I want to share with you a beautiful and interesting realization of mine. Growth through sharing. Whenever you share your ideas and your stories, it’s like emptying yourself. You pour out what you are. When you do that, you grow as a vessel, and God refills you with new ideas and understandings about things you…

Blessed.
Lucky. Lucky are the people who are born in a form of heaven, get to live their lives there, die, and go to heaven—good family, good education, good job and career, and so on. Blessed. Blessed are the people who are born in a form of hell, strive, work, and actually bet existence on a…
The Sower.
The parable of the sower in Matthew 13 may be my favorite story from the Bible. Let me share it with you. “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where…
Prayer & Meditation
We should understand that one does not exclude the other. Jesus said in Matthew 6: “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly, I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But…
Free will.
As human beings, we have free will. We can choose what we accept, what we do, and how we do it. Problems start to arise for us when we hit the walls of universal laws. This universe, the world we are living in, has non-negotiable laws. Like the law of gravity. We can choose to…
Gratitude.
Gratitude is being thankful and being ready to show appreciation. Well, first of all, no human being can entertain two thoughts at the same time. You can not think about up and down at the same time. You think about one and then the other. And second but not least important, we each have a…
Motivation.
Usain Bold said at one point: “I trained for four years to run nine seconds. And people give up when they don’t see results in two months.” Do you think that he felt motivated for each second of those four years? I don’t think so. Four years is a healthy amount of time. Many things…
Volunteer.
I want you to understand that you don’t need to do anything but can do whatever you want. You don’t need to be educated. But you can educate yourself. You don’t need to be in shape or healthy. But you can work out and be mindful about what you eat and drink. You don’t need…
Deeds.
Napoleon Hill wrote the book Think and Grow Rich. It’s a fantastic book, but what is more impressive is the process he went through to write that book. It took him twenty-something years of interviewing the most successful people of his time to understand what success is. Amazing. One of my favorite quotes by him…
Student.
I want you to see yourself, your life, and your journey as a puzzle. Your puzzle is different than mine. Each of us has hi’s or her unique puzzle. This should teach you that you don’t need to follow anyone mindlessly. Listen to everybody and take bits and pieces from here and there, but filter…
