VEM comigo!

“We live fighting with reality, at the same time that we forget to live life, and when we realize it is late, only the residue is left”, and the shadow of who we were. So, don’t waste your precious time, with the wind curve, or with the fact of being enchanted by the leaves fallen to the ground. Rather, make your days what poets do with your verses “make them fertile”. Then try to fill the emotional gaps with ambition! .. Madness is not believing that we can make each day a unique spectacle.

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Vivemos brigando com a realidade, ao mesmo tempo que nos esquecemos de viver a vida, e quando percebemos é tarde, só sobra o seu resíduo “, e a sombra de quem fomos. Por isso, não perca o seu precioso tempo, com a curva do vento, nem com o fato de se encantar com as folhas caídas ao chão. Antes, faça dos seus dias, aquilo que os poetas fazem com os seus versos ” fecunde-os”. Depois, trate de preencher as lacunas emocionais com ambição!..

Loucura é não acreditar que podemos fazer de cada dia, um espetáculo único.

Outrage as 172 Republicans vote to oppose Violence Against Women Act | The Independent

One day after seven women were killed in attacks across three massage parlours in Atlanta, Georgia, the US House of Representatives voted to reauthorise the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The act, according to the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV), “creates and supports comprehensive, cost-effective responses to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking.” The act was originally authored by the now-president Joe Biden, but had lapsed two years ago. Representatives voted 244 to 172 in favour of the bill, largely along party lines, though 29 Republicans joined the Democrats in supporting its passage.

Native American communities make vaccines available for all Oklahoma residents | Coronavirus | The Guardian

As Covid-19 infection rates tick up again in several states, indigenous communities in Oklahoma are reporting a different problem: not enough people to vaccinate.

Earlier this month, several Native American communities, including the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Osage and Choctaw, opened up free vaccinations to all Oklahoma residents, not just the hundreds of thousands of nation members spread across the midwestern state.

Increasing availability from the Indian Health Service of the three coronavirus vaccines currently approved in the US, Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, also allowed the nations to push immunizations into more areas, many of them rural and remote.

Now, however, several nations are reporting they have supplies far in excess of demand.

“We’re running out of people to vaccinate,” Brian Hail, head of the Cherokee Nation’s vaccination program, told the New York Times this week. “We’re struggling to get people to come in.”

Procrastination: Causes and Ways to Overcome

Shayan's Sphere

How often it happens that we indulge ourselves in a work and after spending few hours if we are unable to get the very result we desire, we postpone the same for some other day. Procrastination is no doubt an attitude problem. The twenty-four hours in a day are not less actually, but they become so only when we’ve so many excuses. There are several reasons why we procrastinate. A few of them are described in brief as follows—

(I) Fear of failure and criticism:

Fear of failure is one of the most notable reason that makes us to procrastinate. We blindly believe that we need to have all the preconditions ready to be more creative and to do something in the best possible way. A little bit of hindrance in the way stops us from going ahead. However, in reality there is little logic behind what we think in…

Alphabet soup for the soul – “K”

Words from Walden

K is for Karma

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.”

-Wayne Dyer-

Karma is a Sanskrit word that means action, work or deed. Most people have understood this idea from a very young age. It’s as simple as cause and effect. Good karma, bad karma, whatever you put out you will come back to you in return.

Do unto others as you would have others do unto you is the golden rule and it is also how to create good karma. You reap what you sow is another story. It is a very simple method to ensure you live a peaceful, happy, joyful and meaningful existence.

If the energy you put out into the world is positive then it will return to you manifested in some positive way (that you can not predict or intend, or at least I can not).

The endless scrolling…

The Zainab Experiment

Everyday when I am done with work, the first thing I do is grab my phone. With no set intentions about what to do, I start opening random apps just to see what is out there.

I go from checking my messages to social media to shopping apps and back. And day after day, whatever I find is pretty much the same. My social media feed is just a pile of regurgitated throwback pictures from when people still had their wisdom teeth intact. There is always some sale going on where you can find nothing useful besides that one pair of jeans that has been on 60% off since 2 years now. I pass such heavy judgements on everything. But at the end, I am no better either. I just keep coming back to what I, myself deem garbage.

Why? Why?! Why can’t I just stop scrolling? Why won’t I…
