Modern Meditation

Philosophy and ideas related to the modern world. The idea came from reading “meditations” by Marcus Aurelius and adapting it to modern thought and people.

Anxiety is supposed to guide our thoughts and actions toward a relevant goal. However in modern society- we haven’t been taught how to navigate ideas. We’re told to just listen in class or listen to authority. So our anxiety is wandering just like the rest of our thoughts.

@waitbutwhy with an incredible visualization of a decision tree. You can always make better decisions in your future and it will always lead to better opportunities. For me personally, this was a life-changing idea and sticks with me to this day.

If you feel stuck or that you have been stagnant or ready to make a change in your life the first and most basic step is writing it down. Put the thought or the change you want to see into physical existence.

-now it’s time to put in the work. HOW do you act upon that thought?

Emotions you may have felt, but you were never able to explain.

Returned to Russia in ‘94 after the Soviet collapse. Died 2008. Left behind a legacy: speak out, even when it costs you everything. Solzhenitsyn’s words still burn—read him if you want to understand power and resistance.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: Soviet dissident, writer, survivor. Exposed the horrors of the Gulag in "The Gulag Archipelago." A man who stared down tyranny with a pen and lived to tell the tale. His life’s a testament to courage. 🧵🪡 1-

Exiled in ‘74 after "Gulag Archipelago" dropped. Lived in the US, but never went soft. Warned the West about moral decay and forgetting history. Nobel Prize winner who didn’t care for applause—just truth.

You are the main character in your own life. You create your own reality.
