Motivational Ideas (Part 7)
1. Academic and Emotional Doubts: It is dangerous to fall into academic or emotional doubts and traps. Academic doubts/traps mean that people try to convince us of falsehood based on information they take from academic professionals. It is much possible that a group of PhDs can give us the wrong information if they are all part of an evil scheme. And this convinces the public that such professionals cannot tell a lie. But if we open our eyes and do our own research and cross-question, or ask other qualified people, we may realize that we are being played with. The same can be the case with political, social and religious leaders. It is dangerous to take information from them blindly, rather, it is wise to cross-question them in a respectful way and ask them evidences for their claims.

Writer Diary: The Wannabe
The pandemic came like a cold splash of water in the face after partying all night. Nobody outside of the government could have anticipated the debilitating vice grip it would have on the world and all the functions that kept society moving. We went from packing ourselves into crowded subway cars like eager sardines, to posting videos of us yelling at people to back up and give us 6ft of social distancing. We were not ready for this sudden demand for change and what it meant to our own private lives. This didn’t just shake up the workplace but has shifted the minds of every employee and employer. Businesses are now wondering if they need to have so many people on payroll and the employees are wondering if this job feeds their desire to feel purposeful in their existence. Relationships are being challenged as we near the 4-month mark, if they haven’t already been destroyed, and personal images have been shattered. That is where my problem is, self-realization of how I have procrastinated my way to the brink of oblivion and now must pull myself from the edge of obscurity and failure. Harsh words, I know, but this stay at home edict has made me have to face the lazy and often negative version of myself more directly than just a simple nod of acknowledgement in the mornings before work.

Hey, that’s my idea!
Ideas are like seeds . They come to us in the form of thoughts , impressions or even lightbulb moments and ideas just like seeds are everywhere and everyone and anyone can get them. They could be inspired by our everyday life or a burning desire to solve what you perceive to a problem in your world. So what do you do when you have one? Do you sit on it? or Do you pursue it? Have you ever had a brilliant idea and shared it with all your family and friends , only to have it knocked down by their disbelief and doubts? The next thing you know is that the same idea you had has been developed by someone somewhere and that thing has become a great success. Painful isn’t it? I’m pretty sure that you might have experienced this , I definitely have. So let’s think about this for a minute. What has stopped you from pursuing your ideas so far?

Allow. People. To. Change.
When you’re constantly fighting for your voice to be heard you almost don’t know how to react when it is. When all the protesting, social media posting, petition signing and fighting finally brings about the reaction you were so desperately seeking you freeze.

Owner vs Consumer
How much longer will you be stuck in this perpetual black-hole of always owing? There's not benefit in always being indebted to this world. How much money does a would chuck chuck, until a wood chuck chuck runs out of luck? Why risk the inheritance of your children's children on this world’s false promises? Can you continue to be the crack-head for a piece of paper that only has value based off its color? The sliver of tree that has been given more power than the very essence of life itself by humanity. It is a false idol that is as empty as the depths of the ocean at night. A lifeless stillness that watches as we trampled over each other like crabs in a barrel.

The Importance of Self-Love And Confidence
Everything begins and ends in your mind. Self love is highly important and its so hard to have and find, its extremely difficult to accept yourself in this society nowadays but it is something every person ends up doing, it is different for everyone because every single person out there is going through many different experiences and see life in many different ways.

Ego Death
Ego Death The concept ego death always seemed incorrect to me. I don't believe an ego can nor should die. First, let’s bring ourselves to a definition of what the ego is. The ego began developing as an evolutionary tool of self protection and self preservation as we slowly began understanding our self-awareness. This self-awareness is simply noticing oneself as an individual. This awareness made us feel vulnerable and the ego keeps us in a state of fight, flight, anxiety, or alertness. These are all the basic tools non-self-aware creatures use to simply survive in their instinctual mind. We as humans have moved beyond the instinctual mind and needed a program in which to make our choices of survival. The blending of the instincts, our memories, our imagination, the perceived flow of time, and all of our interactions with other individual egos have caused some of the most atrocious behaviors of any living creature on the planet. We simply lacked understanding of the program in which we operate.
