What Are You Restless and Hungry For?

by

Hawaii

“Stay hungry, stay foolish.”
Steve Jobs

For as long as I can remember, I have been hungry and restless.

And seeing how it is human nature not to like your own “nature”, no pun intended, I have been deeply envious of those who are the opposite of this: grounded, settled, relaxed, content, and at peace with the process of life.

But maybe, just maybe, restless and hungry are conditions from which we all suffer silently in the windmills of our minds and in the sanctum of our hearts. Maybe we just learn to hide it as we grow up and grow older, and learn to go with the flow because, well, what sense does it make to go against the flow?

Travel with Confidence: How to End Your Excuses and Go

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.”
~Anais Nin

Growing up in Iran was an interesting experience.

The word travel in Farsi is ‘Safar’, and the stories still ring in my ears about so-and-so’s ‘Safar’ to such and such place. I remember during my childhood, the grownups would discuss someone’s travels overseas as the main subject of conversation for weeks – first, the discusses started before this said person would go on their trip and then all the wild speculation as to what they are doing during their trip and last but not least, [Read more…] about Travel with Confidence: How to End Your Excuses and Go

Spring is here. The mornings are crisp. The breeze is intoxicating. The trees show off a lushness and richness that is a feast to the eyes, even if you have seen it a thousand times before.

And life is good, very good indeed, despite anything and everything that you may have going on. All it takes is you believing it to be so. A little trick of nature, a little game of the universe, a little irony for our own good. Life is Good if you just believe it to be good.

That’s just it, isn’t it? What things we believe, what thoughts we think, what stories we tell ourselves. That becomes our very reality. In theory, it is so simple that we must all be fools to think a single negative thought at any instant in time – and yet, human nature has endowed us with endless challenges.

The Power of Positive Thinking: 22 Thoughts to Change Your Life

The Power of Positive Thinking

In my lovely Iranian culture, where the power of positive thinking and inner peace hardly makes an appearance, I grew up seeing the terrible impact of this mindset around me all the time: Some people were apparently born lucky and others, well, not so lucky.

“We are each responsible for all of our experiences.”
Louise Hay

I would hear grown ups talk about how “lucky” this person is and how sadly this other person’s life turned out. How someone ended up with their own company or rich by marriage and oh how it was always about “luck”!

It was really scary to think of myself tossed into the well of life and swished around uncontrollably as I waited with baited breath to see if life spits me out as lucky or unlucky. “Oh God, please let me be the “lucky” kind.” I would beg in my childhood prayers, “I don’t like the stuff they say about the “unlucky” ones!” [Read more…] about The Power of Positive Thinking: 22 Thoughts to Change Your Life
