Animals can't control their thoughts, but we, as humans can, which is our biggest advantage.

Our Unfair advantage

Well, there's a saying that goes like this, "Your thoughts create your reality" - Well this is a true statement because when the vibrations of our thoughts match the vibrations of the thing that we want, it'll have to appear in our life - The String Theory - backed by most famous personalities and scientists like Einstein, Nikola Tesla, etc.

Thinking = Reality

The term "Abracadabra" literally means "As I speak, I create"

It may seem a little difficult but trust me it's as easy as cutting a cake. Whatever content that we watch (on social media) changes it to the type that we want to become.Example: If someone wants to buy a house in Plam Jumeriah, so, instead of watching something random, start watching about those houses, about Palm Jumeirah, about Dubai. This constantly feeds your mind of the things that you want, thus your goal never slips off. It's more like redirecting your thoughts to the right path.

Controlling our thoughts

Whatever is happening in your life right now is, in some or the other way, manifested by your thoughts in the past.

Our thoughts, eventually, shape our belief systems in our subconscious mind and those belief systems dictate our actions, and our actions dictate our reality.Being aware of our belief systems is one the important starting steps on our way to success, getting aware of what limiting belief systems we have and then working towards breaking them makes us truly fearless and unstoppable.

Subconcious

Controlling your thoughts is pretty easy, and they truly dictate how our lives are. Good thoughts create a good life, and bad thoughts create a bad one.Our belief systems in our subconscious mind dictate our actions and those actions dictate our reality.

Ending line

As humans, we've got the biggest gift from god - controlling our thoughts and thinking. In this way, we can achieve what we desire and live our lives as we want.

The Power of Your Thinking

✔️ Consumption Period: The phase where you read, watch, or listen to new information. ✔️ Digestion Period: The phase where you process, retain, and apply what you’ve learned. ⚠️ Most people focus only on consuming, but true learning happens during digestion.

1️⃣ The Two Stages of Effective Learning

❌ Myth: Consuming more information = better learning. ✅ Reality: Retention is more important than speed. 🎯 Focus on: How well you retain and use information, not just how much you consume.

2️⃣ The Biggest Learning Mistake

⚠️ Neglecting digestion leads to forgetting up to 90% of what you consume. 📌 Learning isn’t about remembering everything, but retaining what’s useful. 🛠️ Action Step: Prioritize processing & applying knowledge instead of just collecting it.

3️⃣ Why Digestion is the Key to Retention

(p) - "How-To" Learning 🔧 This is step-by-step knowledge, like coding, clinical techniques, or playing an instrument. ✅ Digestion Tip: Practice immediately after learning to reinforce it.

4️⃣ Understanding Procedural Knowledge

(A) – Connecting to What You know 🔄 Relating new information to something familiar (e.g., comparing electrical circuits to water flow). 🤔 Digestion Tip: Critique the analogy—ask yourself how well it applies and where it fails.

5️⃣ Understanding Analogous Knowledge

(C) – Theories & Principles📚 These are big ideas, like Newton’s laws, programming paradigms, or economic theories. 🗺️ Digestion Tip: Use mind maps to visualize connections between concepts.

6️⃣ Understanding Conceptual Knowledge

(E) – Supporting Information🔍 Includes statistics, research studies, and historical data that back up concepts. ﻿🔄 Digestion Tip: Store & rehearse this information periodically to improve recall.﻿

7️⃣ Understanding Evidence-Based Knowledge

(R) – Quick Facts & Details📌 These are names, dates, formulas, or technical details you might need later. 🧠 Digestion Tip: Use flashcards or spaced repetition for quick recall.﻿

8️⃣ Understanding Reference Knowledge

❌ Problem: Consuming too much without processing leads to mental overload. ⚖️ Balance Tip: For every hour of learning, spend at least 30 minutes reviewing, summarizing, or applying.

9️⃣ Avoiding Overconsumption & Information Overload

✅ Retention & application > Consumption. 📌 Use structured methods like PACER to categorize & digest information effectively. ⏳ Consistency is key—the more you apply, the better you retain.

🔟 Final Takeaway: Learning is a Process, Not a Race

How to Remember Everything You Read

Think about self-control less as the quality of a person and more as the quality of a place.There are some places and situations that lean toward lower self-control and others that lean toward higher self-control. Self-control is about your context as much as your character.Put yourself in good positions.

To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping,to smile without hostility at people and institutions,to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters;to be more faithful in our work,to show greater patience,to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism:all these are things we all can do.

Self-control is about our context as much as our character.

3-2-1 Thursday: Self-Control As A Quality Of Place, And Good Positions

“Most of what we think, feel, and do is not under our conscious control.”

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Most thoughts, actions, and emotions are driven by the unconscious mind.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Consciousness is like a “CEO” that only intervenes in critical moments.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Example: Reflexively hitting the brake before consciously recognizing danger.</li></ul>

The Unconscious Runs the Show

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">The brain constructs reality by filling gaps (e.g., blind spots) and making assumptions.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Sensory input is limited; what we experience is a curated version of reality.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Optical illusions demonstrate how easily the brain is fooled.</li></ul>

Perception is a Brain-Made Illusion

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">The brain can learn to interpret new inputs (e.g., UV light) with practice.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Skills like driving become automatic as the unconscious takes over.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">This adaptability allows for future tech integration (e.g., sensory enhancements)</li></ul>

Brain Plasticity and Adaptability

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Charles Whitman’s violent outburst was linked to a brain tumor pressing on his amygdala.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Behavior is shaped by biology (genes, brain chemistry) and environment, not just choice.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Justice systems should focus on rehabilitation over punishment.</li></ul>

Case Studies Challenge Free Will

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Different brain regions compete, causing internal conflicts (e.g., cravings vs. willpower).</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Decisions emerge from these battles, not a single “self”.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Explains habits, addictions, and self-sabotage</li></ul>

The Brain is a “Team of Rivals”

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Actions stem from unconscious processes, not conscious intent.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Blameworthiness is outdated; behavior is often beyond conscious control.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Society must rethink moral responsibility using neuroscience.</li></ul>

Free Will is an Illusion

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Tasks like walking require immense unconscious computation.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">AI struggles with these tasks, highlighting the brain’s sophistication.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Consciousness only narrates actions after they occur.</li></ul>

The Hidden Complexity of Simple Tasks

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Recognize unconscious biases to make better decisions.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Trust intuition (unconscious processing) in complex tasks.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Embrace adaptability—your brain can rewire itself.</li></ul>

Practical Insights for Daily Life

How the unconscious mind controls our behavior.

If the conscious mind—the part you consider to be you—is just the tip of the iceberg, what is the rest doing?   In this sparkling and provocative new book, the renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman navigates the depths of the subconscious brain to illuminate surprising mysteries: Why can your foot move halfway to the brake pedal before you become consciously aware of danger ahead? Why do you hear your name being mentioned in a conversation that you didn’t think you were listening to? What do Ulysses and the credit crunch have in common? Why did Thomas Edison electrocute an elephant in 1916? Why are people whose names begin with J more likely to marry other people whose names begin with J? Why is it so difficult to keep a secret? And how is it possible to get angry at yourself—who, exactly, is mad at whom?   Taking in brain damage, plane spotting, dating, drugs, beauty, infidelity, synesthesia, criminal law, artificial intelligence, and visual illusions, Incognito is a thrilling subsurface exploration of the mind and all its contradictions.

Have you ever felt tension, depression, sadness, joy ? Weeks and months and years at time, right? These are not feelings .What we know is that suffering is just the refusal to accept what is. That's it.

Feelings Or Symptoms

Etymologically, it comes from Latin word to "from below to bear." Or to "resist, endure, put under".So, healing is really just letting yourself feel.

Suffering

We were taught not be too too loving, we'd get hurt; too smart, we'd get bullied; too fearful, we'd be vulnerable. To be compliant with what other people wanted us to feel.(No wonder we still respond the way we do)

What they wanted?

So its not about changing how you feel.It's about listening.Not accepting what they appear to mean-that's important-but really following your instincts down they are trying to signal.They are how you communicate with yourself.

Instincts

The feelings you most suppress are the most important ways you guild yourself.Your apprehension to listen is not your own desire.In the end the choice is yours.

Know more

Emotional intellience is not how infrequent you feel anythiing "Bad" because you're developed the discipline and wisdom "not to".

Your habits and thought patterns (paradigms) shape your life, and changing them is key to achieving new outcomes.

Paradigms Control Results

Success starts in the mind; you must believe in your ability to change before you can see results.

Mindset is the Foundation of Success

To break limiting beliefs, you must replace negative mental programming with positive affirmations and visualization.

Reprogramming the Subconscious

Knowledge alone isn’t enough; consistently applying new beliefs through action is what leads to transformation.

Action Creates Change

Surrounding yourself with positive, successful people helps reinforce a mindset of growth and possibility.

Environment Influences Thinking

Your emotions play a huge role in shaping your actions. Learning to control them can help you align with your goals.

Emotions Drive Behavior

Setting clear, specific, and emotionally charged goals is essential to shifting your paradigm.

Goal-Setting with Clarity

Changing deep-rooted beliefs takes time and effort, but persistence ensures transformation.

Persistence is Key

Believing in yourself and practicing gratitude reinforce positive paradigms and attract better outcomes.

Faith and Gratitude Strengthen Change

By controlling your thoughts and beliefs, you can reshape your life and achieve anything you desire.

You Can Create Any Reality

"Better attitude leads to better habits and better habits lead to better life."

"To change your life- you MUST change your paradigm. 

When you're doing something that's out of the ordinary, your mental programing, your paradigm, will try and stop you. If you want to win, you must keep going. Your paradigms may be masked in complacency, fear, worry, anxiety, insecurities, self-doubt, mental hurry and self-loathing—the result is keeping you STUCK....locked in a box and starved of your dreams and ambitions. To change your life—you MUST change your paradigm. The change is not easy, but it's worth it, and the results are lasting. Bob Proctor will show you his proven methods for doing so. This book will synthesize his decades of study, application, and teaching to: • Explain what paradigms are and how they guide every move you make • Teach you how to identify your paradigms • Show you how to make your own Paradigm Shift • Help you transform your finances, health and lifestyle when you change your paradigm • Guide you on how to replace a paradigm that doesn't serve you well with a new one that frees you to create the life you really want Bob will break through the myth many people have about success—that long hours and hard work are sufficient to achieve lasting success. Because without changing your paradigm, no amount of hard work and long work hours will make a measurable, lasting difference in your success. Once you go through Bob Proctor's Paradigm Shift Process, you will expose yourself to a brand new world of power, possibility and promise.

Bob Proctor

Applying Stoicism in Modern Life

A philosopher asks how ancient Stoicism can help us flourish today Whenever we worry about what to eat, how to love, or simply how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal is more elusive. In How to Be a Stoic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers Stoicism, the ancient philosophy that inspired the great emperor Marcus Aurelius, as the best way to attain it. Stoicism is a pragmatic philosophy that focuses our attention on what is possible and gives us perspective on what is unimportant. By understanding Stoicism, we can learn to answer crucial questions: Should we get married or divorced? How should we handle our money in a world nearly destroyed by a financial crisis? How can we survive great personal tragedy? Whoever we are, Stoicism has something for us—and How to Be a Stoic is the essential guide.

Massimo Pigliucci is an author, blogger, podcaster, as well as the K.D. Irani Professor of Philosophy at the City College of New York. His academic work is in evolutionary biology, philosophy of science, the nature of pseudoscience, and practical philosophy. His books include How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life (Basic Books) and Nonsense on Stilts: How to Tell Science from Bunk (University of Chicago Press). His new book is The Quest for Character: What the Story of Socrates and Alcibiades Teaches Us about Our Search for Good Leaders (Basic Books). More by Massimo at https://massimopigliucci.org.

The Forty Rules of Love

True happiness isn’t about impressing others _it’s about contributing to something meaningful.Quote: “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” — Mahatma Gandhi

Happiness Comes from Being Useful

Your past doesn’t control your future. You are not a prisoner of your experiences—you are the creator of your life. Quote: “Though nobody can go back and make a new beginning, anyone can start over and make a new ending.” — Chico Xavier

The Past Does Not Define You

Most of our struggles come from relationships. Learn to separate your tasks from others’ expectations. Quote: “When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.” — Donald Miller

Interpersonal Relationships Are Key

If you chase validation, you’ll never be free. The courage to be disliked is the courage to be truly yourself. Quote: “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” — Lao Tzu

Live for Yourself, Not for Approval

Happiness is not something we earn—it’s a mindset we choose every day. Quote: “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” — Aristotle

You Can Choose to Be Happy Now

❝ What if you could free yourself from the need for approval? ❞
This book teaches us how to live on our own terms, without fear of judgment.

A single book can change your life. Already an enormous bestseller in Asia, with more than 3 million copies sold, The Courage to be Disliked demonstrates how to unlock the power within yourself to be the person you truly want to be. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, it follows an illuminating conversation between a philosopher and a young man. The philosopher explains to his pupil how each of us is able to determine our own lives, free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others. It's a way of thinking that's deeply liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change, and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves. The result is a book that is both highly accessible and profound in its importance. Millions have already read and benefited from its wisdom. Now that The Courage to be Disliked has been published for the first time in English, so can you
