Intuition is one of those qualities that you know is there and working in the background, but it's difficult to put your finger on. Sometimes described as the so-called "gut feeling", intuition is defined as, "the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning". Some think of it as nothing more than wishful thinking or an imaginary cognitive ability based on some bias to magic. There are countless studies on intuition that point to this very conclusion that Intuition helps us to navigate world on another level. Perhaps, its our ability to detect minute sensory information that we never notice consciously or a heightened state of awareness we can leverage periodically. Whatever this is, there is no question: intuition is an ability we all have and can make great use out of if we know how. " The only real valueable thing is intuition.

Learning from classical practices to cultivate a deep awareness of the present Often when people think of Zen, they think of meditation. However, the cultivation of deep awareness of the present is maintained during the moment, when we are taking out the garbage or washing the dishes. As the old saying goes: before enlightenment, chop wood carry water; after enlightenment, chop wood carry water. What makes a zen art ? There are many practices such as yoga, chi kung and many others can involve embodiment of a meditative state while 'chopping wood and carrying water'. Many practises include the practice of cultivating ever deeper awareness of the present moment somewhere in the teaching, but a zen art has this kind of awareness as the very foundation stone that all other practices are built on. The zen art can include disciplines ranging from architecture to butoh dance which emerged as a form of trauma healing after World War II. Here are the seven arts of zen:- 1. Arc...

Whether we are thinking of high performers in any field or straight-up geniuses, whom we consider to have the knowledge of the world, it's always fascinating to know how the best and the brightest minds think and act. And while there can never be an all-encompassing resources that perfectly captures the universal patterns of all intelligent people, it is quite easy to filter out common behaviours and thought patterns. And it's also a god idea. Why ? Because by knowing how the smartest people act, we can mould our behaviour to be more likely theirs - though not completely, at least take cues from that information - and can be more effective as a result.  An intelligent person isn't just someone with high IQ, but also someone who applies their knowledge in a smart way. How someone applies the intelligence given to them is a true sign of their overall intelligence, and the extremely intelligent know this, and seek tirelessly to align their actions with their thought and ide...

Fun Fact, the world is always happy to see you suffer. There are a few people in the world who will always want see you go and grow, including yourselves. 3. Life is similar to Boxing game. Defeat is not declared when you fall down. It is declared when you refuse to get up. Put simply, you will only learn something new when you have an experience about something. 4. Always WRONG person teach the RIGHT lessons in life. That is called Life-Experience. Gained by the failures, the lessons, the eminent persons in the world, who failed and failed a lot. 5. Everything is valueable only at 2 times :- 1. Before getting it; and 2. After losing it. True as it is, the things w...
