Fear Will Always Be There

Fear will always be there. Starting something new. Stepping out of your usual circle. Taking risks. Doing something you're not accustomed to. Fear for your loved ones. For the matter at hand. For your own life if it comes to that. And many more. Fear will continue to be there. No matter how much experience, practice, confidence, recognition, money, or talent you have, every time you aim for a new height, every time you step on stage, every time you look back at your loved ones - to some extent, there will be fear. This is normal. It means you are still alive. And it means you need to move forward. Through the fear. Not try to completely get rid of it.

How to Not Be Shy About Talking About Sex

Open and honest communication about sexual preferences and desires is key to healthy and fulfilling relationships. Embrace your sexuality. Explore your desires and preferences. Reading literature on sexual education can help you understand yourself better. Start the conversation in a calm setting. When both are in a good mood. For instance, over dinner or during a cozy evening at home. Be honest and open. Don't be afraid to share your thoughts. For example, 'I like it when you do that, and I would like to try something new.' Respect your partner's wishes and boundaries. If your partner is not ready to discuss certain topics, respect that. Continue the conversation when both are ready.

Where Should the Support Come From?

If you don't receive support in a relationship, then where? From whom should you expect understanding if the closest and dearest person can't give you what you so desperately need in the moment. Parents, friends, yes, but sometimes you need the support of the one with whom you plan your future, share your bed, and have no secrets. Support is needed by everyone, even the strongest, when they find themselves in a difficult situation.

Istanbul, Turkey

An unusual fact: Istanbul is the only city in the world located on two continents: Europe and Asia. The Bosphorus Strait separates them, connecting the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara.

The city has around 3,113 mosques, including the famous Blue Mosque with its six minarets.

Enjoy the Moment

Enjoy. At least now, while you still can, have fun properly. Everything! Extract joy from every moment, it won't come back, it won't repeat, this moment! Let at least the memory of a humble, small joy remain. It is better than nothing. Capture the joy now, immediately, without delay! Tomorrow might not come... (Sake Komatsu "The Dragon's Demise")

Self-care doesn't always look attractive

Self-care doesn't always look as attractive as it seems. Often, it means doing very unpleasant things – sweating during a workout, telling a toxic friend that you no longer want to talk to them, finding a second job to finally start saving money, or – the most challenging task of all! – accepting yourself as you truly are, instead of pushing yourself to the limit to match an ideal, and then taking a forced 'break' from that reality with a bubble bath, a glossy magazine, and a phone turned off all day.

Gather Your Attention in the Now

You will forgive yourself and others many times. You will process the pain from your past life again and again, and then start all over. Because you have scattered your attention on thoughts and emotions, on events from the past, on your self-pity and its importance. You consume the past, the future and lose the present. If you are not here and now, if you do not realize your presence, then where are you? In a daze. In hallucinations. Gather your attention in the now. Realize your presence and this will heal you once and for all.

Read at least 20 pages a day

The rules are simple — commit to reading at least 20 pages every day. After 30 days, you will have read 600 pages or two to three books. You already know that reading brings pleasure, develops empathy, expands vocabulary, reduces stress, and improves sleep.

Act Every Day to Develop Yourself

No matter how many commandments you read, no matter how often you say what they mean, what will they mean if you do not follow them? They say: "Words are worthless," and it is true. To develop, you must act; to develop quickly, you need to act every day. Glory will not fall into your lap! Glory is for everyone, but only those who act constantly will achieve it.

Her Choice Matters

It doesn't matter if she's your woman or your wife. If she's with you, it means she chose you. Women cannot be with a man just for carnal pleasures alone. She chooses a life partner first and foremost, even if your romance didn't involve grand plans. And if her choice is you, it means she sees at least a friend, brother, husband, support, and a shoulder in you. It means you possess that core strength that makes women forgive almost all men's mistakes. She clings to her choice like a last straw because all her dreams and desires are connected with you. And it's not the ring on her finger or the status that makes her yours, but her voluntary desire to see only you beside her among millions and to forgive all the foolishness you sometimes do.

Embrace Change

Embrace change. According to many people, stability is a guarantee of security. Because their entire life is governed by fear - fear of losing money, relationships, and much more. In life, there are two doors: Freedom and Security. Choosing freedom may not yield security. But choosing security, you will lose both. Sooner or later you will have to come to terms with this thought: the only constant in this world is change. Instead of being afraid, embrace it.

One of the Most Beneficial Habits
