Beautiful Day

Such a beautiful day!❤️ Who said that beautiful days are gone? Beautiful days are never gone! It’s always a matter of perception. We all live in our own perception of reality, so we only can experience what we’re living. It can be so easy to get overshadowed by a bad day, when you’re spending your time focusing on the negative.

I truly believe that it’s important to find those little acts of kindness in the situations around us and it’s up to us to make a choice to see the positive in every situation. Maybe we just have to look a little harder sometimes, but there’s always beauty in the smallest things. 😊

NEVER REGRET A DAY IN YOUR LIFE… GOOD DAYS GIVE HAPPINESS, BAD DAYS GIVE EXPERIENCE, WORST DAYS GIVE LESSONS, AND BEST DAYS GIVE MEMORIES.

Everything’s peachy

Sometimes when something gets harder, it masks the fact that we are stronger. We’re not getting worse, maybe we’re feeling we’re less confident, but that’s not necessarily true, we’re just facing new challenges. We shouldn’t lose hope, we’d better have faith and trust in ourselves, because we’re able to handle whatever comes our way, even if we’re not always doing it in a spectacular way, but we should remember that we will get through it all, no matter what. Life doesn’t always give you what you want, or what you think you want, it gives you what you need…. Many times we’re not sure what that is exactly… but we should always hold the vision and trust the process… everything is how it should be, everything’s peachy!

Keeping Mystery Alive

The mystery of the beauty of philosophy lies not in removing the mystery, but to discover its beauty. Let’s keep a sense of mystery alive…
One long strand of philosophical reflection attempts to empty the universe of mystery. Many philosophers have aimed to dispel superstitions, magical thoughts, irrational beliefs and uncanny appearances. Loving truth and knowledge, they have tried to understand the universe and themselves without calling for supernatural help. On this approach, philosophy ends with the disappearance of mystery. An omniscient intelligence would find nothing mysterious, but would have no need of philosophy, either.
Still, philosophy has never totally effaced the idea of mystery, and we can ask about its nature and try to explain why we have it. A mystery is something we do not understand, something that puzzles our senses, imagination or understanding. Some mysteries are solved. Some await a solution. Others remain unsolved for purely contingent reasons. Still others remain mysteries because we lack the intellectual ability to solve them, or because trying to think of a ’solution’ is already wrong-headed.

First of all we should distinguish natural from supernatural mysteries. Natural mysteries are things we do not understand, but which, if we finally dispel them, we will understand by thought, observation and experience without appeal to supernatural intelligence or agency. Natural mysteries can be little or big. A little mystery is the random disappearance of my socks, or why it rained living fish in the desert. Big natural mysteries are puzzles like the nature of gravity, dark matter, the Big Bang, the ultimate composition of the universe, and so on.
Believing that natural mysteries have natural explanations, we have sought for these explanations and have been very successful in dispelling some of them. For example, the role of the heart was a mystery for a long time, and there were many ideas about its function. However, when Harvey proved that the heart is a pump for pushing blood through the body, he solved the mystery. This does not mean that we will always be successful in dispelling natural mysteries, but our efforts to understand are not pointless. Magic tricks, too, are mysterious to those who do not know how the magician does them.
Supernatural mysteries also come in small and large sizes. Small ones include sightings of ghosts, the operations of poltergeists, communication with dead loved ones, astral projection, near-death experiences, and so on. We do not know how to take any of this, but even if we believe in the afterlife and immaterial spirits, such things are still mysterious to us.

After establishing an individual philosophy, reorganizing your life, and finding your dharma and spiritual path, there is another step to take on your spiritual journey. You are to take responsibility for your own life.
Well, many people are in the habit of blaming someone else for their unfortunate situations. Whatever is wrong in a person’s life is blamed on unfair sibling relationships, taxes, imperfect schools, or having been born at the wrong time etc.

Understand your relationships, but let go of blaming. There is nothing in your mysterious life that is not your choice, your doing, your karma. It may sound harsh, but it is liberating.
