Let’s be honest here, we all have the mask of insecurity. People are usually unaware that they wear this mask. They thought that this mask is their true identity but it's not. We can see this on social media, a lot of people are posting great picture of themselves pretending that they are happy but deep inside they know that they are using this platform to mask their real-life problems. Most of them are sad, depressed, anxious and insecure but they don’t know why. Social medi

Life is like a book. Every year we celebrate birthdays which marks as a new chapter of our life. Life changing decisions are also considered as a new chapter. We often forget that we have limited time. We distract ourselves with delusions and pleasure to make us happy. Unfortunately this method backfires and puts a hole in our life. When this happens, we keep searching for answers. We are looking for ways to cover this hole but we forget that the only way to fix this is to em

We love the idea of a life with no stress but is it possible? Can it be accomplished? Or is it just another idea given to us by our noisy and destructive society? The truth is it is impossible to achieve such feat. The rich got money problems. Having more money doesn’t mean happiness. In fact, wealthier people are more prone to depression and stress because of what they have. Look at how families are dismantled because of money problems. If money is the key to a stress-free a

We’ve heard the news and experienced the catastrophic internet event that happened yesterday. The social media group of Facebook shut down for hours, and people who are hooked into these apps have no idea what to do. Some of them used Twitter to share their own thoughts and opinions about this “shutdown.” We can use this shutdown as a lesson and a reminder that we are so hooked into these apps. We waste so much time by scrolling up and down, comparing our lives, giving away o

Our society is bombarding us with advertisements every day. They tell us what we should buy, they tell us what we should own. They show us their product is better than its competitors. These advertisers do that because they understand basic human psychology. They know that when we hear or see these images and messages, we are attracted to it. Look at our society right now. People are becoming slaves to materialism. Do materialism and more money bring us happiness? The answer

Let’s do some reality check here. Not everyone loves to read a book. Some say it’s boring and difficult, not enough time, costs too much and they just aren’t fond of reading. Before the internet era, these reasons are acceptable but saying these words are just excuses. I know that there are people out there who are suffering in life and have no contact with the outside world. I would like to tell you that those people are exempted from these reasons. If you’re reading this bl

We human beings are social animals. We adapt to our environment. We try to fit in on certain groups of people so that we can interact with one another. We do everything we can to fit it on society’s standards. Throughout our lives, we will encounter two types of people. They are rational and irrational people. Rational people: Realize their goals Work effectively with a group of people Create work that matters Have self-awareness, they admit their own irrationality In hiring

More than a decade ago, I used to write small and draw(awful stickman figures) books that I give to my parents, relatives, and friends. Who would’ve thought this 2018 I’m publishing my first book? But this time it’s different because the whole world can read my work. Writing a book is probably one of the unexpected moments in my adult life. I thought those writing days were over. I guess this experience sums up the saying “Life is a spiral.” I honestly admit that for the past

In today’s society, when we look left and right we see the same thing: people are addicted to their phones. Five years ago, we only saw kids and young adults who are social media addicts. But now social media doesn’t choose any age. Once you have an internet or data connection that’s it, you’re vulnerable to this addiction. It’s your phone screaming to you “Welcome to the club!” Compared to other deadly drugs the endless scroll addiction doesn’t affect us physically. But on t

Life is a journey and experience like no other. Every day we can be better than who we are yesterday, achieve tasks towards our goal, experience growth and have a journey towards the unknown. There are a lot of mysteries and questions in life some of these cannot be answered throughout our lifetime, and some of these can be answered by going through challenges, adversity, facing our fears and curiosity. We human beings are curious by nature. We love to ask questions, learn an

In baseball, home runs are the most celebrated part of the game. Just by swinging your bat with your maximum effort you can score and hopefully win the game. While there is another strategy that baseball teams use to score home runs which is “small ball” - an offensive plan to get a lot of singles, placing runners on a base and then advancing them into scoring position for a run. This tactic is used by baseball teams because it is more efficient, less risk and requires a coll

Every month Millennial Thoughts will feature a book that you need to read to help you improve your life, reach your goals and become a better person. Our book of the month is Rewire: Change Your Brain to Break Bad Habits, Overcome Addictions, Conquer Self-Destructive Behavior by Richard O’Connor, PhD. In today’s day and age, most of us are fortunate enough to live a peaceful life. A life wherein we can eat more than three times a day, binge-watch our favorite shows, have a we

Is it possible to create and live a life like this? In today’s day and age, the people who want to escape their current lifestyle is growing. These are the type of people who live for the weekends and absolutely hate Mondays. These are

Photo by Simon Migaj on Unsplash We’ve all experienced suffering in our lives, we suffer because of our problems like financially, relationship and, events that placed us in a shock or trauma like illness, death, and freak accidents. We whine and complain when we suffer all the time. Why? Because of our entitlement. We thought that we are special, but we're not. We love to point out and accuse other people because of the suffering that is dealt with us. When we are poor, we p

A lot of us are confused when we are building our careers or starting up a business, we always ask ourselves “What is my job?” “What am I here for?”. The answer is your job is to make art. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to paint every now and then. What I mean by art is doing work that matters. Art changes our world. Art defines our generation. Look at our ancestors what did they leave us? It’s all art. From hieroglyphics, pyramids, inventions, stadiums, monuments, stat

Life is full of opportunities. Every day we have the chance to become better at what we do and the opportunity to change our lives. However, when the “door” of opportunity is right in front of us, we close it, shy away from it and say “I’m not good enough.” We always want to become someone who is good or excellent at our jobs or the things we do to make a living. Those words are caused by fear. The fear of getting out of our comfort zone. The fear of being labeled as a failur

Since our book of the month is 12 Rules For Life written by Jordan B. Peterson. I made my own simple list that you can follow or use it as a foundation in your life. So who is Jordan B. Peterson? He is a Canadian clinical psychologist and public intellectual, who is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. His primary areas of study are in abnormal, social, and personality psychology, with a particular interest in the psychology of religious and ideological bel

We love to do our tasks later or tomorrow rather than today. We love to postpone things that can affect our long-term goals in exchange for comfort and relaxation. Why? Because it's fun! We use distractions like video games, binge-watched our favorite shows, party, drink alcohol and other things we do to distract ourselves from our responsibilities and reality. Having fun is part of life, it’s normal for us to relax and be comfortable every once in a while. However, when we h
