Why Failure Is Feedback, Not Defeat
Failure is one of the most misunderstood experiences in life. For many people, the word itself carries a heavy emotional weight—shame, disappointment, fear, and self-doubt. From an early age, failure is often framed as something to avoid at all costs. Exams are failed, goals are failed, expectations are failed, and each failure can feel like a personal verdict on ability or worth. However, when viewed through a healthier and more productive lens, failure is not defeat. It is feedback- information that guides growth, learning, and eventual success.

“The Power Beneath a Mother’s Feet: The True Path to Success”

We Are Cats.
We are cats. Yes, we are. We are like cats in subtle, sometimes surprising ways. We wander through the world with a mixture of curiosity and caution, always watching, always observing, noticing details that others might miss. A flicker of movement, a change in tone, the way the sunlight falls across a room—these are things that draw our attention, just as a cat’s eyes follow a drifting leaf or a shadow on the wall. We approach life carefully, testing boundaries, gauging our surroundings before we leap. And yet, despite this caution, there is an undeniable boldness within us—a willingness to explore, to chase after what interests us, even when it carries risk.

How to Live Your Truth
Recently, I watched a television show in which first-graders were discussing their truth. They were saying unbelievable things about discovering and recognizing their truth. They also emphasized what their truth was. The six-year-old boys and girls seemed confident about what they were saying. They were talking about the same things that are heard in adult conversations about their orientation.

How to Identify and Deal with Emotional Triggers
Have you ever been having a good day, and you get a telephone call and someone mentions something that upsets you? Have you seen a person who reminds you of someone who caused you pain in the past? Have you ever heard a song that reminded you of something you would rather forget?

What's Next If Changing Does Not Work?
We are taught a simple formula for progress: if something isn’t working, change it. The advice sounds practical, empowering, and modern. Change jobs, change habits, change strategies, change relationships. Movement is framed as growth, and stagnation as failure. But life has a way of complicating this neat equation. Sometimes we change everything—our methods, our mindset, even ourselves—and still nothing works. When change fails, what comes next?

The Village That Learned to Breathe Together
The village of Anjara sat in a wide valley where the air was always moving, yet the people felt strangely suffocated. Life had become crowded with worries. Farmers rushed their work, children hurried their play, and conversations felt like competitions rather than connections. Everyone seemed to be running, but no one knew exactly where.
