Lessons learnt from the book THINK STRAIGHT : Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life

Image
  In a world filled with distractions and mental clutter, our ability to think clearly is often compromised. "Think Straight" by Darius Foroux is a powerful book that emphasizes the importance of mastering our thoughts to gain control over our lives. The book highlights how our mindset shapes our actions, decisions, and ultimately, our success. In this blog, I’ll share some of the key lessons I learned from this book and how they can help us develop a clearer, more focused, and productive way of thinking. “If you can change your mind, you can change your life.”  - William James Clear Thinking Requires Proper Training : “The life of wisdom is a life of reason.

It requires proper training.” On the left: A mush of useless thoughts: Worry, stress, suffering, confusion, not knowing what to do. On the right: ONE straight thought that has a (single) useful purpose. We’re always so quick to ...

The Beauty of the Journey: More Than Just a Destination

Image
                      Life is often seen as a journey toward a destination. We set goals, make choices, and push forward, believing that reaching the end is what truly matters.

Captured Moments: Finding Beauty in the Everyday

Image
          Photography has always been more than just capturing moments—it’s about preserving emotions, memories, and the quiet beauty hidden in everyday life. From blooming flowers to the warmth of sunlight on my cat’s fur, each picture I take holds a story, a feeling that I want to remember. Whether it's a flower unfolding its petals, a post-rain droplet glistening on a leaf, or the comforting presence of my cats, these little moments remind me to appreciate the simple yet profound beauty around me.          During my travels, I captured these two scenes that beautifully complement each other. The first photo presents a stunning lake view, framed by two trees, with a distant mountain subtly appearing in the background. My initial focus was on capturing the mountain, as I’ve always been drawn to them, but luckily, the serene lake stole the spotlight. The second photo, though taken near the same spot, offers a completely different feel. T...
