Does this ever happen to you? One day you are lying in bed with a sick body, or maybe the miseries of the world have completely surrounded you... and right in that exact moment, the memory of those old days comes rushing back? How wonderfully bright those times were. So much peace. And today? Today I am so helpless, stuck in so much pain. This is a thought we all share. But those of you who are reading my words right now, take a pause and think... are you sick at this moment? Is there an unbearable agony in your life right now? Most likely, no. Perhaps this exact moment is actually a beautifully good time for you. If that is the truth, then close your eyes for a second and truly feel this time. This healthy body, this calm mind, this rare moment without a single worry... what an incredible blessing this is. Express your gratitude for it from the very bottom of your heart. We only ever step into our dark times and regret losing the good days of our past. But when we are actually living inside the good times, how many of us even notice it? How many of us consciously feel that pure joy, that bright positivity? Let us start a new practice today. Whenever the thought crosses your mind that you are doing well... whisper an "Alhamdulillah" from deep within your heart. Even if the dark times ever do return, this memory, this active habit of gratitude will become your absolute greatest superpower. You will be able to stand tall and say, "When my days were filled with light, I did not just toss them away. I felt every single moment of it. I was profoundly grateful." This very second is your golden time. Come, let us feel it with all our heart and say... I am having a wonderful time right now, and for this, Alhamdulillah. Thank you, Allah.

We constantly fool ourselves into believing that watching the news keeps us updated and makes us wise. The reality is completely different. It is an uninterrupted twenty-four hours of pure mental torture. These news channels and portals do not deliver information to us. They sell fear, anger, and absolute frustration. Let me tell you exactly why you need to stop consuming this garbage right now. "Breaking News!" "Fresh updates!" "The state of the nation is catastrophic!" How does your chest feel when you hear these screams? Your heart beats completely out of rhythm, does it not? You immediately assume the entire world is collapsing. That is exactly what they want. Fear and anxiety make up the very capital of their dark business. The more terror they can inject into your veins, the tighter you will cling to their glowing screens. Do you remember the television during the Corona days? We sat glued to those broadcasts from morning till night, entirely feeding their profitable machine. This is not journalism. It is a highly calculated system designed to keep us mentally paralyzed. Day after day, the daily menu serves murder, assault, deep corruption, endless wars, and absolute disasters. Does nothing beautiful ever happen on this planet? Absolutely, it does. But positive events lack that toxic spice. Positivity does not sell. If a single day passes without a tragedy, the chief editor loses sleep, staring at the ceiling as if the universe has stopped spinning. They grow desperate, scraping the darkest corners of the earth for any horrific event they can find. If you keep swallowing this poison endlessly, the very eyes you use to view the universe will rot away. You will begin to perceive this glorious earth as a burning hell and every walking human as a literal demon. How can you possibly build anything magnificent in your own life while carrying such a poisoned mindset? What exactly do you gain by staring at the news for two hours every day? The vast majority of these reports have zero direct impact on your breathing reality. What a random minister shouted, what happened in some distant country, the fact that the Bangladesh cricket team lost again... what will you actually achieve with this data? You could have slept deeply. You could have read an enchanting book. You could have laughed out loud with your friends. You could have sat perfectly still without a single thought. Any of those choices would have brought you far more profit. Your brain would have received some actual peace. A profoundly healthy mind creates a profoundly healthy life. Do you honestly believe you are witnessing the absolute truth? You are completely mistaken. Every single media house operates with a specific agenda. They feed you a highly calculated fragment of the narrative, whichever piece serves their ultimate benefit. They desperately want you to pick a side and actively hate the opposition. The news is engineered to divide you and ignite your anger. This is not the pursuit of knowledge. This is absolute, unfiltered brainwashing. Turning off the news does not turn you into a fool. It means you are finally taking the remote control of your mental peace into your own hands. The crucial information of the world will find its way to you regardless. Friends, family, and the people around you will carry the important messages directly to you. Step out of this twenty-four-hour toxic circus. Open your eyes. You will instantly see how beautifully calm the world truly is. Your mind will become remarkably clear, giving you the absolute freedom to focus entirely on your own extraordinary life.

When we were little, we used to devour stories. Books filled with wild tales, thick novels that smelled of old paper. Now? The vast majority of people keep their eyes permanently glued to the glowing screens of their mobile phones. Do you know what actually happens when we do that? The infinite universe of our imagination simply begins to shrink. Imagine for a second that you are reading a book, and the text says, "Shaon is walking toward a decaying old house in the pitch black of the deep night." Instantly, you will construct a vivid painting inside your own mind. What that eerie house looks like, how heavy the midnight darkness feels, the exact expression on Shaon's face... you will design every single detail all by yourself. In that brilliant fraction of a second, your brain acts as a master painter, a visionary film director, and a brilliant set designer, all at the exact same time. The human brain actually forms completely new neural pathways just by visualizing a written story like this. But when you stare at a video, your mind is stripped of all this glorious work. Every single image is handed to you completely readymade. The effort required by your brain drops to zero. It finds a cozy spot and gets extremely comfortable. And let me tell you a secret. The moment your brain gets comfortable, it becomes dangerously lazy. So, if you want a ridiculously simple trick to boost your intelligence, you need to bring back that golden habit of the past. Start reading books again. I am talking about the specific kinds of books that force you to think, the ones that drown you completely in the magical oceans of your own imagination. It could be a fascinating storybook, a collection of poetry, or even a mind bending non fiction book. Throw a real challenge at your brain. Command it to paint entirely new pictures and force it to breathe life into unknown characters. You will clearly see its deep, sleeping creativity waking up and rushing back to the surface. Because at the end of the day, pure creativity and raw intelligence are completely incomplete without each other.

You are driving down a massive highway. The speedometer is easily crossing 100. A giant truck is rushing in from the opposite direction. You can clearly read the warning labels painted on its heavy metal body, "Highly Dangerous", "Flammable". Right at that exact split second, a bizarre thought pops into your head. "If I turn the steering wheel slightly to the right, it all ends right here." Or picture this. You have a razor sharp knife in your hand, quietly cutting some fresh fruit. For one fleeting second, you catch yourself wondering what it would actually feel like to slice straight through your own finger. Or you are walking right next to a towering building under construction. You look up and think, "What if a solid brick drops directly on my head at this very moment?" Do not panic. You are not a psychopath. The French actually have a fascinating name for this deeply human experience, they call it the call of the void. The truth is entirely different. Your own brain is desperately trying to protect you, and in doing so, it accidentally sends you a completely false signal. The moment you stand dangerously close to the edge of destruction, a tiny almond shaped structure deep inside your brain called the amygdala, your ultimate fear center, screams out loud. It commands you to step back immediately. However, your conscious mind takes a tiny fraction of a second to process that sudden warning. Inside that invisible gap of time, a massive miscommunication happens. Your brain entirely misinterprets its own signal. It assumes that since you are actively thinking about this fatal danger, you must secretly want to make the disaster happen. Let me tell you a wonderful secret. People who possess a fiercely intense desire to live experience these wild feelings the absolute most. Your brain is constantly running a flawless virtual simulation of death every single moment of the day. It runs these heavy simulations so you can safely avoid them in your real life. That strange urge is not a dark whisper of destruction. It is your own biological system screaming at the top of its lungs, demanding to stay alive.

You are casually walking down the street. Suddenly, your eyes catch a tiny coffee stain right on the corner of your shirt. And just like that, your entire world flips completely upside down. You start feeling like every single person you cross paths with on the street is staring directly at that exact stain. You step onto a bus and instantly assume the whole crowd is whispering about your ruined shirt. It feels as if hundreds of blinding spotlights have suddenly focused straight onto your face. You are heavily sweating, your nerves are shaking, and you are desperately trying to hide yourself. Do you want to hear the actual reality? Nobody is looking at you. All eight billion people on this magnificent planet are so incredibly obsessed with themselves that they literally do not have a single second to look at your stained shirt or your messy hair. Every single one of us is the absolute hero of the movie of our own life. So, we subconsciously assume that the rest of the world is our captive audience. We firmly believe that everyone is zooming in on every little mistake we make, every single time we stumble. But the absolute truth is, you are not the main hero in anyone else's movie. You are simply a background extra, just a passing side character. Take a moment and try to remember. What color shoes was your colleague or your classmate wearing last week? You cannot remember, can you? In that exact same beautiful way, whatever silly mistake you made today, absolutely no one will remember it ten minutes from now. Society has deeply programmed us to remain totally perfect within the pack. Back in the ancient days, getting kicked out of the tribe meant absolute, certain death. This crippling anxiety is born directly from that deep primal fear. But in our modern age, this fear is nothing but a dark, invisible prison. Whenever that heavy feeling hits you and you think everyone is staring right at you, quickly remind yourself. That is not a real spotlight. It is just a clever illusion created by the wild projector machine inside your own brain. Once you grasp this truth, you will experience a bizarre, magical kind of freedom. No one in the world is judging you, because every single person is entirely too busy judging themselves. So go ahead and make glorious mistakes. Stumble hard, fall down, and then bravely stand right back up. The audience seats are completely empty. No one is watching.

You just walked from your bedroom to the kitchen to grab a simple glass of water. But the exact second your foot crosses the kitchen door, everything goes entirely blank. "Why on earth am I standing here?" You feel like the delicate wires inside your head are snapping one by one. You seriously begin to doubt your own memory. Do not panic. Your internal RAM is perfectly fine. This incredibly bizarre glitch actually has a fascinating name. It is called the Doorway Effect. The human brain operates exactly like a magnificent supercomputer. Its raw processing power is practically infinite, but its active working memory is surprisingly limited. To handle this, your brilliant brain silently divides your everyday life into tiny, manageable chapters or invisible folders. When you step out of one specific room like your bedroom and walk into another room like your kitchen, your brain immediately assumes that the previous scene is officially over. It instantly shuts down the bedroom folder and creates a brand new, entirely empty folder for the kitchen. It is exactly like finishing a level in a video game and waiting as the next level begins to load. During this exact loading screen, this invisible transition phase, your brain quickly archives all your recent data to free up space. That is precisely why the moment you enter the new room, you stare blankly and completely forget why you are holding a key ring, or why you just pulled open the heavy door of the fridge. The most hilarious part of this whole magic trick is what happens next. If you turn around and walk right back into the previous room, every single detail instantly rushes back into your head. That happens simply because your brain recognizes the old environment and quickly reopens that exact same folder. So, the next time your memory mysteriously vanishes just by crossing a doorway, please do not think you are turning into a fool. Your brain is actually functioning with terrifying efficiency. It is simply clearing out the unnecessary cache files to offer you a brilliantly fresh start. This is not some tragic memory loss. It is the ultimate biological data optimization.
