After writing my 'Stuck' post yesterday, an idea came to my mind and that is to write daily anyways.

The reason is that writing is definitely helpful to close the gap between where I am and where I am going. So, why not start now?

I know my writing is terrible....at this moment. That's a good reason to start writing now on a daily basis. And the topic I want to write about today is "impermanence".

Sometimes, I am in a situation where I am supposed to offer some tips for people who are stuck. Then, I would say something like this.

"Make clear what you really want. Set a goal and work on it."

It sounds very simple. Yes, very simple but it doesn't mean it's easy. I set my goal more than eight years ago. And I have been working on it. But for the last several months, I feel stuck. What should I do?

You may think you are an American. You may think you are a Korean. You may think you are an Argentina. 

You are WRONG! You are an African!

Don't be confused with appearance of ​Africans today. Appearance is just the appearance. If you are smart enough to understand the evolution of human being, you should know that you are an African.

ignorance
/ˈɪɡn(ə)r(ə)ns/
noun
lack of knowledge or information

Ignorance is 'not knowing'. Most of the time, we don't even know that we don't know. Once we know that we don't know, we can do something about it.

So, knowing one's own ignorance is the starting point. Once you realize that you don't know, you can start your study. And only study resolves the ignorance.

A good news is that there is ample information available on the Internet these days.

sacrifice
/ˈsakrɪfʌɪs/
noun

1. an act of slaughtering an animal or person or surrendering a possession as an offering to a deity.

It's a powerful word. Nobody wants to sacrifice anything. And that's the major roadblock for us to reach our big dreams.

Let us ask once again, "Do I really want it?". If not, you don't sacrifice anything. Only when you want it badly, you surrender, you give up something you don't want to give up. You must get it whatever it takes.

Ask yourself once again, "Do I really want it?".  

Education is a noun, ​the process of providing people with information about an important issue.

However, education is not teaching, rather facilitation according to Albert Einstein. Education has a latin word origin,  'educo', which means lead out, draw up, bring up, reat.

Providing people with information is not the goal but means to draw up or bring up from within.

Placebo is a noun, a substance that is not a medicine, used as standard of comparison in testing the effectiveness of a new medicine.

It is said that even 30% of the effect comes from placebo. Without taking a medicine, you get certain effect by just thinking you took the medicine. It is quite an interesting phenomenon.

Exploitation is a noun, the process of making use of something so that you gain as much as possible from it.

Osho pointed out that it is the ego's work. The ego wants to use other humans for one's benefit, it doesn't love people.
​

Perception is a noun, meaning a particular way of understanding or thinking about something.

The world exists as it is and there is no meaning itself. Meanings are created by people who observe it. There is no meaning outside. You are the creator of the meaning.

It's all about interpretation or understanding of what's happening outside. If you misinterpret or mis-understand, your world is based on the misinterpretation or misunderstanding.

​

Consent is a noun, which means permission to do something.

Eleanor Roosevelt pointed out the important truth that it is always YOU who make you feel inferior. The truth applies everything about you. You are responsible how you feel about yourself. It doesn't matter whatever other people say about you. It's you telling you who you are, not others.
