YASSSS!!!! Loving this! I'm glad you found this amazing contest, which allowed me to find your posts. Following!

This is an insightful post which should be massively rewarded. Self motivation is important to achieving success. No one would help you actualise your dreams. There's a saying that you can take a horse to the river but you can not force it to drink. That drive and force to meet one's target should come from within. 

We should not pay attention to what others will say about us. Focus and achieve your aim and you will be surprised how it would be appreciated by others. 

Thanks for the inspiration piece.

You have wrapped the whole topic of victimism in that post, I can't agree more on what you said, especially about compassion as I believe if adopted by someone it would change his life and the lives of those who come into contact with him.
Thanks for sharing

wow what a topic. Your post is very good. Victimization is like a cultural phenomenon nowadays. It is everywhere, encouraged basically. I can admit I've fallen victim to this way of thinking quite a bit in my younger years - and even still once and a while. I like how you brought in the light at the end. There is hope. More people are waking up to this enabling force which creates only victims and abusers for the  sole purpose of spreading negativity and fear. Empathy for suffering of others is what will save us, I think. But victims can never be fully empathetic because they are so hurt by whatever has been done to them that they feel it is more pressing/important/deeper than anyone else's pain. You have to heal yourself in order to show someone else the way.

Your post earned a follow from me.
One thing I recently heard someone point out, is that another definition for the word suffering is consent. This doesn't mean that if someone commits a violation against you that you've consented to that action. But you do consent to the pain you put yourself through afterwards - which often is a unavoidably necessary process. You consent to the trauma because your unconscious knows that you need to process it. The key, I think, is knowing when to say "I no longer suffer/consent to this pain." Finding the needed closure for this is a very difficult thing for a lot of people, but doing so can help arm you against any further trespasses by others.

I actually like this post a lot. I see it on some friends, their misery is like a self for filling prophecy which makes them tangle and tangle in circles.

What I am wondering about even more.... This post is over a year old, I scrolled through your page. You have rep 38, but you post a  lot. How is this possible? With this consistency of posting you should be way higher already. I also see that not all of your posts are as good. Some are nice, nice blogs. Some are just an image sometimes without a source... Maybe leave those out and stick to good blogs like this??

I LOVE your guncontrol blog from 23 days ago with 0.00 payout :((((

Hello @insideoutlet thanks for that informative post :)
Every truth is absolute to a certain level or we may call it layer, beyond this layer it proves wrong. Every truth has many faces depending on from where you look.

I love the philosophy tag on here, too! I think one of the most important things I learned was how to understand that Socrates quote. I find comfort in admitting that at the end of the day, none of us really "know" anything or "know" any more than anyone else - the major questions in life are left unanswered for us all. Nice post!

I really like this post, since I'm trying to make Socratic debate cool again (you know, people arguing with the goal of honing the mind and finding the truth) <3

I like this post of an introduction to philosophy. I would write more of a comment  but when it comes to this subject I tend to get carried away with one thought leading to another, and no one needs to read an entire book in the comments section.

I'm pleased to know that you've got interest in Philosophy. Philosophy as a discipline question almost everything that exists including the existence of God, rationalism etc. 

One of my favorite philosophical quotes is"I think therefore I exist". 

Philosophy could be paradoxical some times. How would you say a wise man knows nothing lol. That's philosophy for you. 

Great post and best wishes!!!

I liked your post :) what a cool trip. I'd love to see the Great Wall one day but for now I'm settling for your awesome pictures !  That entire trip sounds fantastic, I'm definitely going to check out the rest of your bog!

Wow, what an experience, I would love to see the Great Wall of China one day, its on the dreams list!

You've got lovely shots in your trip. What caught my attention is that long wall. Really? Some set of people constructed that? That's wonderful!!! 

Well-done!!!

I loved your post and all the pictures! The video was also very cool. I've never dived but I will some day! Looks like so much fun :)

i did my dive master at that same exact spot in colombia...very cool post.

Wow! A Lot of informations and personal experience there. I never tried diving (just snorkeling) but I really got interested reading your post to try at least once. I'm little bit scary to go so deep. but like you said is so beaitiful down there to lost the experience just because of fear.
Good luck with the competition!!!

I always love your posts bro!

MVP means most valuable player haha

I liked this post :) although I'm not a fan of the 'New Years Resolution", or new year, new me tradition - I think these assessments are super important for every person to do! -  I think maybe your list should be more of a *monthly* reminder list instead of yearly! Maybe even a weekly check in lol 
People get too focused on the calendar year, when in fact the Spring is really the start of a new year on earth and would probably be a better time to have a "resolution" that you could stick to because most people liven up in Spring and fade back a bit in the winter months.

I think you did a fantastic job on this post. I also like the questions you pose to others like,"have you added any values to your friends lives?" or "Should you change how you relate to people." These are some very interesting questions and they aren't the only ones you pose either. They just happen to be some of my personal favorites. 

When you talk about ones career is another good thing. This is a very important thing to a lot of us and knowing if we are in the right thing or  how we can improve on things is crucial.

I largely appreciate y'all for taking time to check out my post. :) Thanks

There are basic life questions we need to provide answers to either on daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis in order to know where we stand. In short, we should endeavor to make a review of all our activities. 

I'm not surprised that you placed relationship as your first point. It's our relationship with people around us that shapes our career, finance, travels and so on. If we don't have rest of mind as a result of our relation with people around us, we may lack focus in our and it will affect our source of income and you may not even think about traveling. 

Great post!!!
