We go through life like the world depend on us. And yes we may have responsibilities we can't shake off. But if and when we're gone, the world will keep turning, indifferent to our passage or departure.
Knowledge and education are nowadays widely available, often for free. But even if from a financial standpoint knowledge and education are accessible, it demands something maybe more challenging: Time and effort.
Setting boundaries is an important trait that will avoid many troubles and solve many troubles, both at personal and at professional level. And by no means should it be taken as rude or feel apologetic about it. It's a fine trait of personality and of character.
What will define us throughout life is not our possessions or achievements but a habitat that we'll create of internal habits and external conditions where we will gravitate most of the time.

Things they don't teach at school.pptxAmaro Araujo
Schools teach you how to make a living, but not how to live a life. So, we learn it the hard way and life for many of us is a journey of struggle and suffering.
Having the basics right, will help you out to cope with what life may throw at you. And it's not against you, but often for you.
We rush throughout our lives, existing or making a living but few of us are actually living.
We need to slow down and check where we are, who we are, who we want to become. Bills and responsibilities can´t be the sole or main driver of our lives that in most cases are not aligned with our values and with our conception of life. Do we spend sufficient time with those we love? do we pay attention to the world around us? do we help and support those in need?
We pass most of the day thinking and wondering about the past or the future, and very little time attentive and fully living what we are doing on the moment, on the present. It's extraordinary how in general we're looking back or forth but, when the only real moment is the one we're living in the present.
Urgent patience is a key trait of any good leader, although not widely spread or even applied. Under stress and pressure from markets, board of directors, business results or others, leaders tend to shout and scream for quick actions and results. But fail to run a quick critical thinking analysis and tend to misunderstand movement with action.
Our mind is one of our greatest assets but can also be the source of our suffering. Being attentive to our thoughts and thought habits is crucial to "educate" it and to set an habit of looking at the glass half full, not half empty

Negative feelings shouldn't be ignored or hidden just because we shouldn't feel that way - at least that's what the "positive mindset" torrent throws at us. Though, negative feelings are a very important yellow light to let us know there is unfinished business between our mind and our hearts
We tend to be on a never ending goose chase, always in the lookout for the next big thing that will bring is peace, joy and happiness. And in that process we tend to forget all that we have accomplished and all that we have become. More appreciation for what is and who we are, will make the journey to the next big thing much easier and pleasurable
we're often too attached to the past. Belongings, possession, memories, achievements, titles. And yes they are part of our construction, and we can revisit them once in a while, but we rather not live in permanent on a museum. Let go of the old in order to embrace the new
Whatever we aim or do, should be to impress ourselves, to elevate ourselves, to keep moving forward despite the set backs. To prove us wrong. Not show anyone.
Your delusional image of yourself.pptxAmaro Araujo
We tend to think and believe that our image is sacred, that everyone sees us exactly the same way, the way we see ourselves. This is far from true. Every single person, as a different perception of us, even our closest ones. Our partner sees us differently than our kids.
In the era of multitasking we often take it as a weakness if we turn down tasks or activities. we're afraid to come across a negative person or without skills and ambition to do more. But reality is, time is limited and we have a limited energy to spend and when we embrace more than we reasonably should, we may end up super tired, unease and even stressed out by lack of sufficient quality time.
Road rumble strips aren't there to annoy us, neither to stop us from proceeding to our journey. They are there no wake us up, to get us back on track, to align our course and to do it on a safely manner
The past doesn't have to be a powerful judge and punisher. It can and should be our ally to help us expand and evolve. But most of the times we're stuck, and we let ourselves drag on this feeling of being enchained with such past
Excluded any sort of interest, external opinions tend to be much more factual based and with clear analytics as it doesn't involve the opinion giver emotions and direct involvement, which tends to diminish the involved person views and analytical thinking

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

1. Reason of death? Birth. Sounds brutal, but it is that simple.
The certificate is half filled in, only missing a few minor details.
There’s no reason to be scared, afraid, or shocked.
We go through our lives living like the world depends on us, that we can’t
afford to “not show up”. Well, one day we won’t.
And yes there will be grieve and our beloved ones will miss us. But the
world will keep turning and life itself will keep rolling almost indifferent to
our departure.
As it has over the last 200.000 years.
As the saying goes “don’t take life too seriously, you’ll never get out of it
alive”.
