How do you distinguish between ‘being’ more and ‘doing’ more?
When you're "being" in your true self in the now, you're just being. When you're "trying" to do more in the now, the lack of awareness could kick in where the ego of the false self starts to control the true self which we sometimes believe it's who we are but in reality we are not only what we do . By practicing "being" more in the present takes self awareness compared to "doing" more. Thus, the principle of Be - Do - Have. Nurture the being for you to do , to have what you so desire ! --- Send in a...

Why not celebrate introvert personalities?
Introverts. People who are often labelled as shy, a term coined following the work on personality types by German psychologist, Carl Jung, in 1921. But introversion is much misunderstood. Introverts recharge their batteries by being alone whereas extroverts are the opposite and crave crowds. Emerging research on the biochemistry of the brain indicates that the neurotransmitter dopamine – the chemical released that provides motivation to seek rewards, is much more active for extroverts than for introverts. According to Phd and introvert researcher, Lisa Kaenzig, introverts are much less valued today than they used to be. In the past, some of the wo...
