When you so dearly want to deliver, something, –something to be proud of, that makes you feel heard, this accountability can drain all energy of you. This is how I dealt with mine. And in reuploading it, I'm doing it again. 

This weeks episodes on WI102 and MST are reuploaded due to a book I'm writing and need to priorities right now. 

I've learned over the years, that if I don't listen I get physically ill. This is me, practicing what I preach on this podcasts. 

This is me listening to my own conversation. 

Thank you for listening too.

Ten years ago I saw a woman in her mid seventies who had started doing yoga and had become a much loved teacher of it too. It got me thinking about all the people, from their thirties and up, who talk and lead their lives as though they're just waiting to die. I made some changes myself whilst researching with the question in mind: what if I knew I'd be a 102 years old, would I still choose what I choose today?

Over the last few years, I have been googling one statement again and again.

The art of being part of a discussion is not a lost art, because to be fair, has it ever been close to the drawing board in the first place? 

Apparently, you only have two options. Either you are right or you are wrong. That is like saying there are only solid colours in the colour palettes being ignorant to the beautiful shades of grey, yellow, red and so much more. 

How we live our lives are based on the stories we tell ourselves and the world around us. The repeated truths that we have grown unconscious of. What is your story?

Is writing about the future, an attempt to predict the future, or is it a medium to play with an idea? Growing up with a love for films and series about the future I was often disappointed about how it almost to a fault, portrayed a dystopian society with different levels of advanced technology that is a story of its own.

I watched the first episode in the first season, after the last episode of the 2nd series, realising I had bailed on the episode only after a few minutes. That's how much of a chance I was willing to give the already popular show.

A mere 2 minutes and 50 seconds to judge the episode. Still, the television series kept waving it's index finger to invite me in. "You'll love me, I promise."
