What is the life people should not live?

A question posed to an across the board audience…

And the answers – a myriad of emotions that make us human. I acknowledged, agreed and was astounded by some.

Many were as meaningful as they are insightful…

Read below .

Peace,

Whoever says, “It’s only a rabbit”, has obviously never loved a rabbit or been loved by one!

The sweet spot is your calling J

What is the life people should not live?

1.       The Unconscious Life.

a.      You might have chosen the wrong career. You might have been drained by negative people. You might be picking up bad habits. Don’t worry…

b.      No one lives a perfect life. See, it’s okay to make mistakes. But make sure you’re aware of them. You need to live consciously. Sweeping issues under the rug doesn’t solve them. Confronting them bravely does.

c.       Ask yourself: Am I conscious about my life? Or am I a walking dead?

2.      The Tomorrow Life.

a.      The word tomorrow seems to have magical power. It tends to give us a sense of new start, replenishment and hope.

b.      However, some of us may have forgotten that tomorrow never comes.So procrastination kicks in silently and take over our lives. Before we realize it, years or decades have passed. This is certainly not an exaggeration.

c.       Ask yourself: Do I often delay my day? Do I realize that delaying my day isdelaying my life?

3.      The Shallow Life.

a.      Sports cars and big houses can be great. Champagne and parties can be great. Attractive appearance and fame can be great.

b.      However, most people fall into misery exactly because they’re chasing after those things. Ironic, isn’t it?

c.       Ask yourself: Do I know what I really want? If yes, how can I make it happen, instead of living a shallow life?

4.      The Closed Life.

a.      We’re living in an interesting era. New industries are emerging, the way we interact with each other we changing and the way resource is shared across the world is frequently disrupted.

b.      Don’t limit yourself to your pre-existing ideas. Don’t stubbornly cling to your old beliefs. Why lock yourself in your self-made prison? Look around you. The world is different now. Open yourself up for the future. Embrace different opinions and possibilities. When you’re open to the world, the world will be wide open for you too.

c.       Ask yourself: Do I cling to your outdated worldview or constant reassess it?

5.      Someone’s Life.

a.      “Elon Musk is great. Mark Zuckerberg is cool. Barack Obama is phenomenal,” You may think, which is nothing wrong.

b.      Anyway, while you can idolize them and learn from them, make sure you don’t aim to be them. You are you.

c.       Ask yourself: Am I trying to be someone else? Do I know others are already taken?

Let’s live a worth-living life.

A life of Regret - Living a life where you operate in fear, and never stretch yourself to discover your true potential. The only thing worse than death is a regret-filled coffin.

A Life of Complacency - Being too comfortable with wherever you’re at in life. Being complacent like the previous point can lead to regret later down the road and prevent you from reaching your true potential.

A Life Living For Other People - Placing other peoples’ expectations for your life above your own. At the end of the day, it’s your life to live not anybody else’s.

A Life Without Responsibility - Not taking responsibility for your life and constantly blaming others for any negativity that comes your way. You have complete control over how you react to anything (good or bad) that happens to you.

A Life of No Direction - Living a life with nothing you are working towards. No dreams, no ambitions, and no passions.

A life of Loneliness - No one needs to live a life in complete isolation. We are social creatures who desire meaningful relationships to experience life with.

1.       Not learning - if you stop reading you die. There is nothing in a stagnant life. Repetition gets boring over time, when I write the same Quora answer over time, I get bored writing it which is why I learn everyday. To be a master you need to constantly improve. To succeed faster, you need to learn. To be happy, you need to learn from those who are happy. Learning is fun and makes the world richer and more meaningful.

2.      Not laughing - do you know that kids laugh hundreds of time daily and we adults laugh less than 10. It's so fucking stupid of us. Call me a lazy guy but I spend money and time watching comedy and meeting new people. And guess what? It's been long I felt sick since I start doing that.

3.      Not loving - loneliness is horrible. And I know heartbreak is hard and dry and horrible. But the risk that makes loving worth it.

4.      Not giving - research shows that Givers are more prone to succeed more than those that take and don't give. So if you don't give, you are actually sabotaging your success.

5.      Chasing after happiness - happiness is a feeling. A feeling is a bunch of sensation designed to last for a while. Trying to make it last is a disease. Get rid of it.

6.      People pleasing - when you die, the first thing you are gonna regret is that you ain't true to yourself. So just say fuck it and join me in saying ‘I CHOOSE ME!’. Then show your middle fingers to those that deserve it, and then live your life.

7.       Hating - okay there are lots of horrible people out there who deserved to be hated. But no one is worth it. If you hate, you only keep bad emotions in your body that sabotages your emotions and health. Better to pay someone to do revenge for you and keep loving.

1.       A Life Pursuing Sex as an End - There is a whole lot of talk in western media that sex is the end all be all, and if you aren’t having tons of it with tons of different people than you are somehow lesser, but that’s not true. You will never have sex with enough people to feel valuable or loved.

2.      A Life Without Flirtation - Too often we use the word flirtation only to talk about being playful with those who we are sexually interested in. This leads to us living in a society of serious people, who don’t know how to play with or charm each other. I believe that it is important to flirt with everyone around you, cashiers, teachers, parents, and friends. A flirtation doesn’t need to be sexual, just charming, and it’s important to charm those around you, because at the root of charm is making other people’s day just a little bit better.

3.      A Life Pursuing Other People’s Dreams - I talked about this in my TEDx Talk, but you need to be able to distinguish between what you want and what the people around you want for you/themselves. Know that success and failure aren’t permanent constructs. Don’t let other people dissuade you out of pursuing what you want

4.      A Life Pursuing “Other’s Esteem” instead of “Self-Esteem” - Too often we phrase this like this in our minds “Once, I’m (Muscular, Rich, Famous, Etc.) I can get what I want” but that model of thinking is rooted in the concept of “Other’s Esteem” which is where we have as much esteem as other people tell us we can have. Now this model of thinking works well for society, because it causes people to chase material success which leads to innovation. But it hinders us on a personal level because we look to others to give us permission to be confident. It trains us to look to others to get permission to have self worth. Rather, do what you want that is rational and reasonable, and stop thinking about whether you are (Blank) enough to go for what you want.

Coconut Milk Powder For Health - 6 Amazing Uses

Due to its rich array of vitamins and minerals, benefits of coconut milk for health are many and they are given below.

1. Strong Bones:

Although coconut milk does not contain as much calcium as regular milk (38 mg per cup), it is a rich source of phosphorus. It provides around (how much) milligrams of phosphorus per cup which contributes to strong bones.

2. Treatment of Arthritis:

Selenium found in coconut milk is an antioxidant, which relieves arthritis symptoms by controlling free radicals and decreasing the risk of joint inflammation.

3. Lowers Cholesterol:

Though coconut milk contains saturated fat, it can actually reduce cholesterol levels in comparison to butter and dairy based creams. This is because of its lauric acid boosts HDL (good) cholesterol. When choosing among saturated fats, coconut milk is preferable as it is easier for the body to break down and metabolize healthy fats such as omega 6 essential fatty acids.

4. Great Source of Magnesium:

Coconut milk is a rich source of magnesium, providing around 89 milligrams per cup. This mineral helps to calm the nerves and maintain normal blood pressure as well as prevent nerve cells from becoming overactive by virtue being stimulated by calcium. It results in the reduction of muscle contraction, thus making you feel more relaxed.

5. Aids in Weight Loss:

Coconut milk is often considered as a fattening agent due to its saturated fats. But it is also rich in fiber, which makes you feel full for a longer time and if taken in moderation, can help to control weight.

6. Stronger Immune System:

Coconut milk contains lauric acid, antimicrobial lipids and capric acid which possess antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. This lauric acid on entering the human body gets converted into a compound called monolaurin which is believed to fight the viruses and bacteria that cause herpes, influenza and even HIV.

VEGGAN diet better than any other!

Not vegan— vEGGan!

Do you wish you could reach for the carton of eggs while on your vegan diet? Congrats, you can now identify yourself as a veggan! The traditional vegan diet has been around and grown in popularity over the past few years with many bloggers, foodies, and celebrities jumping on the plant-based bandwagon. But there’s a new diet that’s hit the health food scene: Veggan

While veganism excludes consuming anything that contains animal product like dairy, eggs, and meat, a veggan is a vegan who incorporates eggs into their diets. And unlike vegetarians, veggans still steer clear from having cheese and any other dairy.

The #veggan search on Instagram has exploded with over 5,000 posts—and it may be causing some beef between the vegans and veggans. Figuratively, that is. Many vegans are in an uproar about the new trend because of their ethical reasons, insisting that veganism is a lifestyle and not just a diet. Veggans, on the other hand, are standing behind their choice to include eggs because they feel too restricted on a traditional vegan diet and argue that they’re not getting the right amount of complete protein. (The recommended protein intake for women per day is about .35 grams of protein for every 1 pound you weight and .56 grams per pound for men.)

Veganism is one the the best diets for weight loss if you stick to whole ingredients and stay away from the processed sugary foods like Oreos (which are technically vegan). Some vegans who are also highly-active report not always having enough energy and need a good boost of protein to get through their workouts. That’s where the eggs come in; a single egg has 6 grams of high-quality protein, iron, vitamin D, and B12, all of which are typically lacking in a vegan-based diet. So, if you’re on the vegan diet looking for that flat belly—but feel like you don’t have that energy you need—going “veggan” might be the answer.

Is Turmeric Worthy Of Being Our Current Obsession?

Recently, we’ve spotted turmeric teas and golden lattes at artisanal coffee shops from Brooklyn to Seattle. The best thing about this trend? 

Research shows that turmeric, the vibrant root that gives Indian curry and yellow mustard their colors, is one of the world’s most beneficial herbs. 

Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help alleviate pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and other chronic conditions. It even shows promise in combating cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

Though native to Southeast Asia, turmeric is also the most popular herbal supplement in the United States (turmeric can help treat these 9 ailments [4]). But you don’t need to shop the vitamin aisle to reap its benefits. One of the easier ways to use it is to start including it in your everyday diet. 

“In India, where turmeric is one of the primary flavors, there is a very low incidence of gastrointestinal disease and lower reports of cancer,” says Mark Blumenthal, executive director of the American Botanical Council. 

You can cook with fresh or ground turmeric, but some brands of turmeric powder have been dinged for high levels of lead and insect parts, so shop consciously. 

Get Your Fix: - Professionally made in USA with small farm grown, certified organic Turmeric from mountain villages, Extra Virgin Coconut Milk from remote islands in the Pacific and our very own farm cultivated Malabar Black Pepper!

In its fresh form, turmeric is an orange underground stem called a rhizome. 

Here are 5 Tasty Ways To Cook With Turmeric [6]. 

To make fresh turmeric tea: Grate ¼ teaspoon into 1 cup boiling water and simmer 10 minutes. While less potent than fresh, powdered turmeric still packs a punch.

 Nutritionist Sarajean Rudman recommends mixing 1 tablespoon turmeric powder with 4 tablespoons honey and 1 pinch black pepper, and taking 1 teaspoon of the mixture up to 5 times a day at the first sign of a cold. You can add it to soups and smoothies or even use it to make a decadent hot chocolate.
