Something that most people don’t seem to realize is that you can learn life lessons in everything you do. Some of those life lessons came way after the events happened in my life. An example of that is the lessons that I learned after an internship in 2015. Back then I didn’t realize what that period had taught me because I was too busy being depressed. Being depressed is a full-time commitment you know. That 6-week internship would eventually push me deeper down the dark hole and 7 months later I had a second burnout in a single year. I guess we can consider the rest as history. Read More

Fighting is one of the most beautiful sports in the world, at least in my opinion. Not everybody agrees on this one but a lot of people also just don’t understand fighting. They see it as punchers sports. The reality is that fighting is a thinking man’s sport. Just think about it, you have 15- 25 minutes to figure another person out and they try to do the same. It’s like a high-speed game of chess but the consequences can just hurt a little more. It’s a lot of fun and it’s so peaceful inside of the ring. Here are some of the lessons that I learned through fighting.

There is a saying that goes like “you either win or learn”. I agree with that one. You will learn a lot from losing a fight, probably more than you can even imagine. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t suck though. On the 21st of February, I was sitting in the back of the stadium, devastated with a calf that was as big as my quad muscle. I was in a lot of pain as soon as my adrenaline levels dropped. Walking was not an option so eventually, they had to carry me outside the stadium and drive me to my place. The whole time I was wondering how I had been able to finish that fight. My leg blew up in the second round and I went the full 5 rounds. So there I was in my bed with a leg that I couldn’t move and a second loss on my record. Read More

What is loss aversion? “The loss aversion is a reflection of a general bias in human psychology (status quo bias) that make people resistant to change. So when we think about change we focus more on what we might lose rather than on what we might get” (source). This is the fastest way to unhappiness and mental health issues (heard from a friend). You’re focusing on avoiding negative emotions rather than seeking out the positive ones. a bit crazy right? Why would you focus on what you might lose instead of what you might gain? You should be aware of both but I would never focus on what I can lose. Then you just get paralysis by analysis.

People who’re passive and indecisive never take the decisions they should in life. They treat life as a spectators sport and that’s why they see their whole life fly by before they know it. Some people are lucky and their life turns around but the majority will be forever unhappy. It’s pretty sad but it’s also reality. I remember a time when I was like that. I was going with the flow and followed what people told me to do. So I picked a course in college because people told me that I’d be a great fit for me. Sadly enough these people didn’t know me well. I was passive and indecisive until I turned 23. Everything changed after that including how I felt. Read More

There has been a lot of panic since the Corona outbreak but recently it got even worse. I live on a tropical island as you may or may not know and life was normal here while the rest of the world was going insane. People weren’t worried at all about the virus here and Thailand seemed to do fine. They did fine until they suddenly took measures and started to close gyms all over Thailand. People started panicking and some of them left earlier than planned, others canceled their return to the island and went home. The few that stayed were doing fine until they announced a lockdown. Well, that was the rumor, nothing was set in stone yet. The real news was that they were going to announce something at 2 in the afternoon on a Thursday. People didn’t seem to get that and assumed the whole island was going to get shut down. So people left the very last minute. A day later a half curfew got announced. Nobody knows when it ends or starts but it should start between 6 and 8 at night and stop between 6 and 8 in the morning. Life just goes on as normal here.

Now some people may think this makes sense but it doesn’t. People have made some decisions that they regretted later on based on panic. They went home and quickly realized that it was better to do the opposite of what they did. Other people have died because they couldn’t get a hold of their emotions.
