As someone who works in multiple verticals and various team structures and corporations, I see firsthand how misinformation is altering discussions. Even more so on social media and online interactions. It’s becoming harder to distinguish real people from algorithm-driven voices, and this fuels division. But beyond these digital conflicts, I hope we remember that each vote and viewpoint has merit. Regardless of who won or lost in the election, both sides are filled with people / Human beings / whose voices deserve respect.

The growing wealth gap, divisiveness, and dissatisfaction with the government reflect the frustration many feel. People need to be educated to see beyond the misleading actions the people in power leverage to maintain and gain more control. People want change not out of loyalty to a party but because they crave a leadership/government that serves them and their loved ones. Our shared struggles and dreams unite us far more than politics and opinions divide us.

Through my travels and interactions across diverse cultures, I’ve learned that, beneath the surface, we are all remarkably similar. We all laugh, hurt, and care. If we could see beyond our differences, we’d realize that most of us want the same things: happiness, stability, and connection.

So, let’s approach disagreements with empathy, whether online or in person. We gain nothing from tearing each other down. If you find yourself debating politics or life online, ask if it’s improving your life in the long term and not just a quick boost. I believe in graciously respecting both victories and defeats and recognizing humanity on the other side.

Take care of each other, spend time wisely, and remember that we’re all in this together.

When we are face to face with death at a young age, we tend to look at life differently. We develop a perspective that can see beyond the surface and propaganda.

Sometimes that can come off as detached and cynical. We have to work at nurturing the softer side and balance out using our heart and mind, while staying empathic and open minded.

Our world is full of division and derision. We have to do our part to reverse this.

We also need to try to work together to reverse decades, if not centuries, of greed and the need to control others by dividing and pitting one against each other for the sake of greed, power and a money-hungry group of people.

Instead, we should help each other to coexist peacefully, regardless of background and beliefs.

“The purpose of propaganda is to make one set of people forget that other sets of people are humans.” – Aldous Huxley

Throughout history, there have been many articles, books, documentaries and films warning us of the path we humans have been on…

Some songs that provide insights on this:
“Us and Them” by Pink Floyd
“Crime of the Century” by Supertramp
“Driven to Tears” by The Police
“Right in two” by Tool

Don’t blindly follow the path without looking beyond the surface with an open mind. Never place blame on others for the road you are on. It’s your own asphalt.

When faced with a tough decision, it is easy to confuse fear for intuition.

When trying to find answers to a problem they are already concerned about, many people confuse intuition with fear. But if you’re already worried about a situation, you’ll project your fear onto everything else around you.

Intuition is the ability to understand something without conscious reasoning.

· Reading between the lines and detecting what others are thinking or feeling before they express it.

· A flash of insight or a great idea that seems to come out of previous experience and knowledge.

· Getting a pit in your stomach when you need to make a decision.

Fear often seems like pushing energy, as if you want to avoid disappointment, scorn, or rejection. Your motive is to avoid being punished or an outcast. Fear in your body feels like fast, frenzied, disturbed energy.

Intuition, on the other hand, feels like pulling energy—as if you’re being drawn to your best interests, even if it means taking a risk. There’s optimism, and perhaps even underlying excitement.

Signs of a Reliable Intuition

1. It conveys facts neutrally and unemotionally.
2. It feels right in your gut.
3. It has a compassionate and affirming tone.
4. It gives crisp and clear impressions that are “seen” first, then felt.
5. It conveys a detached sensation, like you’re in a theater watching a movie.

Signs of an Irrational Fear

1. It is highly charged with emotions.
2. It has cruel, demeaning, or delusional content.
3. It lacks a sense of certainty or accuracy.
4. It reflects on prior psychological scars.
5. It has diminished centeredness and perspectives.

The more you identify these signs and focus on your decision making process the more fluid and easier it gets.

What are your challenges when you are making important decisions?

Why am I repurposing the same image from my last post?…

Mainly to make a point that everything is perspective. It’s all about how one looks at things, with an open mind and history/background.

You see, I am not sure why the person in this picture was doing that and I cannot ask them.

We should always keep an open mind and not quickly judge and react without trying to see things from various perspectives to try to come to an understanding. Even if things seem like they are going against our beliefs and knowledge.

Put yourself in place of the other person.

Think about different scenarios that happened to get to that point.

Prior experiences and what options did they have to choose from to get through things.

Others involved that interfered, guided/influenced.

They have enough autonomy to make those choices or were they restricted by others, financially, experience or self-sabotage.

They believe in Karma and how do they process to get through it depends on if that belief is superficial and learned behavior or willing to do the work to understand and get through it.

They have a history of relying on others to make or influence their decision.

They do not want to be accountable.

They lack the skill and experience to dissect and work through it and need help.

They fear failure or facing challenges or like to take shortcuts.

They were incorrectly sold a bunch of goods that really did not solve the core problem.

Maybe they are delaying it because they are dealing with another challenge.

They are so used to these challenges that this is their normal and do not know any better.

They struggle through it and blame others.

Throw money at it and take shortcuts without truly figuring it out and solving it long term.

They have seen and have been through something similar before and understand and know the process and take appropriate actions.

Here’s a post hoping to shed some light.
Pun intended…

If you cannot spend time finding lessons in failures, then all you have left is continued looping of failures.
Like the old Armenian proverb: “Even the donkey learns not to fall into the same pothole twice.”

Don’t wallow in the failure.
Keep pushing yourself forward.
No one else is going to do it for you.
Embrace it and keep going and dissecting it.
Try to develop a rhythm and keep chipping away at it.
However, do not rush out of the failure by focusing on a quick lesson or shortcut.
Sometimes we find ourselves in the same mistake because there was more than one* lesson to learn.

Here are some of my additional thoughts on this performance, and a few takeaways…

I watched this performance again. Sam’s generosity and being brave to create this moment with those heartfelt lyrics and soothing melody. He asked for the audience to be quiet so his dad could hear him and kudos to everyone in the audience to respect that and provide that to Sam. In addition, he also asked to bring the house lights down and asked the audience to hold up their torches/lights. Beautiful, connected moment.

The metaphor is so poignant and powerful.  A perfect example of how one light can provide a bright spot, but everyone together can light up a large venue. Even the world.  So please keep in mind the power you have as an individual. Thank you to Sam, the audience, the stage crew, and the production crew for banding together to create such an amazing experience.

A few takeaways for those of you who like bullet points:

1. Push yourself out of your comfort zone.
2. Ask for what you want and need.
3. Reveal parts of yourself that can help others.
4. Be in the moment.
5. Let others into your moment and shine together.
6. Let others have their moment and help them shine.
7. Being vulnerable is not a weakness. It helps others relate and connect.
8. Do not be afraid to be yourself. We are more alike than not.

These apply to both personal and professional teams or groups of people. Do not ever think you are alone or cannot make a difference.  WE need to band together and make this world a brighter place.

I recently watched Sam Tompkins’ latest live performance of his song Hero, which he recently uploaded. It is such a beautiful, raw and emotional performance. Link is in the comments. It made me think about how some people struggle to get through the holiday season.

For some people, mental health issues such as depression and suicide are a daily battle. Just because they have survived before does not imply, they do not require assistance and support. So please keep that in mind during this holiday season.

Those of you who are going through this and somehow happen to come across this post, you are not alone, despite how it may seem. Reach out and, more importantly, let others in. You are not weak, or you are bothering people. There’s a reason you are still here. You may potentially be someone else’s hero just by existing. You’ve got this.

Hi. Quickly before Hrair comes back!

I’m number 27… oh! no! 26! And I will be popping in and out anytime I can within Hrair’s posts so see you soon.  In the meantime, here’s a quick short story:

There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes “What the hell is water?”

The point of the fish story is merely that the most obvious, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about.
