The peace that you have been looking for is found in the here and Now. Everything that you have ever lived and done, seen, worked for and lost has led you to being here right here and now. How beautiful. If you understand this, you will know you have bliss within your grasp. You need not die and go to the Kingdom of...
After over a month off, I am back at it. I had a lot of life events over the month, namely the birth of my daughter and subsequent stay in the NICU as she got stronger and ready to come home. She is doing phenomenally well and keeping us on our toes as we transition into becoming ‘real’ parents (I could ‘turn off’...
Strip down all of the things that you own, the brand names you associate with, the car you drive, the clothes you wear. Remove the music that you listen to, the movies that you watch, and the sports teams that you follow. Take away your affinity for wine, or for television series, or that politician that you...
For one week, I want you to give up all forms of consumption. No podcasts, no books, no movies, no television shows, no social media, no music. Does that sound like hell to you? That’s because you are not okay with being bored. You are not creating enough. For this whole week, I want you to only put out into the...
Do you show respect to those that you are meeting with? Are you the last one to arrive? Always showing up “fashionably late”? Or are you there before everyone else, preparing for the meeting, or getting work done while everyone slowly comes in? If you are not early, you are late. Simple as that. In this short...
There are 3 reasons you are anxious all the time:# 1. Desynchronisity with nature Most human beings are living completely apart from what nature has intended for us. They do not move, they eat garbage, they don’t sleep well, they are effectively doing everything they possibly can to live a non-natural life....
Here’s why I wear a ’broken’ watch. This watch is right two times per day and In the spirit of the date that that watch symbolizes, I figured I would do a quick piece on why I wear it. The time on the watch reads 9<43>, the date being the 9th, and the GMT hand represents the month, set at 11: November. On this is...
Introduction# We are going to be setting up a Bastion Host (or colloquially a ‘Jumpbox’) for our cloud infrastructure. This should be the entry point for all future server, database, and load balancing systems. The purpose of Bastion Hosts is simple and for one reason: to only allow the ability to SSH into your...
I Intermittent Fast on a daily basis. For the uninitiated, that means no food until noon, and then I have an 8 hour window to eat and get my food in. I’ve personally found that my mornings are far more productive, I get far less gastrointestinal issues, and I am able to maintain a weight (even putting on muscle if I...
Your focus is absolutely horrendous. But, so is everyone’s. I am willing to bet that you couldn’t even make it to the end of this post without looking at your phone once. That’s because you have forgotten the fundamental skill of humanity - the ability to set focus on a task and complete it to the fullest extent you...
As humans, we border on an OBSESSION of control. We are control freaks - we want everything the way we want it. If we cannot have it that way, we will try to force the universe’s hand Let’s do a thought experiment and see what we can ACTUALLY control in this life. 1. How much you put yourself out into the world# You...
Most people care far too much what others think of them. They live lives in which they are “supposed to act a certain way” or “expected to be a certain kind of person”. Worse than this - I can pin point the average person’s personality by looking at them for 10 seconds. The saying that “most women (or men) are the...
