  It’s extremely important that we learn how to deal with uncertainty in everything we do in life, enabling us to quickly adapt in the face of unexpected and unpredictable situations. We need to be flexible without losing our ability to plan and define the course of actions we would pursue when a given scenario configuration takes place. The more prepared we’re, the easier it’s to embrace changes without breaking our essence or getting out of the path and goals we would like both to pursue and attain in the present moment. Sometimes we may think uncertainty means no-planning, which is a completely distorted and wrong idea of what life really is and represents. Uncertainty is at the core of the impermanence of the universe, which says that we cannot be certain that a given situation will happen in the near future, as well as we cannot say it wouldn’t happen either. Thus, if we need to constitute a more stable foundation to support what we do in our daily activities, we need to learn...

  Let’s talk about accountability. How accountable are we regarding what we do in our daily activities? Are we brave enough to take responsibility if something goes wrong? Those simple questions are popping out as reminders of the good old model of cause and effect that we should be aware of since the beginning of our own existence. Everything we do has a source that leads towards a consequence, i.e., a result that we should be accountable for. Are we accountable, or are we delegating accountability to someone else? The moment we realise the answer for all those aforementioned questions, it’s the moment we understand that, for good or for bad, we’ve to deal with the consequences of everything we do, always. It’s important to keep consciousness at hand to realise and understand the impact of anything we experience in life, mainly when our decisions affect others directly (or indirectly). In Buddhism we say that observing raw, wild, and brainless actions is due to the nature of our u...

  A good exercise we can insert into our daily routine is reflecting what has happened in the past few days, taking 5 to 10 minutes to figure out what we could’ve done differently, and what we need to enforce in order to get any issue we may be facing vanished from our TODO list. A good start is being realistic in accounting everything we’ve no control of, which implies a strong and wonderful step ahead of planning what needs to be done, and what we need to be prepared for on the short-, mid- and long-term basis. The secret rule is never be afraid of anything, regarding adversaries, environmental conditions, or even periods of deep isolation derived from a mandatory requirement for finishing something important and demanding. The less afraid we become about anything we face in life, the easier it’s to deal with any issue during our life journey. Patience is a superpower we always need to use when facing the unknown. It’s one of our most trustworthy cards at hand, which has the abil...

  The motivation of learning as much as we can is something that we should cultivate and nurture deep within, not because someone told us to do so but—and mainly—because we love doing that. It’s part of our personal evolution to develop an appreciation for learning and discovering things that we can aggregate to our personal toolbox, no matter if it’s an old trick or a new tech. Mastering the ability to navigate life without being conditioned to accept everything we’ve contact with, seeking a good and correct explanation to things that would make a huge difference into our life and daily activities are the minimum requirements to qualify us for stepping into higher stages of our personal evolution. Our evolutionary path is unique yet shared. The universe connects us all, and therefore, our separated destinies are linked to the same fabric of space and time. Each one of us sees and experiences a tiny portion of that aforementioned fabric, which implies the paradox of experiencing re...

  Nowadays we need more than ever to master the intrinsic knowledge behind everything we do, exercising the learned capability of checking if a materialised solution is whether correct or presenting flaws that need to be addressed properly. If we remain conditioned to rely on something we’ve little or no understanding of, we would become slaves that end up imprisoned into the limitations imposed by an environment we are the ones responsible for establishing, cultivating, and feeding. Being able to keep consciousness at hand while taking advantage of what life presents either to challenge or to pose difficulties of what we need to do during our daily activities, may imply an extra card we have under our belts, which is capable of helping to increase the pace towards stepping into higher stages of our personal evolution. Let’s remember that keeping consciousness at hand is as good as gold while dealing with the impermanent nature of events happening before us, no matter the circumsta...

  Our human factor is what has driven the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which implies that we need to enhance such a factor instead of becoming lazy with the introduction and use of AI tools. Let’s remember that AI imitates human behaviour at a fast pace, and the reason for such an increase of speed is simple. We’ve an astonishing processing power within our brain but we’re still not able to consciously use more than a fraction of that power. Thus, the imitation game performed by AI accelerates the execution of tasks just because such an imitation takes advantage of equipment that can artificially process more data and perform more tasks in a short period of time than we, human beings, can do consciously. AI isn’t a threat for highly-educated jobs, human discriminatory behaviours are. We just need to make sure we know exactly when—-and why not—-applying AI consciously and meaningfully, no matter the circumstances. It’s important that we keep learning the foundations, m...
