No Mo' FOMO by VinDesh

FOMO = Fear of Missing Out. We experience FOMO because we want to make the most of our time. We yearn for excitement and glamour. So we chase the next high, the next thrill, the next job, the next chapter. In doing so, we never actually experience the present. We never truly appreciate what we have. And we never really live. ~VinDesh

Smile For The Camera, by VinDesh

Smile For The Camera!

We may feel angry, or sad, or frustrated, or empty, and still we reflexively smile. Because the perfect picture requires a smile...or so we think. 

What if we dropped the pretense and allowed pictures to capture what is, to display an authentic version of ourselves? Would they feel more meaningful? Express greater vitality? 

Now replace the word “picture” with “life.” Drop your ideas of perfection, your conceptions of happiness. Live in a way that fully expresses yourself.

The Identity Crisis by VinDesh

Our identity feels fundamental. It helps us feel special. It gives our life meaning. Yet if we cling too tightly we become anxious and fearful. We know that conditions may change. That we may lose a job, or a loved one, or our looks, or our money. And these possibilities threaten our very sense of self.

Instead of clinging to a static identity, learn to embrace the fluidity of life, to enjoy the process of life. What you are does not matter. How you live is much more important.

Push Through The Pain, By VinDesh

Pain comes from our resistance to discomfort. Our belief that the uncomfortable, the unfamiliar, will threaten our survival. Yet most discomfort will not hurt us, and in fact, will only make us stronger. Learn to accept discomfort and push through the pain. Life will become much more rewarding.

Bitter medicine may be hard to swallow but it promotes good health. Instead of always seeking comfort, incorporate bitters into your daily routines. Regular exercise. Proper nutrition. Difficult conversations. Spiritual practices. While these disciplines may feel uncomfortable, they greatly improve our well-being.

Please Don't Try To Please!

Our desire to please others destroys our self-confidence and limits our potential. Let's embrace who we are, and live by our own standards.

Part II - Our primal impulses help us survive, yet sometimes they spin out of control. We perceive constant threats. We become anxious and fearful. Our critical thinking diminishes. In short, we lose our humanity.
