What Is Broke Shaming ?

Image
In 2021 I went to dinner with a mixed couple. We chose a Caribbean restaurant in Brixton, South East London. During one of the conversations I had to describe where we lived. In Gravesend. We described Gravesend as “white trash”. I noticed the expression on their face, it looked like they just swallowed turtle poop or something similar. I have had numerous occasions where I have described something I’ve done or experienced and people have had the turtle poop reaction. But why? I grew up with white Italian middle class foster parents. I went skiing in the winter and beach in the summer. We had a German shepherd as guard dog in a colonial 3 floor house with a basketball court. I’m saying this to make the point, that I’ve seen what middle class looks and feels like. The other side of the coin was that we’d go camping, do charity at the local Catholic Church where my foster parents were personally involved, we recited 50 Ave Maria’s every May for a week, and I remember we housed a family o...

How To Explore Your Inner Self

Image
The actual psychological personality of a person is referred to as the self of a person. Each one of us has a hidden self within us, but we are not aware of it. A human being thinks that it is his consciousness that lead his actions. Actually, our inner self guides our behavior in our day-to-day life.

Is Life About The Pursuit Of Things Bigger Than Ourselves?

 I think life is all about doing things in pursuit of something bigger than yourself. Life wouldn't be as extraordinary as it is if you're always thinking about me, me, me. Having your vision set to something larger than yourself is the most fulfilling. It means you're helping others, uplifting those around you, and inspiring others to do the same. That's what matters most. At the end of your life, nobody will remember you for the things you did for yourself. They will remember all you did for others. It's the things that pushed the world forward so all of humanity can benefit. Ego and selfishness get in the way. Fame, money, and power, rather than love, connection, and purpose. Don't fall into the trap. When you're doing something bigger than yourself, your heart is deeply in it. You are so in love with what you're doing, because you know how important it is. It's something that positively impacts those around you and leaves your mark. Life is short...
