“’Why?’ is the most useless question in the universe. The only question with any real meaning is ‘What?’ Asking ‘Why is this happening?’ only serves to disempower you. Asking ‘What do I want to create from this?’ does exactly the opposite. Here is a great secret: the ‘Why’ of anything exists only to produce the […]
“Religions speak of sin and sinners, but let us look at what it really means to sin. Sin is any action against yourself. Everything you feel, believe, or say against yourself is sin. You act against yourself when you judge or blame yourself for something. To be without sin is exactly the opposite: to be […]
“A famous warrior came to Master Hakuin and asked him: — Master, tell me: do heaven and hell really exist? — Who are you? — Hakuin asked. — I am a Warrior from the personal guard of the great emperor. — Nonsense! — snapped Hakuin. — What emperor would keep someone like you? You look […]
“Do not seek outside yourself, but turn within, for truth dwells in the human soul.” — Saint Augustine *Translation from Bulgarian
“If you believe you have nothing to lose, you win. If you believe you have something to gain, you lose. It all comes down to motivation. Why are you doing what you are doing right now? To avoid loss? To achieve gain? Both are the wrong reasons. Life is not about winning or losing. Life […]

“Oh, those obedient, diligent, and healthy people—they always remind me of those optimistic tadpoles that, cheerfully wagging their tails, bask in the sun in some crowded rain puddle—the shallowest of all puddles—without even suspecting that by tomorrow, it will have dried up!” — C.G. Jung, “Memories, Dreams, Reflections” When you are deeply immersed in the […]
“I know from experience, however, that this is not for the best—people should not be outsmarted, even when it is for their own benefit. I do not wish to push anyone off the tracks of their own misguided faith. Perhaps it would be better for that person to reach a total failure than to be […]
Much has been written about what emotions are and the ways to cope with difficult emotions such as anger, fear, jealousy, envy, spite, vengefulness and pain. In my experience as a psychotherapist, however, everything written on this subject can be reduced to one simple thing – to imagine these emotions in the form of a […]
