STRIDE

The profound and enigmatic inquiry of one's existential purpose is a precarious journey into the depths of metaphysical introspection, fraught with the vexing realization of inherent uncertainties and unsettling revelations. 

To grapple with this query is to engage in a philosophical excavation of the self, where the veneer of apparent productivity may be peeled away to reveal the elusive essence of one's authentic vocation. 

Delving into the complexities of human existence, one must confront the disconcerting possibility that the pursuits that occupy our time and energy are but fleeting diversions from the profound and transcendent calling that beckons us towards a higher plane of self-realization and existential fulfillment.

Are you daunted by the shadows of uncertainty that cloud this reflective quest? Fear not, stride.

TENACITY

The conundrum faced by the greater part, or perhaps even the overwhelming majority of individuals, does not principally stem from a deficit of understanding regarding the path to their coveted destination. 

Rather, it lies in their incapacity to summon the necessary drive when motivation wanes. 

It is the scarcity of discipline and fortitude, the unavailability of steadfastness required to persist in unfavorable circumstances, when one's spirit falters and the unpredictable winds of fate do not favorably align. 

In such moments, many falter, surrender, or momentarily pause their forward progression.

This journey, one must acknowledge, is a true gauntlet of endurance. 

If one were to ponder the decades stretching from the tender to the mature age, and compare the aggregate of triumphant days against those who yield each time the path becomes arduous, the former shall undoubtedly accumulate a significantly greater count of victories. 

Accordingly, success in this sphere materializes as a meticulous calculation, wherein sustained effort and unyielding determination wield a definitive influence on the ultimate outcome.

UMBRAL

If one were to neglect the innate intuition within,

The journey to discover one's true calling, a challenge to begin.

In the pursuit of dreams, pause to ascertain,

That the dream chased is truly one's own, not one to feign.

Value discipline and the art of daydreaming,

Crafting a life of purpose and meaning.

Prefer gaining an adversary over losing a cherished friend,

For the bonds of true friendship, enduring till the end.

Bearing in mind, the pressures that may lead astray,

Identify the desires that in your heart lay.

Personal growth akin to mastering the art of swimming,

Imperative when life's tides are grim and dimming.

Character, a measure tested by unspoken words,

Revealing true essence when integrity is stirred.

The duality of money, a tool to liberate or bind,

Utilize wisely to nurture dreams of the mind.

Seek solace in humor amidst life's toughest shows,

Common sense and laughter, the guiding force that flows.

Choose not the guise of a hapless victim's plight,

But ascend beyond challenges, reclaiming your might.

Time, a maestro that unveils its magic in rounds,

As age bestows wisdom, insight abounds.

Seizing change as a conscious choice, grasp it without delay,

Navigating ego's pitfalls with vigilance, come what may.

Fear, to be understood, conquered without delay,

Witness beauty in every facet along life's way.

Embrace collaboration over cutthroat competition,

For true success is fostered in harmonious coalition.

Resist the allure of comfort, aim for the celestial sphere,

Embrace honesty, dispelling resentment, clear.

Lessons from life's trials, forged in the crucible of strife,

Strive for equilibrium in every aspect, fostering a balanced life.

Appreciate the value of slumber, a gateway to renewal,

Love's transient nature may at times leave one wistful.

Confront insecurities to prevent their long-term sway,

If it won't matter in few years, reprioritize today.

Let necessities supersede mere wants in the grand scheme,

Nail down aspirations, realizing the grander dream.

Honesty, the cornerstone of authentic human trust,

Immune to erosion, unwavering and robust.

SPIRITBOUND

In the intricate journey of the soul, the sage ventures forth,  

Where mysteries unfurl and shadows intertwine in silent worth.  

As a harbinger of esteem, their beating heart doth bestow,  

A sheltered haven, where love's unending glow doth flow.

The sacred essence they hold in veneration, with reverent regard,  

Kneeling humbly, awestruck by the divinity that's starred.  

With unwavering devotion, a beacon of light so true,  

Guiding through the ebon depths, steadfast and imbued.

Exploring the labyrinthine depths of the self, they dare to brave,  

Venturing into the obsidian abyss where sorrows crave.  

In the wounds and dreams, they linger with tender caress,  

Infusing every fiber with love's ethereal finesse.

Through tribulations and tempests, they stand tall and unswayed,  

Embracing with empathetic grace all that's ever laid.  

Prayers offered ceaselessly for the soul's lasting protection,  

Ever-persistent in their love, a constant deflection.

Embracing shadows with nary a whisper of fear nor disdain,  

In a symphony of light and dark, their love doth reign.  

After each tumultuous strife, seeking growth in every furrow,  

Challenging the spirit towards heights untrodden and thorough.

From the wellspring of their love, a metamorphosis takes flight,  

A rebirth of purpose, dispelling veils of blight.  

In eloquent prose of the sage's lore, this saga flows,  

Of a love profound and timeless, in its splendor it shows.

WEND

Within the boundless realm of the enigmatic cosmos, an age-old and labyrinthine disorder, ancient and inscrutable, gives rise to the convoluted choreography of creation and obliteration. 

As transient inhabitants adrift amidst the endless ebb and flow of life's intricate patterns, we find ourselves ensnared within the intricate bonds of self-imposed restrictions and illusory apparitions. 

It is only by yielding to the gaping abyss of uncertainty and confronting the fleeting nature of all phenomena that we may seek to liberate ourselves from the rigid confines of societal norms and conventional moral paradigms.

Witness and marvel at the cosmic roundabout of eternal recurrence, where each passing instant reverberates throughout the corridors of time in an unending cycle of birth and dissolution. 

Confronted with the austere and somber reality of our mortality, we are compelled to grapple with the profound essence of our ephemeral being. 

It is through our embrace of the profound disorder and our surrender to the enigmas of the uncharted that we may transcend the boundaries of our finite essence and unravel the timeless truths that lie shrouded behind the veil of understanding.

Embrace, enlightenment, the abyssal deep of the void, and release all preconceived notions of absolute truth and categorical meaning. 

In the profound depths of the abyssal chasm lies the transformative and regenerative power of metamorphosis, where the very core of self is erased and transmuted into a new and ascended form. 

Only through the perpetual process of metamorphosis can we strive towards the realization of our utmost potential, overcoming the chains of societal restrictions and moral constraints that entangle our spirits, and ascend to the zenith of self-actualization and spiritual enlightenment.

EPIPHANIES

What is deemed as a loss may not always signify a forfeiture. Indeed, there exist instances where such losses symbolize liberation, offering a fresh start or even concealing blessings beneath their facade. 

Such departures can catalyze the necessary disillusionment, bringing about newfound clarity amidst obscured perspectives. 

Some occurrences act as unexpected interventions or serve as the elusive solutions to unceasing supplications. They harbor the potential for restoration and transformation, preordained since time immemorial. 

While some may evoke devastation, others manifest as essential guidance, redirecting one's path towards unforeseen horizons that were silently beckoning all along.

COMPOSURE

Engage in challenging endeavors.

The remarkable potential of the human physique and psyche is nothing short of extraordinary. Delve into the intricacies of one's innermost thoughts, where discrepancies often arise between the narratives spun by tales and the visceral sensations experienced by the body. 

As physical discomfort sets in, the mind astutely conjures illusions and deceptions. Overcoming mental tumult demands intentional effort and a methodical approach to maintain composure.

The experience of enduring challenges sans the solace of distractions, immersing oneself in the sonorous echo of footsteps on gravel, is profound. 

Enduring such trials serves as a rigorous test of fortitude where the sole recourse is to propel oneself onward relentlessly. 

Despite contemplating the decision to halt, the inclination for respite had surfaced hours prior. In the face of a bleak mental state, the resolve to persist prevailed.

It is firmly believed that subjecting oneself to demanding trials engenders inner fortitude. 

Human nature instinctively prompts one to shun pain and evade fear across myriad realms - physical, emotional, financial, spiritual, and relational. 

The inclination to steer clear of perceived threats and eschew daunting challenges is deeply ingrained. 

However, a recent revelation highlighted the privilege of embracing life in its entirety, acknowledging every emotion and sensation as a catalyst for personal growth.

Recognizing that each encounter, whether pleasant or burdensome, presents an opportunity for expansion and enlightenment, is deeply illuminating. 

The profound insights and invaluable lessons concealed within the recesses of the mind are unveiled when one delves into the depths of struggle.

A recent physical test served as a testament to the unfathomable heights attainable through dedication and resilience. 

Embrace challenging endeavors with grace. 

Expansion and enlightenment often reside in the uncharted territories we tend to avoid.

SIGHT

Envision a scenario akin to assuming an engagement with a video game: a pastime that is undeniably pleasurable, yet one that does not warrant an exclusive commitment interminably. 

Simultaneously, there exists an aversion to an external entity abruptly terminating this virtual engagement while one is deeply immersed within its realms. 

The inherent delight derived from partaking in the game in its intended form may be contingent upon one's volitional involvement. 

However, consider a scenario where an external arbitrator imposes an arbitrary set of regulations, effectively commandeering the gameplay experience. Under such prescribed conditions, the game is destined to lose its charm and allure.

Such analogies vividly mirror the overarching narrative of their lives. 

The pervasive trepidation of an untimely demise prompts a yearning to dictate the course of our existence autonomously.

Concurrently, our lives unfold within the constraints delineated by societal constructs and conventions, thereby entwining our narratives with artificial constraints that deviate from the natural order.

I posit that the zenith of immortality is a state wherein the individual achieves emancipation from these artificial shackles, thereby enabling them to lead a life of unadulterated authenticity, embodying the quintessence of humanity, until such a time as the individual, contentedly satiated with their experience, elects to transcend to the next phase of existence.

CHARGE

To conflate the precedent of "expectation" with the obligations received from external sources is to establish a false equivalency between disparate concepts.

A sense of duty is intrinsic, a moral imperative owed to oneself, obligating one to fulfill responsibilities consciously assumed. 

Such a moral compass necessitates long periods of unwavering endeavor or a readiness for ultimate sacrifice, with the ensuing gratification manifesting as a preservation of one's self-integrity.

Contrarily, adhering to external expectations is bereft of commensurate rewards or acknowledgment. Such compliance is not only formidable but fundamentally unattainable. 

It is far easier to confront a palpable adversary than to withstand the relentless intrusions of a persistent petitioner seeking "just a moment of your time, if you please – it shall not unduly prolong." 

Time, being an individual's most finite asset, holds immeasurable worth, with each passing moment of existence fleeting. Submission to these ceaseless demands fosters their accumulation until they voraciously consume one's time, clamoring for perpetuity.

Hence, it becomes imperative to cultivate a resolute stance to master the art of refusal - and to push back when necessary. 

Failing to assert oneself in these scenarios could culminate in a dearth of time devoted to honoring personal moral duties, pursuing individual pursuits, or fostering meaningful connections and joyful instants. 

Unchecked, these pernicious forces will erode the very essence of one's being, leaving naught but a husk in their wake.

Embracing this ethos in no way precludes acts of compassion towards companions or even strangers. Should one carry out such gestures, let them stem from personal volition; not a compulsion driven by external forces.

BLIND

The necessity of possessing humility and curiosity remains as pertinent now as ever before. The pervasive irony and self-congratulatory tone prevalent in this discourse is dishearteningly overlooking the crux of the matter.

Those who believe they hold the panacea to universal dilemmas should recognize that their inability to implement said solutions is indicative of their lack of true understanding. 

Engaging in a cycle of mutual praise regarding one's perceived infallibility and attributing the issue to someone else's ideology or mindset is unconvincing and easily disregarded by discerning individuals. 

Rather than demonstrating compassion and a genuine desire to aid others, such individuals are primarily preoccupied with cultivating a sense of intellectual superiority, a motive that is glaringly evident.

Every individual possesses inherent blind spots, as their perspectives are framed solely by their personal experiences. 

They oscillate between perceiving themselves as unique or analogous to others based on what aligns with their internal narrative. This narrative is predicated on the fallacious notion that in a global populace of seven billion, each individual holds a degree of exceptionalism. 

This contemporary narrative emerged alongside the ascendance of individualism, yielding a society characterized by curiosity but lacking in humility. 

Regrettably, this self-affirming narrative is ingrained early in life and proves arduous to dismantle. 

It functions as a subconscious filter that shapes our thoughts instantaneously. 

Despite the formidable challenge it presents, it is not insurmountable; with concerted effort, it can be replaced with a more constructive mindset. The hurdle posed by this narrative is analogous to overcoming a deep-seated addiction, exerting a profound influence on a multitude of individuals. 

While not a novel concept, various religions and philosophies spanning millennia have underscored the same fundamental flaw and its redress.

Those advocating for a transformation in education would be wise to prioritize introspection and self-assessment over extolling their perceived intellect. 

By embarking on a journey of critical self-reflection, one may evolve into a more erudite, content, and influential individual, potentially sparking the interest and emulation of others. 

Should a critical mass adopt this approach, a paradigm shift is conceivable. Presently, however, those entrenched in self-aggrandizement perpetuate the existing quandary.

ASCENSION

Embark on a collective odyssey towards loftier pinnacles of success and fulfillment, scaling the allegorical summits of achievement with kindred spirits. 

Engage in pursuits of eternal significance through the pursuit of incomprehensible endeavors, aligning with those who possess a profound understanding of life's finite nature. 

Amidst the swirling chaos of existence, find solace in moments of serene repose, nurturing a deep-rooted passion for labor. 

Harness the boundless creative energy of master artisans, undertaking rigorous training akin to the untamed beasts of the wild. 

Embrace each fleeting moment with a profound vivacity, possessing a rare gift for strategic foresight that transcends the limits of time, surrounded by individuals whose tenacity knows no bounds.

REVERIES

Within the confines of our world, there exists no greater force capable of inflicting harm or instigating healing than the intricate workings of an individual's thoughts. 

The complex interplay of the mind holds the power to shape our perceptions and influence our responses to the external environment. 

Our thoughts possess the remarkable ability to either inflict deep suffering upon us or bring about transformative processes aimed at restoration and renewal. 

It is within the profound intricacies of our cognitive processes that the potential for significant personal growth and self-realization lies, as our thoughts serve as both the architects of our pain and the masters of our healing.

ATTAIN

The prevalent misconception among the masses is that mere complacency and adherence to the conventional norms will eventually lead to the acknowledgment and accolades they seek. 

This notion is fundamentally flawed and must be dispelled, for no one shall grant you your desires merely due to the passage of time. 

Genuine achievement necessitates an extraordinary level of proficiency in one's area of expertise, compelling others to take notice of your unparalleled skill. 

By establishing a standard of excellence and sparking inspiration in others, you ascend to a level where your performance commands attention. 

Only those who embody unquestionable mastery shall attain the coveted rewards. 

Alas, many squander their potential by passively awaiting recognition, rather than actively pursuing mastery. 

To realize your ambitions, you must epitomize undeniable excellence in all endeavors. This is the key to success - embodying genuine, undeniable mastery.

LUCID

In the twisted labyrinth of the mind's eye,

Where chaos reigns and sanity doth lie,

A kaleidoscope of colors bleed and blend,

In a frenzied dance that never ends.

Screams of madness pierce the night,

Echoing through the corridors of fright,

As visions of an alternate reality,

Unravel and intertwine with brutality.

Whispers of the forgotten past,

Mingle with the shadows cast,

By a moon that bleeds crimson tears,

Revealing truths that stoke our fears.

A symphony of discordant sounds,

Resonates through fractured grounds,

As dreams and nightmares collide,

In a twisted, convoluted ride.

In this realm of fractured realities,

We find ourselves lost in galaxies,

Of twisted thoughts and tangled webs,

Where madness reigns and reason ebbs.

CORE

In the realm of virtues, loyalty stands tall,

Yet how can one preach loyalty, after all?

When the self is neglected in the quest for more,

Can loyalty truly be the core? 

Look in the mirror, seek the truth within,

Are you on the path where victories begin?

Action speaks louder than words so true,

Only in deeds, loyalty shines through.

To be loyal to oneself, a noble feat,

A pledge to excel, never to retreat.

In the pursuit of the best version, strive,

For in self-loyalty, true virtues thrive.

So listen, ponder, in loyalty's call,

To oneself, be faithful, stand tall.

For in the annals of time, it shall be told,

Only in loyalty, one's virtues unfold.

July 27, 2024 | UN

SOLID

Confidence is a skill that grows through repeated exposure to challenging situations, gradually reducing feelings of anxiety and self-doubt. Rather than seeking a quick fix or immediate results, one must embrace failure as a natural part of the learning process and persist in their efforts to cultivate inner strength.

The mistake many make is expecting instant confidence after only a few attempts, failing to recognize the importance of resilience and perseverance in developing true self-assurance. Like a painter refining their technique through practice or a musician mastering a difficult piece of music, confidence is a journey that requires patience and dedication.

By focusing on the process of self-improvement and personal growth, rather than fixating on external validation or outcomes, individuals can establish a solid foundation of confidence that empowers them to navigate life's challenges with poise and resilience.

July 24, 2024 | UN

EQUILIBRIUM

In the realm of self-belief, a seemingly excess of conviction in one's capabilities holds tremendous potency. 

The pinnacle of success often lies in the unwavering faith individuals possess in themselves, bordering on a realm of perceived madness. 

To nurture this profound self-assuredness at an early stage is paramount. As the trajectory of life furnishes a plethora of experiences validating the accuracy of one's judgments and the capacity to consistently yield favorable outcomes, a deepened trust in one's intuition emerges as a guiding force. 

Doubting one's innate potential obstructs the pursuit of innovative visions for the future; it is within the audacity of challenging orthodox viewpoints that true worth is unearthed.

Reflecting on a pivotal encounter where the resolute certainty etched upon someone's countenance as grand plans were articulated, the unwavering conviction epitomized the epitome of steadfast belief that sets the standard for unwavering commitment.

The management of personal morale, along with that of one's team, stands as a monumental challenge across various endeavors. Sustaining unwavering faith in oneself becomes imperative amidst relentless external pressures seeking to undermine one’s resolve. 

History attests that most luminaries of success have navigated pivotal junctures where their foresight clashed starkly with prevailing skepticism, affirming their mettle in shaping the course of events.

While self-assurance serves as a potent catalyst for progress, it must harmonize with a profound sense of self-awareness. 

Past reservations towards critique have gradually evolved into a receptive stance; the assumption that criticism embodies a kernel of truth precedes the contemplation of its viability for personal growth. 

The pursuit of truth is a rigorous path fraught with discomfort, yet it draws the line between genuine self-belief and mere self-deception. 

Embracing this delicate equilibrium not only preserves humility but also safeguards against the perils of entitlement and detachment from reality.

REFLECTION

Behold, dear seeker of wisdom and truth, for in the intricate dance of existence, you are not a mere spectator driven by chance. 

You find yourself in the realm of reality as a consequence of a succession of decisions, whether virtuous or flawed, they are unequivocally yours to bear. 

Should you lament the arduous path of dietary mindfulness, the anguish of physical exertion, or the mundane monotony of exercise - heed this, for such tribulations are but fruits of thy own garden. 

Years upon years you may have immersed yourself in the embrace of an unhealthy regime, guided not by the hand of moderation but swayed by the siren song of indulgence. 

Fatigue and frailty, the visages of your being worn thin, are but outcomes etched by the choices you have sown. 

Be it your companions, your daily toils, or the very cadence of time, know this - it is your course of action that guides the helm. 

Blame not the hands of fate, but embrace the responsibility that falls solely on the path you choose to tread. 

Shun the darkness of victimhood, instead, rise as the maestro orchestrating the symphony of your own life.

The narrative of transformation lies within the sculpture of choice; opt for sobriety over indulgence, eschew the company of naysayers, and gravitate towards souls that resonate with optimism and vision. 

Commit to the crucible of physical exertion, nourish thy body with bounty from the earth, and envelop yourself with those who aspire for greatness. 

Let each audacious decision be the harbinger of metamorphosis, setting forth a domino effect that reverberates with grandeur. In the simplicity of a single choice, behold the genesis of profound alteration.

Life, dear traveler, is a fleeting journey where the canvas of time allows for but one stroke of the brush. 

Devote yourself to the path of self-betterment, and be resolute in your vows to break free from the shackles of stagnation. 

Hold yourself accountable and honor the covenant you make with your very being, for in the sanctity of personal allegiance lies the genesis of true empowerment.

Cease the cycle of deceiving oneself, for every promise unfulfilled diminishes the wellspring of self-respect within. 

Let not the composition of regret cloud the horizon of your days, but embark on the voyage of transformation this very moment. 

Embrace your word as your bond, witness the tempest of change reshape your existence, and in this steadfast dedication, unearth the nectar of genuine success and self-love.

RESOLVE

In considering the limitation imposed by one's own "inner critic," we are compelled to reflect upon the profound repercussions that this internal dialogue can have on the course of our lives. 

What manifold possibilities might unfold should we refrain from succumbing to the allure of expedience when faced with formidable challenges? What manner of existence might we inhabit if perseverance reigned supreme over resignation in times of adversity?

Envision a reality in which one remained resolute in the pursuit of every aspiration ever envisioned. The locus of agency in this narrative does not lie in external forces, but rather within the recesses of one's own consciousness. It is the self that must be held accountable for yielding to timidity and reticence.

The crux of the matter lays in mastering the art of disregarding this "inner critic." Such mastery contains within it the potential to revolutionize one's entire existence. By contravening the dictates of this dissenting voice, transformative metamorphoses can be swiftly realized.

The challenge, it seems, does not lie in discerning the path forward, but rather in maintaining the resolve to traverse it. Failure to address this internal discord may, indeed, exact a toll on the full extent of one's unrealized potential.

If the inner voice you are hearing is your own, who, then, is the silent witness to its ceaseless dialogue?

SUBJECT

Let us delve into the enigmatic depths of subjective reality and existential inquiry, transcending conventional discourse. The essence of individuality, fleeting yet profound, encapsulates the singularity of consciousness within the realm of - yourself now.

Navigating the labyrinthine corridors of perception and cognition, we encounter the delicate balance between imagination and direct sensation, the ephemeral nature of self-awareness and the elusive essence of the self.

Human consciousness, complex and clouded by the constraints of perception, offers insight into moral deliberation and ethical quandaries. The subjective experience, tangled in existential uncertainty, prompts us to explore the transformative power of subjective reality on our understanding of consciousness and sentience.

The notion of the self transcends objectivity, existing as an entity beyond quantification and rationalization. Contemplating our exclusive feeling of individuality leads us to navigate the boundary between subjective experience and objective perception, the ineffable essence of "I" and external societal constructs.

Through philosophical introspection, we are called to consider the authenticity of subjective reality, unravelling the intricacies of individual consciousness amidst existential uncertainty. 

The mesmerizing dance of self-awareness offers a glimpse into the enigmatic depths of human consciousness, poised between perception and introspection.

In this labyrinth of existential contemplation, we face the challenge of deciphering the ethereal essence of subjective experience. 

Subjective reality, evoked through introspective thought and narrative, reveals the intricacies of individual consciousness and the mysteries of self-awareness.

As we navigate the expanse of subjective reality, we contemplate the elusive nature of consciousness, the essence of being, and the transformative power of subjective experience. 

Through transcendental exploration of self-awareness and ethical deliberation, we confront the profound intricacies of human consciousness and the mysteries of subjective reality.
