Are you the black sheep of your family?
If so, that might be a blessing in disguise. It also allows you to experiment, to choose the road less traveled.

We love ourselves a good enemy.
“These namby-pamby liberals!” “These dumb rednecks!” “These freeloading immigrants!” “These corrupt politicians!”
Why are we so set on an “us vs. them” mentality?
When you expose yourself to the right kind of intellectual input, you will excel. But feed on the wrong stuff, and you will atrophy.
In short, you become what you feed your mind.
Most people live in a prison of their own making.
They have materially or emotionally chained themselves to others — their parents, their spouses, their friends — and are now dependent on their support.
If that is you, it’s time to take action. You must learn how to be independent.
When you enjoy the process, you focus on the doing over the outcome. The activity itself becomes the reward.
Ironically, those who adopt this mindset also get much better results.
Most of us live our lives on autopilot. We go to college, we get a job, we get married. And we never question any of it.
But a few free spirits manage to break away from this social script. They choose an unconventional lifestyle, like digital nomadism or polyamory.
How do they do it? And is it something you should try as well?
We all dream of freedom, but few of us can pinpoint what that actually entails.
Is it quitting your 9 to 5? Traveling the world? Having an open relationship? Pursuing your passion?

Does the slightest criticism leave you uprooted? Then you might have a problem with being too sensitive.
Hypersensitive people tend to take everything to heart, even trivialities that shouldn’t affect them. This can seriously reduce their quality of life.
Fortunately, you can learn how to be less sensitive.
Do you regularly catch yourself thinking, “Why do I suck at everything?”
There are two ways you can go about this.
You can either tell yourself that you are being too hard on yourself (like most people do). Or you can find the root cause.
Many men feel disoriented these days. Gender roles that for millennia defined how we act, have been retired overnight.
Yet, in the sexual marketplace, being overly feminine won’t get you far. Masculine-acting men are still in high demand, maybe more so than before.
So, what should you do?
