Hey friends,
Here is the weekly dose of inspiration and learning. Every Sunday I try to send you some nuggets of wisdom, some of my explorations throughout the week.
So I hope you will enjoy this issue as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Video I watched đ
My thought : The editor deserves an award for this video, just take a look at the cinematography. Every scene is worth watching over and over again and not just the visuals that amazed me, look at the lyrics. This is an art piece that everyone should watch. Donât think skipping it
Thread I read đ
My thought : Writing is thinking on paper. And in this competitive world we live in, this is, undoubtedly, one of the most underrated skills that most people don't even think about learning it. This thread can inspire you, and teach you to write better.
What I loved listening đđ¶
Audiobook âThe subtle art of not giving a Fuckâ on (Spotify).
Podcasts - The tim ferris show, The rich roll podcast
Songs - Let me fly, Tujhse naaraz nahi zindagi
Bgm - Forrest gump
4 quotes I loved đ
âPeople fall so in love with their pain, they canât leave it behind. The same as the stories they tell. We trap ourselves.â
â Chuck PalahniukâI will have to remember âI am here today to cross the swamp, not to fight all the alligators.ââ
â The Art of Possibility
âThe truth knocks on the door and you say, âGo away, Iâm looking for the truth,â and so it goes away. Puzzling.â
â Robert M. Pirsig
âAnytime youâre practicing renunciation, youâre deluded. How about that! Youâre deluded. What are you renouncing? Anytime you renounce something, you are tied forever to the thing you renounce. Thereâs a guru in India who says, âEvery time a prostitute comes to me, sheâs talking about nothing but God. She says Iâm sick of this life that Iâm living. I want God. But every time a priest comes to me, heâs talking about nothing but sex.â Very well, when you renounce something, youâre stuck to it forever. When you fight something, youâre tied to it forever. As long as youâre fighting it, you are giving it power. You give it as much power as you are using to fight it.â
â Anthony de Mello, Awareness
Questions iâm asking đ€ -
What do you despise?
Which question I fear asking?
What is the dark side of mine I never want the world to see?
Take a notebook, diary or journal and try to write the answers to these 3 questions. It will help you understand yourself better.
Thatâs a wrap on this issue. Weâll meet again next Sunday, till then keep learning and keep exploring đ
Thank you for reading!
All the best to you and yours,
Mohit Panchal
