For some of us, the activity of the mind may feel like a constant rollercoaster that we cannot stop, no matter what we do. However, if we can hop off this endless ri...

When you hear the word “karma,” what do you think of? For many it evokes a sort of balance sheet. You might imagine past mistakes as debits against you.

What comes to your mind when you hear the phrase “living on the edge?” Maybe intentionally taking extreme decisions that can place your life at risk? Or perhaps pushing yourself out of your comfort zone by exploring new ideas and new knowledge? While life on the edge may seem like a natural way to expand our horizons, if not approached wisely, it could also pose safety concerns. For example, going out of our comfort zone can, in extreme cases, essentially rearrange our entire understanding of t...
