Amidst the boredom and stress of everyday life, we must not forget about the importance of having fun.

The irony of being likeable is that the more we try to find the tips, tricks, and secrets, the less likeable we will probably be.

There is no single "life hack" that can make life easy. The most effective life hack is accepting and embracing life's complexity, because within this rough, lays the gold of simplicity.

Making good friends and forming close, strong relationships are some of the most important aspects of human life. But why is making and maintaining real connection often so hard? We must understand that the depth of our friendships and relationships is dependent on the depth of our willingness to share our true selves with the world.

In order to tap into the give and take of the world, we each must find our passions and purposes in life. It is a balance of understanding what you enjoy, what you are uniquely good at, and how you can contribute it the world beyond yourself. It is this balance that helps us overcome the difficultly of finding fulfilling work and success.

Happiness is one of the most elusive elements of human life. We are often told that there are methods and equations the lead to constant happiness. Is this true? Can we always be happy? Perhaps happiness calls for a much different perspective.

Can we achieve both great sex & true love in life? Is the human mind ready and equipped to support this balance? It is up to us to decide.

We are often told that we should maintain daily routines in order to be happy and successful. But just as important as having healthy daily habits and routines, is having healthy detachment from routine. If we wish to remove boredom and mundaneness from our life and, instead, keep life fresh and rich with wonder, we must be careful about what we attach to routine.

In a world with over 7 billion people, can we all maintain a unique sense of self? Can we coexist as a species, where everyone sees the same world differently? It is through a combination of empathy and self-awareness that we can begin to try.

We must consider life, not just in how we can transcribe it into words, but also in how we can feel and experience it beyond the capacity of language.

Falling in love is easy. Staying in love, however, is a very different beast to tame. Maintaining true love within a relationship requires effort and attention, and we must not forget this if we wish to truly experience its wonder.

If we wish to enjoy our individuality and share it with the world, we must embrace the inevitable feeling of loneliness. We must meditate with it and reflect on the depth of self it can provide.

As humans, we are stricken with the desire for perfection, but the perpetual inability to ever truly achieve it. But it is this conflict that fuels us to continue to progress and strive in life. A life of perfection and certainty would be boring and stagnant, and so we must learn how to live happily without it.

By nature, we are all selfish. But how we use our selfishness is up to us. With mindful restraint and empathy, we can learn how to overcome our selfishness and exhibit selflessness with the world.

How much weight and power should our career goals have over our life? Is it more important to accomplish them and sacrifice a well-rounded life? Or is there an effective balance?

Time changes everything. Life is in constant flux and if we do not learn how to live with and accept change, we do not live at all.

There are many things we strive to experience in life. Things like happiness, wealth, fame, or love. But there is one thing far simpler. One thing that makes us truly feel alive.

Why is that some people succeed in life while others do not? What separates successful people from the unsuccessful? Is it just a matter of hard work? Or perhaps it’s luck? Most likely, it's is a little bit of both.

One of the most formative things in life is who we choose to spend our time with. What people we choose to call friends and partners. It is very important that we choose wisely because these people have the power to either make or break us.

What if we could live our entire life with the light-hearted spirit of a child? What if we could find wonder and appreciation in even the simplest and mundane things? What if even when life is boring, it still feels like something worth celebrating? With the right perspective, perhaps we can do all these things and constantly feel intoxicated by life's magnificence.

It is not who you can control outside of yourself, but what you can control inside yourself that makes someone a strong archetypal leader.
