“Dharma actually means the life you should be living—in other words, an ideal life awaits you if you are aligned with your Dharma. What is the ideal life? It consists of living as your true self.” ~Deepak Chopra
From the moment I finished high school until my late twenties, I had “purpose anxiety.”
I wasn’t just confused and missing a sense of direction in life; my lack of purpose also made me feel inadequate, uninteresting, and lesser than other people.
I secretly envied those who had cool hobbies, worked jobs they loved, and talked passionately about topics I often didn’t know much about.
I even resented them for living “the good life” and kept …

The present approaches to treating vascular stiffening with age are near entirely compensatory, small molecule drugs that attempt to override signaling and force certain outcomes in the behavior of tissues. This interesting commentary notes that because stiffening has two primary components, compensatory approaches of this nature can produce adverse effects in some circumstances. Stiffening is caused by (a) loss of elasticity in the extracellular matrix of blood vessel walls, and (b) failure of the smooth muscle that controls contraction and dilation to properly respond to environmental cues. Stiffening leads to the raised blood pressure of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyp…

The term “Digital literacy” has been defined by the American Library Association task force as “the ability to use information and communication technologies to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information, requiring both cognitive and technical skills.” Their definition of its importance began in the context of children and libraries. But its importance at every age, especially for older adults. Note that <a href="https://www.statista.com/s…

“When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we are not pretending, we are not hiding—we are simply present with whatever is going on inside us. Ironically, it is this very feeling of authenticity that draws people to us, not the brittle effort of perfectionism.” ~Maureen Cooper
Most people in my life would call me an extrovert, and I often refer to myself with that label as well. On the surface, I appear friendly, talkative, and enthusiastic, and those characteristics became part of my identity at an early age. I enjoy being around other people and value my interpersonal relationships.
