How a Simple Side Hustle Turned Alex Into a High Earner Before 35
At 27, Alex felt stuck. Not broke... just boxed in. Every weekday looked the same: wake up early, commute through traffic, sit under fluorescent lights, work hard, go home tired, repeat. The paycheck arrived on time, but it disappeared just as fast. Rent, bills, groceries, responsibilities. There was never enough left to feel free.

From Rock Bottom to a New Life
I never imagined I would become someone who counted coins before buying bread. There was a time when I had a stable job, friends, dreams, and a future I felt proud of. I worked in a small company, earned enough to pay rent, help my parents, and save a little each month. I believed life was finally moving forward.

The secret life of the librarian.
I love books, I’ve been a voracious reader all my life, and if I buy a book, I can’t get rid of it. I’ll read it 2 or 3 times, and shelve it in my library in case I want to read it again. My collection has got out of control, and the room I’ve designated as my library is full, crammed full, the overflow of books has crept into the other rooms of the house, and also the garage. On shelves, packed in boxes stacked 8 high. There’s no room for the car. Like I said, out of control. So instead of buying books and reading them at home, and then storing them, I decided to join the local library. It’s just a short walk into town , a very pleasant walk, next to a park, and a coffee shop, not too many kids go there, at least during the times I’m there, and the libarian is sweet and helpful. Oh, and did I mention kind of cute. I’m not attached, so although I’m not on the prowl I’m always looking at the female scenery. I mean, why not?

What If Reality Runs Deeper Than What We Can See
Most of us are trained, often without realizing it, to treat what is visible as what is most real. Actions, outcomes, results, behavior. These are the things that can be measured, discussed, praised, or corrected. They are concrete, undeniable, and easy to point to. When something goes wrong, attention naturally moves toward what can be seen. When something goes right, credit is assigned to what just happened. This way of seeing feels practical, even obvious. But what if it quietly reverses how reality actually works.

My Dad Taught Me What Richness Really Means
You all have heard this phrase "life is not bed of roses", several times. Yes this phrase. We all understand its deep meaning. Now, I want to make minor but deep changes in the phrase. Instead of using "is", I am using "was".

Focus on Solutions, Not Problems
Everyone has problems. Some are loud, some are silent, and some slowly eat you from the inside. But what separates people who move forward from those who stay stuck is not the size of their problems—it’s where they place their focus.

The weight of guilt
Once I attended a conference where a Thai monk was giving a speech about spirituality and letting your emotions out. At a certain moment a guy stood up and told the monk about something he did, which he felt guilty about. It was not something serious, but the guilt was enough to consume him. After some time, the monk just said, "If you did something wrong, why should you feel good about it?" The guy just stood there, and after that answer, something changed in him.

The Weight We Choose to Carry
The town of Harrow field was not marked on most maps. It was the kind of place people passed through without stopping, where streets remembered footsteps longer than faces, and where duty was not spoken loudly but lived quietly. In Harrow field, responsibility did not arrive with applause; it arrived with the morning bell, the creak of old doors, and the steady expectation that everyone would do what needed to be done.

The Goal Of Thy Enemy
I believe that every leader should study war theory... Not because I'm an advocate for war... I believe that war should be avoided and only used as a last resort in situations where the opposition refuses to see the world in alternative ways...
