What Motivation Do You Choose?

By Jarred Alexandrov on March 15th 2010 in Philosophy 12 comments

Everybody has something, or someone that motivates them. Ask your peers what motivates them.

As I see it, most people have a combination of two forms of motivation. One is what I will call survival motivation, and the other is emotional motivation.

Let Your Bliss Serve the World

By Nawala on March 8th 2010 in Philosophy 16 comments

I used to think that my passion was helping others until I realized, duh so is everyone else’s! It is our gifts, talents, skills and the things that excite us…the things that we obsess about and even the things that make us sound dorky when we discuss them, that make us better able to help others. Our passions are where we can begin to give to the world. So, if you truly want to help your family, help your world….then follow your bliss. It will give you all the tools or at the very least the beginning of the tools you need to serve others while bringing you joy.

Real Mind Control with Stoicism

By Ronnie on February 23rd 2010 in Philosophy 9 comments

Stop having that “teddy bear” personality. I see a tendency of people wanting to please everyone, wanting to be “cool” with every friend on their facebook. It’s all an illusion. It’s impossible and you will exhaust yourself and your energies trying to make everyone like you. Someone doesnt like your lifestyle, or this person criticizes your clothing style? Why care? Just move past it and continue living your life.

Take the First Step Towards Your Dream Life

By Kyle Crum on February 15th 2010 in Philosophy 20 comments

Quite often what happens is that people realize that any of the barriers that they have put up as reasons not to do long-term travel can be easily traversed. They figure out on their own that kids and dogs can be brought along. They think of a way to sell or rent their house while they are gone. They realize that money is only an object if they let it be.

Eliminating Weaknesses

By Robert on February 10th 2010 in Philosophy 11 comments

Resolutions are to New Years what gifts are to Christmas and many people are enthralled of the changes they hope to see. For many it seems like the perfect time to set really big goals for the lifestyle improvements, changes and progress they would like to experience in life. Sometimes we set goals that are [...]

You Are Not Supposed To Know

By Carlos Miceli on February 2nd 2010 in Philosophy 31 comments

Here’s my first conclusion after going through the many, many comments on Untemplater: Everyone wants to know. They want to know how to do everything so that they can make the transition without turbulence. Well, I got news: you are not supposed to know.

Sink Or Swim. You Decide.

By Amber on January 20th 2010 in Philosophy 25 comments

Floating. You, me and your little dog too. Whether you realize and accept it, we are all drifting in a slew of endless possibility. Or as I like to think, a grab bag of opportunity. Like standing in a money cage game, you can scratch and scramble for random twirling notes hoping you get lucky [...]

The Improbable Goal of Being The Best

By Carlos Miceli on January 4th 2010 in Philosophy 17 comments

Being the best sounds great. It certainly is a cool place to reach, and that’s why it’s the goal for so many people. But the goal has been bastardized, we have bought that idea that being the best is reachable for everyone. Am I the only one that sees a flaw to this logic? Isn’t [...]
