Fears and desires: the most powerful forces in a person's life

Dealing with AI for fixing coding bugs highlights the issues with proprietary AI models. I recently had an experience where a model deleted other models from the code, even after I explicitly instructed it not to. These tools should not operate with such an agenda.

I found this fascinating to listen to. Now I have to listen to the whole thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg8t...

Trying to make all of life cater to your preferences is a recipe for misery. I am learning to be okay with life doing its own thing. The only aspects I will focus on controlling are my internal state and my responses to reality. I am dedicated to love, productivity, and joy.

I am amazed by how Michael Jackson's music still resonates today. I was driving home from school with the kids and played 'Smooth Criminal' and 'They Don't Care About Us.' They were really vibing with it.

I waved to the sun this morning, haha. It felt silly but gave me so much joy.

I heard this quote shared from the Atma Gita, and it just touched me. "That man who has tasted the bliss of the Self, May move among objects of sense without fear; His mind never clings to the world's misery; His heart is with God and his soul is made free."❤️❤️❤️ I love it!!!

If you're okay inside, you can live life more fully. When you're not okay inside, you keep looking for things outside to make you feel okay. This shows up as consumerism, social media addiction, etc.

You can show the same thing to 1,000 people or give them the exact same experience, and they will have different feelings and opinions about it. The issue is not the object or the experience; the issue is the observer. I am the one who needs to change. Life is just lifing.

So, while battling a terrible case of man flu over the weekend. I watched a Netflix Series "Murder Mindfully" and I really enjoyed it. Here is the link: www.netflix.com/title/81554969

My brain has rewired to a point where TV or movies are boring. Nothing beats books and coding as far as stimulating entertainment. In code, the problems must be interesting and novel; in books, they must be dense, not fiction. If it's a story, it must be a good real-life story.

The high notes from our hearts are easier to ride. To be complete, we have to be able to also listen to the low notes. It's the low notes that we run from. We run to our chosen passifier/s.

Online, it looks like the world is falling apart, and people hate each other. Out in the physical world, it feels different. I have more moments of connection and beauty.

The most challenging spiritual practice is not fasting, praying, or meditating; it's keeping your heart open. My heart often wants to close. It's sensitive and fragile, but living with a closed heart is not the way forward. So, I continue to practice keeping my heart open.

No one owes you anything. Lasting happiness is happiness that comes from within. Let people be whatever is aligned with their nature. They will get the good and the bad that comes with it, but it has nothing to do with you. Free others, and it'll free you. Do your inner work.

Working with heart is brave; working with only the mind is safe but lacks courage. Put your heart on the line for things that matter to you

Today was my first jiu jitsu experience. That was hard, I sweated like crazy and now my entire body is sore. But I had a lot of fun.

To understand your true motive, ask yourself, 'What do I really want?' before taking any action. Be honest with yourself. When I do this, I realise the source of my disappointment. It often comes from expecting more than is reasonable from the outcomes of my actions.

Nuance is too hard and requires too much time. In the world of shrinking attention spans, it has very little chance of going viral. Propaganda is not nuanced.

Some information sounds smart and correct, but it's wrong. Only someone really knowledgeable would catch it. This misinformation is packaged so well that it convinces many. With limited time, how can we protect ourselves from falling for this?

I really enjoyed this Darknet Diaries episode with Joe Grand, aka Kingpin. It is truly inspiring to see someone who does things for the love and fun of it. podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/d...

You don't feel so good inside -> mind suggests something to do or get to feel better -> you do or get it -> feel better for a while but soon you feel bad again -> mind comes up with new idea and this cycle goes on till death. I am realising that it doesn't have to be this way.

The mind creates suffering by making you insist that reality conforms to your preferences. It insists that it will grant you happiness if all your subjective desires are met. The problem is that reality doesn't care about subjective preferences 😅

A closed heart may make you feel safer, but it also imprisons you. True happiness and joy will be blocked by the prison walls in your heart. Opening is scarier, but man, so much light is waiting beyond the prison walls. Open your heart.🤍

I have recently been closely observing my behavior, and I realised that some of my habits are driven by my desire to avoid certain internal emotional states.

My love for control through overthinking and preparing for the worst was useful when I was young and living in the most troubled environment. That same form of self-preservation has become a barrier, holding me back from just enjoying life. It's one more thing to let go of. 🧘‍♂️

Things are more connected than we realize. We're all shaping our world. Social media amplifies our actions. Hate can flood the system, kindness can counterbalance it. Be conscious of how you show up. Put out what you want to see more of.
