Key Ideas
Health
Eat well. Move often. Go easy on the vices. Take care of your mind and body, and your spirit will require less heavy lifting.
Joy
You find it in moments of action and novelty, connection and capability. When you create, learn, experience and share.
It's the thrill and happiness that requires no reward, no validation to receive.
Peace
This is your inner calm.
You can find it in nature, but you also nurture it yourself: by tidying up, taking care of your mind and your heart, saying thank you, forgiving others, accepting what has passed and who you are, staying genuinely true to yourself and aligning with your moral standards.
Communion
It is an unbroken, multi-nodal dialogue between you and your surroundings.
You build it by valuing life, cultivating connections through compassion and love, opening yourself up through vulnerability, attaching securely to other secure people, finding belonging and shepherding it for others by striving for equality.
Purpose
It's the drive, it's what keeps you alive.
You can find it in other people, places and things — or by simply opening doors and holding them open for others.
Wisdom
Wisdom is more than just the accumulation of knowledge, it is the thoughtful and enlightened application of it.
Freedom
You can find it by conquering the demons that keep you paralyzed, small and dependent, by acquiring enough capital to survive and achieve stability, by expressing yourself.

The career pitfall
Today’s career landscape isn’t a lineup of tunnels, it’s a massive, impossibly complex, rapidly changing science laboratory.
Why Career-path-carving is important.
Time. A typical career will take up somewhere between 20% and 60% of your meaningful adult time.
Quality of Life. Your career has a major effect on all your non-career hours.
Impact. Whatever shape your career path ends up taking, the world will be altered by it.
Identity. We tell people about our careers by telling them what we are.

Not a representative state
The 'deathbed' is not a representative state of life. What you desire when you are there might not have much in common with the most meaningful or satisfactory life you could have led.
- The deathbed-you has no future, only present and memories.
- People on their deathbeds think they know their past selves well, but they probably don't.
- They are locked in a time, place and life situation that might be different from yours.
Your past selves
You don’t know your past selves. The older you get, the more you think you understand yourself as a younger person. You have probably forgotten how you were influenced then and might still have the same values.
For instance, you might think that a priority as a child was to fit it. But, if really looking at your diary, you discover that you valued independence back then the same you do now.

Astrology and its perceived benefits
Astrology should not be perceived as a science, but rather as a system that explains each sign's evolution, including facts on personality, life cycles and relationship patterns, based on what the planets do or will do.
Having this in mind, individuals turn to astrology whenever they feel overwhelmed, whether it is about personal or professional stress. In return, they expect astrology to provide them with better perspectives and positive mindset.
Astrology and its believrs
For most of the people, astrology feels like a comforting magic that allows them to escape today's too organized and predictable life.
In order to feel the need to seek for astrology, one should first realize that he or she does not want pre-established answers anymore, but rather the pleasure to discover on own ground the truth, the freedom and the meaning of things. However, there is still a great amount of individuals who believe in astrology in a more rational way, while coming to the conclusion that this is some sort of language, of a tool.
