“The great Buddhist saint Nagarjuna used to wander naked, except for a simple loincloth—and, somewhat absurdly, carrying a golden alms bowl given to him by a king who was one of his followers. One night, as he was about to lie down to sleep among the ruins of an ancient monastery, he noticed a thief […]
Desire is the energy that makes us move forward and develop. To take risks and seek new experiences. But why do some people achieve their goals while others don’t? According to Richard Rudd, the author of the book “Gene Keys“, the answer is simple: commitment. He explains that success and fulfilment stem from the 29th […]
According to Pamela Kribbe, if we wish to embody Christ consciousness in our lives (love), we need to make a transition from a life dominated by the energy of the third chakra (will) to a life guided by the gentler, non-violent energies of the fourth chakra (the heart). This transition encompasses all areas of our […]
This article is far too good not to be shared. It is titled “The Catastrophe Called Success,” written by Tennessee Williams, and it exists in Bulgarian translation thanks to the creator of the website librev.com, Zlatko Enev.

That is how I became […]
I recently came across an article on economy.bg about “Successful People Who Failed First.” And I have a soft spot for stories about people who overcame discouragement after failure.

According to the founder of humanistic psychology, A. Maslow, within us lies what he calls the ‘Jonah complex’ – a fear of our own greatness. “We fear our highest possibilities (as well as our lowest). We usually shy away from becoming what we can glimpse in our most perfect moments, in the most perfect conditions, […]

Because the way we answer this question determines another one as well: how to achieve success. Different means lead to different kinds of success. […]
“If you think you have nothing to lose, you win. And if you think you have to win something, you lose. It all comes down to motivation. Why are you doing what you are doing now? To avoid a loss? Or to achieve a gain? A wrong reason in both cases. Life is not about […]
