You Are Better Than You Think
Whether you are patient or not, and irrespective as to how well you handle criticism from others, whether constructive or otherwise; in the line of acceptance or defensiveness when it comes to the latter; deep down, many of us are our own harsh critics. Looking in the mirror is a simple cure to no longer being hard on yourself, yet it (the harmless mirror) is so confronting for many people. Off hand, motivational and healing author (the late Louise Hay) mentions that many people find it difficult to look at themselves in the mirror with compassion and love for a few seconds; yet the wobbliest among us can balance on one leg for longer than that. Many people want to smash that harmless mirror, or throw it away. They do not like what they see.

The Lie We Tell Ourselves About Happiness
The Lie We Tell Ourselves About Happiness By Hasnain Shah We are all chasing it. Some of us call it success, others call it peace.

But we don’t really know what it means anymore.

Do you know your Breaking Point?
Have you ever heard of the phrase "Second opinion" in regards to medical advice? It occurred often when a professional medical advisor stated something unbelievable or unwanted. That may seem odd to you, but what is even more surprising, is that many have sought a "second opinion" in such matters, and found what they were looking for. Your BMI alerts one trained professional to tell you that you are obese, while only 20 pounds overweight. Yet another doctor who had previously been a Sumu wrestler says you are perfectly healthy. Sometimes a second opinion is the way to go.

The Empty Side of the Bed
The Empty Side of the Bed It’s been one hundred and thirty-seven nights since you left, Amir. I know because I’ve written to you every single one. I still can’t stop counting—days, nights, breaths—everything feels like a measurement of the time I’ve spent learning to exist without you.

The Weight of Perfection: Escaping the Illusion of a “Better You”
The Quiet Pressure to Be “Better” There’s a silent burden many of us carry today — the feeling that we must always be improving. We wake up thinking about what needs fixing: our body, our productivity, our mindset, our habits, our purpose. It’s as if simply existing isn’t enough anymore; we must always be optimizing, evolving, upgrading.
