Discipline Is Stronger Than Motivation (And Here’s Why)
Motivation feels powerful. It’s exciting. It gives you energy. It makes you feel like change is finally possible. But motivation is unreliable. It comes in waves, often triggered by emotion—a video you watched, a conversation you had, a sudden burst of inspiration. The problem is that motivation fades just as quickly as it appears.

Escaping the Shadow: Why Pain Cannot Be Drowned in Poison
By Hazrat Umer The Truth About Heartbreak, Hardship, and the Trap of Addiction We all face moments in life when the world seems to collapse around us. Maybe it’s a business that failed, a dream that shattered, or more commonly in our society, a heart that was broken by someone we loved. In those dark hours, the pain is so heavy that you feel you cannot breathe. Your chest aches, your mind won't stop racing, and all you want is for the world to go silent for just a moment.

My mind
My mind is controversial, I can think opposite things at the same time, and I can have thoughts that I have never asked or even created. I mean, I don't control them. It's a hole, too deep, immeasurable. Like the stars in the universe, the planets, and galaxies, we see only what we are capable of seeing. Today is 10, tomorrow is 1000 and so on. But there is more, there is always more, and it is not a good thing to try to find out, cuz its like a spiral, you could end up being swallowed by it if you keep digging.

Forgiveness Is Not a Prerequisite for Healing
There is a persistent cultural belief often framed as callow wisdom that forgiveness is necessary for healing. Survivors are told that to move forward, they must “let go,” “make peace,” or forgive those who have harmed them. This belief is not only inaccurate; for many survivors but it is also actively harmful.

Just start by forgiving and forgetting
How many times have you heard the words forgive and forget? As far back as I can remember, my mother (God rest her soul) always talked about forgiveness that it is important because it is what our Lord and savior Jesus Christ did for those who betrayed him to be honest I have a real difficulty trying to forgive I mean it's so easy you let go of the hate you let go of the hurt that has been inside your heart your head your soul and you're able to move on I've seen people do it I've heard people talk about how they can just easily forgive those who have betrayed them I have a real difficulty trying to forgive especially those who stabbed me in the back betrayed me and figuratively speaking just left out to die. I have so many former friends that I hold so much hatred towards them, and I don't wanna hold it anymore. I try to let it go, I try to move on, but out of nowhere those memories just come back, and they ignite that fire that I thought I put out.

Why Consuming Less Information Can Make You Smarter
We live in an age of endless information. Articles, videos, podcasts, posts, and opinions are available at all times. While access to knowledge is powerful, too much information can have the opposite effect—it can overwhelm rather than educate.

The Myth of “Having It All Figured Out”
Many people feel like they’re behind in life because they don’t have everything figured out. They see others who seem confident, successful, and certain about their future. This comparison creates pressure and anxiety, as if clarity is something everyone else has already achieved.

Why Being Bored Might Be the Best Thing for Your Brain
Boredom has a bad reputation. We treat it like something to avoid at all costs. The moment there’s silence or stillness, we reach for our phones, scroll endlessly, or look for stimulation. But what if boredom isn’t the enemy? What if it’s actually one of the most valuable mental states we’ve lost?

The One Habit That Quietly Changed My Entire Life
There are many habits people talk about waking up at 5 AM, journaling, meditation, exercising daily, reading books, cold showers, and more. I tried many of them. Some worked, some didn’t.

The Color Line Within the Color Line
Colorism is often described as a preference for lighter skin within communities of color. Yet this definition, while accurate, is incomplete. Colorism is not merely an aesthetic bias or cultural quirk. It is a social technology one that developed within colonial and racial hierarchies to maintain systems of white supremacy without constant direct enforcement. At its core, colorism is a structure that rewards proximity to whiteness and punishes distance from it. It operates through psychological conditioning, social incentives, and internalized hierarchies. Over time, it becomes self-sustaining: communities begin to reproduce the same divisions that were originally imposed upon them.
