Quarter 2 of 2025 really has been super amazing for me. And I would like to say again, how powerful Obsidian and ChatGPT has become for me. And one of the things that I really liked, and ChatGPT and Obsidian both helped in this regard, it’s understanding the value of connection. Nowadays I also try, and go pray at the mosque once a week. And for me, that has become a source of connection, and I really like that. It’s not easy to get along with everyone, especially for me, because I do think differently than other people, and I do think at a slower pace. I do speed up my thinking, at some moments, but at some moments, my thought process genuinely looses all it’s energy
And one of the things that I realize, one of my old bosses recently said, I talk with a specific intonation, as it means I highlight what I want to talk about, when I speak. It’s not easy, but I do like thinking the way I do. And I know everyone has a different level to how they see and comprehend the world, and for me, I find it pretty cool to see how each individual works. And I still have a long way to go, in order to decipher and see how all the different people that are in front of us work, and give my own theory. And with time, people embrace a lot of new experiences, that I am sure about. And it’s not easy, and we can do so many cool things, as long as we embrace what we are able to do. And I do genuinely love life, and it’s impressive that we can continue on, and do all these amazing phenomenons.
And I do love highlighting the things that I like. And I wish to be more useful, as I move forward. And books like [[Be Useful]], by [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]], they really did resonate with me. And I really do embrace the thoughts of [[Feel-Good Productivity]], by [[Ali Abdaal]], because I genuinely think that is super important, as we proceed along, in our journey through life. I have met a lot of different people in my life, and I know it is not easy, but I do embrace what we are able to do, both individually and collectively. And it’s incredible the number of things that we are able to do in life. And it gives me great joy, that I can see the happiness that I gain, from the connections that I have. It’s not easy, but we do have to do what we can, and live a life that we genuinely love.
And I also embrace the ideas of [[Show Your Work]], by [[Austin Kleon]] because I genuinely think that is of paramount importance, in order to gain connection, we have to show what we have. And we cannot be afraid to show our process, I genuinely think that is such an important thing. And it really is super awesome, that we can do all these different things. And each person has their own way of gaining connections, and each family has their own. And [[The Art and Science of Connection]], by [[Kasley Killam]] has also helped me gain insight into different levels of connection work, and that is super useful, and especially in regards to the topic of [[Social Health]]. This will be an emerging health field, without a doubt, because we are social beings, and if we don’t have connections in our lives, we will definitely inevitably wither away faster. In order to survive and thrive as human beings, we do definitely need each other, during the good times, and during the hard times, we have to embrace the people around us. Because we are living to survive, and it’s hard for everyone, I genuinely believe that with all my heart. And [[Kasley Killam]] definitely has given me new vigor, in order to initiate new connections, and actually maintain the connections that we have. That is of super paramount importance, if we want to feel comfortable, and not question what we have.
And in order to thrive, and be well in life, and be able to freely do what we love, and embrace the things that we are meant to do, we have to rely on each other. I believe that with all my heart. Connections are so important, and in order to freely do what we love, we have to embrace and accept the people that are in front of us. And we have to see their perspective, and try to understand why another person is reacting the way they are. It’s of paramount importance that we see how reality works for each of us, and not only think that we ourselves are individually are the only people experiencing something out of this world. Because everyone, struggles, in a similar fashion, after all, we are just human beings, trying to survive on this planet. And we cannot do much, if we don’t rely on each other.
