Survival instinct is not evil; the problem begins when consciousness serves it blindly. Intelligence is a double-edged sword. The only whetstone we have for it is self-awareness.

Morality is not owned by religion, atheism, philosophy, or science. It is revealed through the repeated consequences of how conscious beings treat one another. So WHO or what is causing the divide in us.

With no afterlife, does life have meaning? Yes—because you’re even able to ask. Doubt. Curiosity. Problem-solving. That itch to understand… that’s meaning. In 300 years, we went from candles to app-controlled lights. Imagine the next 1000 if we work together. We create meaning.

None of us would ever tell our kids it’s okay to be unhealthy. We shouldn’t get fit to impress people — the real reason is deeper. Kids copy what we do, not what we say. Be the example they remember. — Count Joshula

Stop labeling yourself an introvert. Labels become cages. Elephants stop trying to break chains they could snap easily — because they believe they can’t. You’re the same. Start small: smile at someone, say hi, take one step. — Count Joshula

"The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence." -Charles Bukowski

It is NOT the job of the extrovert to invite the introvert to hang out because they happen to be more sociable.

Expectations VS Standards Your partner shouldn't EXPECT you to take a shower before a date. This is a standard. Asking your partner to do something that brings you validation. This is an expectation. They become the means to your end. #relationships

"Success isn't defined by prestige or wealth, but by the positive impact you make on humanity's future and treating others not as means, but as ends."

I wish today was a religious holiday. I really want to call my boss and tell him I can't come to work because I have stuff to do for the Jedi order.

The only thing you can take with you when you die is: Knowing you made a difference on this planet.

"Happiness is overrated! Chase fulfillment instead. Forget the pursuit of pleasure; it's all about overcoming challenges. Learned this the hard way chasing fame as a musician. Make a priority list, ditch the instant gratification, go for the meaningful stuff! #Fulfillment

Modern privilege is what exists today, not white privilege. Imagine a life without your fridge. Our ancestors faced daily hardships we couldn't fathom. Our lives are simply so much better. #gratitude #perspective

Nobody cares more about your time than you do. Remember this and use it wisely.

Happiness is the result of living a fulfilling life.

Regardless of your beliefs, the only reason you should be good is simply because you should. If you need a reason to be good, then you aren't being good for the sake of being good but because you expect a certain favorable outcome.

The problem with our world is people would do what feels good, rather than what is good.

All creatures on our planet have the instinct to survive. We just so happen to be the only creatures that question why.
