The World Is Always In Motion
Human beings are always moving towards growth, either positive or negative (backward growth).

Emotions and Transformative Experiences
Staying inside our comfort zones keeps us from having regular transformative experiences. More than logic or reason, emotions are what invokes transformation in humans.
Emotions are tied to memory, which is fluid and is affected by deep, intense emotions.

Our Identity Is Not A Fixed Entity
Our identity is changing according to our behaviour and life experiences. We are the designers of our personality and can mould it according to our desires.
Just as a garden can be either made more beautiful or ugly, we can make our identity more polished or refined, and can also make it entangled and confused.

Our Internal Limitations
We don’t know how powerful or capable we are, as most of our abilities remain dormant.
We don’t push ourselves to attain the seemingly impossible due to the internal limitations and mindsets about what we can and cannot do. Our identity and personality can change based on a demanding situation, internal or external.

Action Inspires
- Action paradoxically becomes our biggest motivation and inspiration.
- Any bold action which makes one progress forward reshapes our conscious and subconscious beliefs.
- The reason we feel stuck, lethargic, demotivated or confused is because we are not taking action.
- Action becomes the catalyst towards better ideas, and opening of windows for clearer thinking, shattering our subconscious patterns.

Action Leads To Inspiration
Contrary to popular belief, inspiration does not necessarily lead to creativity.
Creating things (action) leads to inspiration, which then generates a greater desire to create more. Acting out one’s creativity is how we become really creative.

Today Is The Future
Most people keep planning, visualizing and imagining their future life as if they are watching some other person live it. That person is you. If you intentionally live each day, perfecting and maximising your vision of the future, instead of killing time or just living a bread and butter, day-to-day existence, you steer your life towards the direction you want.
We need to act like the person we wish to become, as we are what we do all day.
What Your Brain Needs To Thrive
- Nutrition: We are what we eat, and having a good nutritious diet, full of green vegetables, nuts and seeds goes a long way. Avoid processed foods at any cost.
- Oxygen: or fresh air is a primary need of the brain. Any daily exercise routine is best for brain health.
- Information: The brain needs information to process, preferably high quality and diverse. Active learning, along with continuous mental challenges that get the cylinders firing is the way to nourish the brain and form connections. True learning reframes our entire mental model and helps the brain evolve.
- Love: What keeps us happy and healthy is good, loving relationships, and the care and touch of loved ones.
