Should we separate the art from the artist?
Should we separate the art from the artist? Separate the player from the game? The inventor from his creations? Steve Jobs was an asshole. Michael Jordan trash talked everyone. So did Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, Shaq. Chris Brown hit Rihanna. It’s actually quite a relevant topic. Particularly in today’s… Continue reading

Life in a nutshell
Life in a nutshell to me is a series of events and encounters The encounter practice theory is that every encounter (small moments) and event (bigger moments) in our life is what shapes us. Encounters with people. But some people can cause events. Some books are encounters, some books are events. It’s the age-old saying… Continue reading

Live to trade another day
Often when I’m day trading stocks and I profit for the day, I want to keep going. I want to use the positive momentum. But what I’ve learned is that often in those instances I start trading with emotion and I end up losing partially the gains I made earlier in the day. Even with… Continue reading

Book for 2019: The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness
I was inspired by my high school teacher to share the books I’ve been reading and plan to read for 2019 here on my blog. Last year I finished 50 books, and although I did discuss a few of them, I think it would be good for me to reflect on each book I finish.… Continue reading

Finding beauty in the mundane
In essence, if you breakdown what meditation is, it is simply doing nothing. Yet, I continue to meditate. I’ve been meditating at least 10 minutes for the past two months, some days going up to 30 minutes. And I’m just doing nothing. And what about the other mundane perfunctory tasks we must complete? Like doing… Continue reading

How vulnerable am I?
Daily Blog post 400 How vulnerable am I? I believe that premeditated vulnerability is paradoxically the most powerful state you can put yourself in. We all have insecurities. Baggage that holds us down. Some heavier than others. Some are different colors, different shapes. Some look big but inside there’s nothing but empty space. Some are… Continue reading

The best person
Daily Blog Post 398 Who is the best person you know? If you had asked me this question a few years ago, I would have instantly responded with “my sister” But now, I’d probably answer that question in a more self-aware narcissistic way: the best person I know is myself. Not because I don’t think… Continue reading

Irrational Fears
I love to talk about my irrational brain. My irrational brain likes to give me irrational fears. Like for some reason, I am absolutely petrified by pigeons. Ironic, because I love New York City, and plan to live there one day. My irrational brain likes to tell me how ugly I am, before I quickly… Continue reading

Mystique of NYC
Every time I go to New York there is a certain mystique to it. My first Broadway show made me believe that magic is truly real. When I walked through Central Park I saw all these beautiful nuances—how many tourists have walked this path, how many relationships are built on these strolls, how many dogs… Continue reading
