Self-love is when you make loving and caring for yourself your utmost priority. Contrary to what others think, self-love is not selfish it s actually selfless. When you focus on loving your overall Continue Reading The post Self-Love Leads You to…

Your letter Can t believe it reached me, amid all the busyness (and distractions). I m lost for words; I really don t know what to say.

It s the one truth we can all agree on. And it even becomes truer the more we get older. But despite it being true, most people tend to ignore it: Young adults (or teenagers) prioritize meeting their parents expectations instead of following what they truly love.

It s great to be optimistic. It makes you try things. But that doesn t mean you re always expecting for good things to happen. Or that someone will save you.

Now that s Continue Reading The post The Real Optimist appeared first on Craftdeology .
No. It s not actually your competitor. Not those people who hate you or envy you. It s the version of you who doubts yourself and thinks negatively. Negative thinking is draining. It kills your hopes and dreams. It closes your mind, locking you in a single perspective. Allow it to consume you, and you become angry, Continue Reading The post Your Most Dangerous Enemy appeared first on Craftdeology…
Every time I read most job descriptions these days, I want to vomit. And the more detailed the job descriptions are, the more it makes me want to vomit. Makes me wonder whether those who wrote those descriptions want to hire a human or a machine. They probably didn t realize it, but they re setting up Continue Reading The post You re Not Meant to Become a Machine appeared first on Craftdeology .
When people say that having problems is normal What they re actually saying is that they ve accepted any kind of problem in their lives both new and old problems.

Having a purpose is to have a direction. Without purpose, you do things randomly. But purpose can be nuanced. For others, their purpose is to help people or make the world a better place. Others dream of sending people to Mars. It doesn t have to be that grand. Every person is different. Your purpose should Continue Reading The post Purpose, Not Happiness appeared first on Craftdeology .
No one can explain the true reason we re here. We don t really know. Religions have been trying to understand it for centuries. Philosophies and cultures have their own takes as well. If you believe in them, that s fine. If you have your own philosophy, that s fine as well. But the truth remains: Life is a Continue Reading The post The Only Gift That Matters appeared first on Craftdeology .
Any journey towards reaching a dream stops not because of the challenge, but because of giving up. It s that simple. Giving up is not always wrong. Sometimes it s the best course of action. The difference lies in the reason. Did you give up because you ve changed and wanted to try something different? Or is it Continue Reading The post Try Again appeared first on Craftdeology .

Sometimes we re up, sometimes down. Sometimes we re pulling, sometimes pushing. Sometimes we flow like water. But sometimes we also attack like a storm. Sometimes we re the knowledgeable. But also, sometimes (or most of the time) we re the ignorant. We can t just like cold if we haven t experienced hot. Same with liking comfort over discomfort. Or Continue Reading The post You are a Contradiction…
The most fascinating thing about fear is that it only happens when we’re not experiencing danger in real-time. This means, whatever it is that we feel afraid of, it’s not happening yet. Our minds are just preparing us. It s a warning. A possibility. And since it s the modern world where most people are relatively Continue Reading The post Fear is Preparation appeared first on Craftdeology .

This is an experiment on a free day. Let s call this Dream Day . Forget everything and just focus on working on your dreams (whatever that dream is). Forget the news. Forget your favorite TV series.
