The Cost of Never Enough
What is the cost of our inability to feel satiated? Research shows materialistic individuals report lower life satisfaction, more depression, and greater anxiety despite their wealth. The pursuit of material possessions becomes a source of suffering in which we are always wanting more, while rarely savoring what we already have.
Our relationships deteriorate when acquisition becomes our focus. Partners, children, and friends fade into the background while we instead focus on our wealth-building or status-seeking projects.
Perhaps most profound is the spiritual emptiness that accompanies our fixation on material objects. This creates a painful gap between what we have and what we think we need to finally make us happy.

It’s my 10 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Donotdestroy.com was a website that used Tumblr as its platform, but its exact launch date is unclear. However, it was active around the early 2010s, particularly during Tumblr’s peak years under Yahoo (2013–2017).

I think I’ve been on Tumblr since before 2015. This is my second account—I deleted my first one.

How to Be Happy
Behavioral scientists have spent a lot of time studying what makes us happy (and what doesn’t). We know happiness can predict health and longevity, and happiness scales can be used to measure social progress and the success of public policies. But happiness isn’t something that just happens to you. Everyone has the power to make small changes in our behavior, our surroundings and our relationships that can help set us on course for a happier life.

3 Reasons Why You Are Seeing 12:12 – The Meaning of 1212
“As a messenger of the Divine, Angel Number 1212 signifies your need to advance on your path. On this way, seeing 1212 (12:12) means stepping out of your comfort zone and starting anew in your life. You begin pushing yourself toward something different because you feel you are not in the place where you want to be on your journey. You have that feeling because your soul always knows what is best for you, and it is nudging you to take action that is in alignment with your highest truths. For this reason, your angel message is about having the faith and courage to take a step into unfamiliar places. And as your path unfolds, you will discover that what is being revealed to you is far greater than anything you ever imagined. Trust that you are divinely safe.”

‘The art of Zen’ education resource: History of Zen Buddhism
“Zen is a school of Buddhism which emphasises the practice of meditation as the key ingredient to awakening ones inner nature, compassion and wisdom. The practice of meditation (Zen in Japanese) as a means of attaining enlightenment was introduced, as we have seen, by the Buddha himself. Zen approached Buddhism in the most direct, simple and practical way. It grasped that enlightenment was the most fundamental aspect of Buddhism and thus did away with sacred scriptures, rituals and objects of worship, all of which had become a major aspect of Mahayana Buddhism in India.”
