  Have you read something about how the pyramids got built? That priceless piece of knowledge may have gotten lost through time, and the true reasons for that we may never be able to understand properly, due to numerous possibilities and combinations we may consider when formulating hypotheses for explaining so. Thus, it’s extremely important that we get not intimidated by external impositions we’re subjected to, which serve only to establish a role model that may not be the suitable choice for all activities we need to perform during our daily routine. Instead of getting worried, it’s much more productive to put an effort and understand the big picture of the scene, diving into the details of something that really matters. The more expertise we acquire in anything we do, the better we can choose what to create with anything we’ve at hand in the present moment. Keeping our mind open is something that helps us adapt faster without losing our true essence and identity. It’s such a po...

  Dealing with unexpected situations is something we need to learn fast in order to increase our ability of finding a suitable solution for a situation we’ve little or no control of. One fundamental tip is opening room for creativity, exercising our intrinsic ability to provide a new way of doing things we already know how to handle properly. The more creative we’re, the more vast the number of possibilities we’ve at hand is, transforming a difficult situation into a priceless piece of knowledge we add to our toolbox, becoming an asset at hand for future actions. The unknown is something we’ve no control of, although we need to find a way of being ready to deal with anything before us, no matter the circumstances. It’s our intrinsic ability to adapt and create a solution for any issue that makes us astonishing beings that think, learn, and produce priceless pieces of knowledge in a snap of a finger. If we’ve no idea how to solve a given problem, that is a good sight, indeed. It ope...

  It’s extremely important that we learn how to see, identify, and play with anything life presents to us, mainly things part of our daily routine that we cannot avoid the contact with. Not dealing with unpleasant situations is a good strategy when the priorities of the work we need to perform is in our favour, and we get lucky that deception isn’t part of anything we must handle in the mix of our workload. Thus, it’s best to make a plan yet letting room for anything we cannot make a feasible prediction of. The more flexibility we’re for changing without corrupting our deep essence, the easier it gets to find a suitable strategy where fear of the outcome we get is no more, no matter the circumstances or the combination of the different variables involved. When we think about fairness, we automatically think about a decision-making process where criteria to perform a decision must be applied. Deciding something may leverage the following questions: Am I right? or am I wrong? In orde...

  Dealing with our daily demands is usually time consuming, and therefore, it would be better if we find a way to waste less time possible doing so. Unfortunately, there’re some demands that we cannot delegate to others or any Artificial Intelligence (AI) agent, which implies they’re waiting for us to handle them properly, i.e., they will not vanish themselves until we get rid of them. Thus, it’s better to keep consciousness at hand and face whatever needs to be faced rather than either fear or avoid handling such demands. It’s when we understand that we’re the rulers of our own mind that we get genuinely ready to deal with and face anything, no matter the circumstances. The majority of the time we’re immersed into illusions we’ve contact with in the environment we’re inserted into, which we’re just not able to see clearly. It requires us to keep consciousness at hand to realise and understand what happens in the present moment, preparing the self for the tough calls when they get ...

  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...
