James Baldwin On Integrity
To effect change in our world, we must enlist the aid of artists. They serve as beacons, guiding us through the obscurity we often find ourselves ensnared within, preoccupied, distracted, and entangled in our inner conflicts. Our existence necessitates a greater luminosity, and to achieve this, we require artists who possess unwavering integrity, dauntless courage, […]
Albert Camus On The Absurd
During a conversation with a 17-year-old embarking on her college journey, she shared her aspirations of finding her life partner during this phase and achieving full career stability by the age of 25, along with all the other idealistic dreams typical of youth.

Our Creative Power
In the vast expanse of possibility, countless projects yearn to be brought into existence. Yet, often, we find ourselves ensnared by an invisible captor – fear.

To ensure your survival, surrendering remains our sole option. An enigmatic term: surrender to life. To entrust ourselves. To embrace truth—the ache within our legs, the gnawing hunger in our bellies, and the suffocating doubts clouding our minds. Perhaps few tasks are less daunting than squarely facing the life we inhabit, undertaking the actions required […]
Find Your Intention.
Man often struggles to solidify his intentions. He stumbles, wavers, and loses his balance when confronted with the simple question, “What is your intention?” Without a clear reason for our actions, once adversity takes hold, our pursuit of our divine calling often dwindles into nothing more than an elusive wish or a distant dream, seemingly […]
Remember Your Mission
Everyone who pursues something they assert to be greater than themselves inevitably encounters feelings of hatred, despair, and sadness stemming from their present circumstances. Whether trapped in a detested job or occupying a role that appears to fall short of our self-perceived identity, we’ve all grappled with the disorientation of our situation.
