The Day Nothing Changed And Why That Mattered. AI-Generated.
On the morning of his thirty-fifth birthday, Arman woke up expecting something to feel different. It didn’t. The ceiling looked the same. The fan made the same tired noise. His phone lay beside him, silent, as if it too had decided not to acknowledge the occasion. No sudden clarity arrived. No wave of motivation. Just another ordinary morning.

The Real Secret to a Happy and Successful Life
The moment that changed everything didn’t happen at a celebration or a finish line. It happened on an ordinary Tuesday evening, when I sat alone on my couch, surrounded by things I once believed would make me happy—and felt absolutely empty.

The Difference Between Busy and Productive
We live in a world that celebrates busyness. Full calendars are worn like badges of honor. Exhaustion is mistaken for ambition. Being overwhelmed is often treated as proof that you’re important, needed, and doing something “right.” When someone asks how you’re doing, the socially acceptable answer is almost always, “Busy.”

The Keeper of the Unlit Lamps
The city of Oakhaven was famous for one thing: its silence. Not a peaceful, rustic silence, but a heavy, expectant hush that draped over the cobblestone streets like a damp wool blanket. In Oakhaven, people lived by a singular, unwritten rule: Do not burn brighter than your neighbor. For centuries, the city had been filled with thousands of iron streetlamps, ornate and beautiful, but none of them had ever been lit. The citizens believed that light brought unwanted attention that to shine was to invite the wind to blow you out.

When Billions Became Trillions
Ten years ago, technology corporations spoke a common language: unicorns and billion-dollar valuations. Reaching a billion-dollar valuation was an impressive milestone. Entrepreneurs and VC alike talked about 10X growth and when you joined the Unicorn club, you were the big deal. This is all gone. Nobody talks about Unicorns anymore.

Are you enough?
The front of my favorite hoodie proclaims in simple letters, "You are enough." Several weeks ago, I began listening to a book during my daily commute. The premise of the book rejects the message on the front of my hoodie. It claims that it is harmful to tell someone, "You are enough," as if saying that puts a burden too much to bear upon him or her. The author says, "'You are enough' means that 'you must be able to bear up in every circumstance without the help of anyone else. How is that a kind idea to convey?'"
