1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 60: Look For the Answer Within Yourself.

Sometimes it feels like nothing makes sense. Sometimes we feel tired, or angry, and we don't know why, we just feel like something's wrong, and we wish we could find out exactly what the problem is. We try to pass the time, to think about other things, to stay busy, or to sleep. We try … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 60: Look For the Answer Within Yourself. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 58: Culture Contrast, The Music Business.

I was born in the third world, right by the equator, in a country so hot and so violent you might think you're in hell if you came to visit. If you looked a bit closer though, you might find that it is also a place of peaceful villages, a place of family harmony, a … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 58: Culture Contrast, The Music Business. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 56: Watch What You Say.

I hear people talk about so many useless and random things. I don't criticize them on the spot, or behind their back to anyone, since I remember the days when I also used to speak just for the sake of speaking, just to be seen, just to be heard and acknowledged. I always had to … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 56: Watch What You Say. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 54: Remaining Present While Understanding We Are Beyond Life.

Sometimes it's hard to let go of our ego. We talk about it, we say we believe in the Self beyond the ego, yet as soon as temptation comes we fall in its trap, as soon as anger and frustration hit, we are quick to let our wrath unfold upon everything in its path. We … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 54: Remaining Present While Understanding We Are Beyond Life. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 53: From Tired to Inspired.

Today was another day. I'm tired, but I have enough energy to learn, to read, to write. I'm faded, I ate some pizza so I feel a bit heavy, but I'm comfortable. Today I was thinking back on my fam, the ways in which they may have changed while I've been gone away, the way … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 53: From Tired to Inspired. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 52: Spontaneous Writing, A New Life.

So many things on my mind that I want to write down, but when I sit down to write it's like I don't know what or how. It reminds me of how I started my very first post of this daily thousand-word series. Although some days I feel more clarity than others, most times I … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 52: Spontaneous Writing, A New Life. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 51: Working Back Home and Abroad.

I'm at work at the moment. Normally we don't have internet connection here to access sites not related to the job itself, but I just randomly tried to get on WordPress today and it worked, and there's a lot of free time in between calls, so it's a perfect moment for me to get started … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 51: Working Back Home and Abroad. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 50: 50 Days Writing! Goals Review.

Half a hundred days of writing and posting a thousand words. I've failed at some other goals during this time, and I've restarted them right back for another attempt, but I'm especially happy that I've been able to stay on track with this particular goal. I was just letting my wife know about it. It's … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 50: 50 Days Writing! Goals Review. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 49: Don’t Become Discouraged.

It's easy to become discouraged, and to fall into a deeply depressive state, if we continually dwell upon all the death and destruction that takes place on daily basis, all around us at all times. There are many, many horrible deeds being consciously committed by many people, and there are also many small acts of … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 49: Don’t Become Discouraged. →
