Freedom and Authenticity:

 Most people care about the opinion of others, thus they do or believe in things that society at large puts weight to.


This causes people to be shakled to the chains of conformity; producing inauthentic individuals who make most of their decisions based on what is socially accepted.


Note that there is a danger of taking it too far. Do not isolate yourself. Rather, live in society but act in accordance with your beliefs. 



You will begin to take a path that those around you will feel like is weird, but this path is authentic to you. Be free to express who you are through chasing your specific goals and interests.

    I believe the way some of us were raised still determines how we view the world today. If I grew up knowing that if I do something either good or bad, I'm gonna get deep questioning of what I did, that mentality sticks to an extent that even when I have to do something for myself, I keep wondering what people will say afterwards. I think our different family up bringing really have an impact on us.

      This is very true. But these days things have changed. The current generation is trying as hard to teach the late one how things work now. Change starts with us.

Is indifference good or bad?

A lot of times people ask is indifference a good or a bad thing? Indifference is often considered a worse human attribute because it has no emotion, no expression and no response. An indifferent attitude is only good if you use it to keep away negativity. And in all other situations empathy and care is the best way to spread love and kindness.

Better Performance

Often times, we attach ourselves to the outcome of things we do, eg: participating in a competition, starting a new goal, etc. What we do not realise is that is ruins our performance on these taks because our mind is purely clouded by the outcome. We do not give ourselves time to think about the task at hand.  Focus on the process of acting and the effort you put in(thinking in the present because the present moment's actions are in your control) instead of attaching yourself to the end result(the future result because the way the future turns out is not in your control).
