Do we live the life we choose?

On automaticity, urgent vs. important activities and finitude of existence. Would it help us realize that the life we live “expands to fill the time available for its completion,” as the English humorist and historian C. Northcote Parkinson said? What if our lives expand with the activities we choose without much…

Why do we fail at meditations?

Two things There are two primary reasons people often struggle with meditation practice. First, it relates to our natural inclination to prioritize urgent tasks over important ones. Since people usually perceive forming a new habit like meditation as non-urgent, they delay or postpone it indefinitely. “You sit there bored and…

A game that you can’t stop playing

It’s a lifetime game. Have you ever played a game that you couldn’t stop playing? I almost dropped out of my studies when I started playing Civilisation. I couldn’t abandon the kingdom I built over a few nights to study economics, and commuting to the university was entirely out of the question. Defense of my cities against these Roman legions was…

It teaches me that even though there are many challenging, even painful moments, I can still see that there’s so much more in my life. All those good things are still there; they don’t disappear. It’s just helpful to realize that. Then suddenly, my challenge is just a part of the vast emotional landscape. There’s still so much to enjoy as days go by…
