Hotei and the Meaning of Life by @dbooster

One day Hotei came into town. Hotei, known as Budai in China, was a fat Zen monk who always had a smile on his face. In the West he is often referred to as "The Laughing Buddha" or sometimes "The Fat Buddha", and is often confused for the historic Buddha, Shakyamuni. Hotei was well known at this time and in this place as a monk who had achieved enlightenment. Just as most laypeople today aren't quite sure what that term actually means, it was the same at that time

Mi Diario: 18 agosto 2024 // My Diary: August 18 2024 by @palomap3

Hola, querido hiver. Me descubro haciendo cosas innecesarias a diario, perdiendo un tiempo precioso que podría invertir en lo que me acerca a mi propósito y a la tranquilidad. Incluyendo el simple y preciso descanso. El verano y su descenso de actividad general están ayudándome a recuperar ese tiempo, probándome que mi valor como persona no es exclusivo de lo que hago, que mi esencia va más allá de mis labores y que, para variar, me equivocaba al confundirlos. Mis reflexiones estoicas, además, contribuyen a reafirmar mis conclusiones

Nothing Personal! by @chrysanthemum

When we take things personally, we basically consider external events or other people's behavior as if they were somehow directed specifically at us. It's like wearing some kind of a filter that dismantles reality, making everything about ourselves or directed to us. For example, if someone criticizes our work, we simply feel attacked and hurt, assuming it reflects our worth as a person; but it is not true all the time. Psychologically, taking things personally often comes from cognitive distortions known as personality disorder. It is truly harmful for personal enlightenment and growth

Welcome, you are my living longing! || Thoughtful Thursday Prompt # 8 [ENG-ESP] by @marilour

Welcome, you are my living longing! Life, for me, is the most exquisite and unfinished construct, which, in its insolent and spirited dynamism, challenges you, with its dissimilar and seditious contexts, sketched as situations and moments. In my gatherings with recursion, I have questioned its roots: destiny? , chance? , but in the revelry, I accept that skill and expertise, are not at the origin of one or the other, the art is in navigating its whimsical currents, full of nuances and reflexes

14 August |Happy Independenc Day|💚🇵🇰 by @iaiman

💚Happy Independence Day💚 Welcome to my blog 🥰 Hope you all are well👍 Everyone waits for this day but now due to bad days no one is so excited for this day. But this does not mean that we should forget the sacrifices of our loved ones. I am happy that every child is happy and celebrating this great occasion happily, but not our youth picture are captured by me Youth thinking The thinking of our youth is very wrong that Pakistan has not given anything and we left it and went to other countries.

How I took the situation to my side by @drhakam

Hey everyone. We all are somehow stuck in certain situation where so many things are stake and we cannot really make the most of the situation or cover the damage. This week's prompt has asked us to write about that sort of situation and how we turned the tables. I have found myself in certain situations quite frequently to be honest with you all. 7 years ago, when I was working on the shop of my own

Thoughtful Thursday Prompt #8//A Manageable Situation//[Eng/Esp] by @mercmarg

One of my favorite sayings is “It's not the situation. It's how you handle it”. Tell us a time when you used your thoughtfulness to turn a negative situation into a positive outcome. If you weren't able to fix things? why not?

Don't give 'em the satisfaction. by @balikis95

Life can be a lot of fun only if we find our true selves and people who are truly for us. No backbiting, no hating, no sort of negative energy. But, life is a rollercoaster ride as it gives to us both parties; positive and negative vibers. It was kinda sad yet funny(maybe as she put it out) as I read a tweet by a lady from X. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry for her. You know, when people are hurt, sometimes, they just try to act strong in the face of many(making a joke) while their heart is ripped apart by the claws of someone so close to them
