A traditionally white screen becomes a dark blue or black, and text becomes white. It feels like every app and operating system is racing to launch new dark mode features. For example, Microsoft Outlook, Reddit, YouTube, and Gmail have all added the feature recently. New operating systems like MacOS Mojave and Android Pie are also getting on board.

Humans are Habitual Creatures
Humans are habitual creatures. This can obviously work in both directions, good and bad. A lot of factors can go into the decisions we make. The choices and patterns of behavior we practice. I want to discuss a bit about some of the things we can do, from my own experience, to break bad habits and adopt healthier patterns of behavior. One of the most important aspects of change is self-honesty. Obviously, it is important for a person to be honest with themselves. I mean, if I can’t be honest with me, how can I ever be truly honest with anyone else or situation?

According to him, in an interesting and fresh take, we don’t find happiness, and it’s not something we should look to achieve… We are happiness.

The power of positive thinking is not just a cliché
Sharing information is powerful. Free market of ideas. The power of the spirit. I like to define it personally like this- I can choose to be a part of it (open spirit, open mind), or I can choose to go about things solely on my own (closed spirit, closed mind).

I always thought I needed to come up with all of the answers on my own.

How to get started
Think of the implications of this… The more I made it about me, the less of me I could actually see. This to me, is direct evidence of the interconnectedness of it all. A universal consciousness… The spirit among us. I’ve grown to a ‘place’ now where I realize, given this new understanding, that the more I do to help others, and be a part of this force, the more grounded I am.
