Walk The Path: Recent Episodes
Shito
There comes a time when every person has to walk down their own individual path in life. The reasons may vary but we will all have to walk the path. The question is what is the your path?
In this episode we touched on the topic of stagnation, and how stagnation varies from one person to another.
We also touched on the possible causes of stagnation such as not feeling motivated, being lethargic, laziness and all the above.
We also touched on ways to triumph over being stagnant and changing things for the better.
On this particular episode we are joined by Azi The Last as we covered Destiny & Fated.
Although very similar, Destiny & Fated are different in their own ways.
Destiny invokes a sense of personal agency.
Fate implies that our lives are in the hands of external forces that are beyond the human spectrum and comprehension.

The Universal Law of Cause and Effect is one of the many known universal laws.
Understanding and grasping this law will shed light on why things are happening to you and probably also around you.
The world operates on many universal laws, and one of it is Cause and Effect.
Cause and Effect can be explained as for Every action there is a corresponding reaction.

And by understanding this principle you will come to an understanding that there is no coincidence.
Nothing happens by chance.

As much as Social Media has helped bridge the gap in connecting with one another over great distances and brought us closer, Social Media also brought certain areas of focus to our attention.
Like any progressive stride that humanity accomplishes, there is a regressive part to it.
In this episode we discuss about some of the dark sides to Social Media that have become even more prominent over the past years that are completely unavoidable now.
This episode is a follow-up to the previous episode about Memento Mori.
What makes life so valuable?
We can all list many reasons as to why life is so valuable. However, one thing that we can agree on is that life is precious.
The very breath that you breathe is what makes it priceless. Because there is no price to it.
Anyway, what do you think makes life so valuable?
Our apologies, we only noticed now that there was an audio issue. It is sorted now
Memento Mori
"Remember You Will Die"
It is self-explanatory.
However, through this acknowledgement about death and its certainty, we can begin to live, and not just thrive, as we have been doing unconsciously.
Let us begin to live.
Let us live life and not just thrive.
You are the sum of the actions you took.
And you are the sum of the actions you did not take.
Whatever actions you took or did not take, life will reflect the very actions you took or did not take.
That is why life is a mirror.
It shows you what you did and what it led to.
Or what you did not do and what it led to.
At the root of it all is that you took action, and that is what life requires us to do.
The common way that we portray fear is when we describe or associate an immediate or potential danger or threat.
But is that there all is to fear?
Fear can be either become your ally or your enemy.
That all depends on your situation, perspective and your choice of action.
This episode was our take on fear.
Define yourself or the world will define you.
What does "defining yourself" entail?
What intricacies are at works when you undergo such a process?
Can you firmly say that you are your authentic self or are you a shelf of what they tell you that you are?
Ultimately you make yourself or someone will make you into what they want you to be
They say that "you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with", the question is who do you surround with? Is the company that you keep progressive? Is the company that you keep regressive? Is the company that you keep outgoing and deterministic? Or is it reclusive and negative? You be the judge And watch the company that you keep
Brief points mentioned about Humility:
Humility is the mother of all virtues.
Humility does not equate to stupidity.
Humility can actually become a super power.
A humble person is not necessarily a weak person.
Humility is a fertilizer for growth.
Apologies for the change in audio. We opted for a different recording platform.
This particular episode, we briefly looked at intelligence and wisdom, and how you can use it along The Path
Can one live their life just by means of intelligence?
Can one solely rely on wisdom?
Is one lesser than the other?
Or are they both on par with one another?
What is your take?
Is it intelligence vs wisdom?
Or intelligence and wisdom?
Complacency or Change.
Two opposing choices that we are often faced with in life, that requires action.
So the question is to act or not to act?
When you act, do you act for the better or for worse?
When you act, are you forced to act or is it a conscious decision?
When you opt to not act, is it because you choose not to act or you cannot act?
To remain complacent, or to change, what do you choose?
Is complacency really as bad as we make it seem?
Is too much change even good at all?
The truth, is unsettling, right? Right.
Harsh truth, although unsettling have some merit in them right? Right
There comes a time when we have to accept that truth will leave us uncomfortable, and sometimes uneasy. Yet, it is for the best.
Tune into this episode for a bit of harsh truth that are actually sound and improve yourself.
Perspective.
Are you aware that your perspective plays a vital role in your perception.
Perspective is pivotal to how you view life, others and also yourself.
Let us dive right into Perspective and the betwixt.
In this age of tech, have you become happier or not?
Has humanity, as whole, become happier or not?
Are you content?
Are you aware of the ramifications that technology has had on society?

On this episode, we welcomed our guest Rinaldo for a chat.
There are many things that we wish would knew a little earlier in life.
Looking at your life now, what are some of the things you wish you knew when you were younger?
If you had known about such things earlier, would it make it any less invaluable than you know it know?

This is a continuation from the previous episode. Physical health consists of your overall physical state and your overall health state. You cannot have one without the other. The importance of health is sometimes overlooked hence the reason why the gentlemen gave their own personal take and experience on the matter.
Your physical health can be summarized as your state of being.
Coincidentally your state of being determines your state of mind or vice versa.
You cannot have one without the other.
In this episode, the gentlemen touched on the physical side of physical health and its importance when walking in your path or when walking in your journey.

In this episode, our first guest Sharan, who blessed us with his presence. The gentlemen spoke about Purpose and Values. What is Purpose and what is Values? Is your Purpose determined by your values? Does your Purpose change by the accumulation of different Values? Or can your Purpose be something entirely different from your Values? Finding ones purpose in life is something that every individual needs to give thought. So what is your Purpose?
As we progress forward in life, we accumulate excess baggage of things that were once useful to our old self.
While proceeding forward in life we forget about the accumulate baggage, that resulted in the baggage taking up space in our current lives.
In order to move forward, a purge, a cleanse needs to be done introspectively before continuing on the journey called life.

They also highlighted on the activities that can be done to improve your mentality.
