? Most often, it is our belief in what we deserve that limits us more than what we actually deserve or are capable of achieving. In fact, considering what we deserve or don’t deserve is a distraction most likely grounded in self-pity or…

  • Do you appreciate you?

    Do you appreciate you?

    When we surrender to what we believe was preordained for us, we give up our ability to influence its outcomes. That giving up creates a self-fulfilling prophecy by allowing things to progress in its current path without any effort to disrupt it, convincing us that we were right about it being preordained. For this reason,…

  • Positive thinking fallacies

    Positive thinking fallacies

    Important reminder from the archives… There is much harm in this widespread acceptance of the so-called power cf positive thinking.

  • Don’t blame destiny

    Don’t blame destiny

    Most often, it is our belief in what we deserve that limits us more than what we actually deserve or are capable of achieving. It’s like waiting up all night to witness an amazing sunrise only to give up as the first streaks of dawn appear and then convince ourselves that it was our destiny…

  • Psssst, guess what?

    Psssst, guess what?

    The universe is not waiting to serve you. It’s time to own your shit. “Expecting life to treat you well because you’re a good person is like expecting a bull not to charge at you because you’re a vegetarian.” (Unknown) This is my favourite quote whenever I come across someone that feels defeated because they…

  • Questions from a Non-Muslim

    cynicallyjaded: wolfy18: I have a few questions I’d like to put out to the Muslims & Christians on here. Some questions might appeal to one religion more so than the other and the questions are sort of related to eachother, but whatever. 1.  If God is all seeing, all knowing, and the great planner of everything, does…
