Questions to Reflect Upon: How often do we find ourselves questioning our worth because of external pressures to change? What if our imperfections are simply opportunities for growth rather than indicators of inadequacy? How can we begin to see the greatness within ourselves, just as the butterfly holds its potential within the caterpillar? In what... Continue Reading →
1. How does the concept of daily renewal influence the way we approach personal growth and self-improvement? 2. What is the significance of balancing reflection on the past with planning for the future in creating a meaningful life? 3. How can viewing life as a cycle of endings and beginnings help us navigate challenges and... Continue Reading →
As another year draws to a close, I feel blessed to reflect on the journey behind me and set intentions for the one ahead. Today, sitting in church, I realized how often we’re eager to leave the past year behind, looking to January 1st as a magical reset. But this year, I want to shift... Continue Reading →
I’ve always felt an insistent urge within me, driving me to reach beyond what I’ve already accomplished. I'm unsure if this desire points to a specific destination or goal, other than the simple wish to achieve more. While I do desire success, I already perceive myself as successful; thus, my longing is not for success... Continue Reading →
It’s no secret that achieving anything of value requires immense effort and discipline. Whether you want to become educated, master a trade, or excel in a profession—be it law, medicine, mechanics, or aviation—it demands relentless practice, learning, and dedication. So why should we expect life to be any different? Why not recognize that becoming successful... Continue Reading →
I've often heard about the significance of friendship, both lifelong connections and the value of maintaining a strong social circle. Over the years, I've had the privilege of meeting many incredible people whom I consider friends. Even though we no longer see each other or communicate regularly, these individuals remain the kind of people I'd... Continue Reading →
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. This is how the Old Testament begins, and how the New Testament echoes its profound truth. There is a deep significance in this focus on language, communication, and understanding—an acknowledgment of its foundational role in our existence. Language, as I consider it here,...

The question of God—Who is God? Does God exist?—has been a persistent thread in everything I’ve written and contemplated. It is a question that tugs at my thoughts, lingering as one of the deepest mysteries of existence. I understand the agnostic perspective: the belief that the existence of a god or a higher power is... Continue Reading →
I like to believe that we were created as a miraculous means for God herself to experience life through us, as human beings. Ancient scriptures, including the Bible, suggest that we are not the first beings of our kind. Historical texts and spiritual writings imply that we are a product of evolution, designed to surpass... Continue Reading →
The Tree of Life: A Reflection on Progress and Purpose Life can be likened to a tree. The seed represents birth, the work is life itself, and the harvest is death. At the heart of this cycle is the word: Progress. Progress is not just movement—it is fulfillment. Progress equals happiness. Many people search for... Continue Reading →
The Awareness of ConditioningOne of the most profound lessons I learned during my early years at Seoul University was the realization that I am a conditioned being. My environment, experiences, and upbringing shaped much of who I am. However, what truly unlocked wisdom and personal power was the awareness that I could choose my conditioning.... Continue Reading →
Is purpose truly essential to life? While I’m uncertain if purpose is something innate to the human condition, I can’t deny that it makes the journey far more engaging and fulfilling. Without a clear “why,” one can easily feel like they’re wandering aimlessly through a maze with no end in sight. It’s like throwing darts... Continue Reading →
Unveiling the Patterns Life often appears to unfold through a series of random coincidences. Yet, as I’ve grown older, what once seemed like chance has revealed itself as a pattern—a tapestry of events interconnected in ways that only time and reflection can unveil. The Oxford Dictionary defines coincidence as "a remarkable concurrence of events or... Continue Reading →
I often wrestle with the tension between surrendering to the divine within us and taking control through the ego. There are times when I tell myself I am surrendering, yet deep down, I sense it is my ego pretending to let go while still holding the reins. Meditation, I believe, plays a vital role in... Continue Reading →
As I move through this extraordinary world, I have come to believe that most people genuinely desire to do good. I see a shared yearning to foster unity and grow together. Yet, paradoxically, I also see many unintentionally fostering division in the name of unity and community, undermining their very goals. Religions, philosophies, ideologies, and... Continue Reading →
Repetition is the mother of discipline. Through monotonous action we grow and learn. Yet, in life, logic often fails us. Early in our journeys—whether at The Soul University or elsewhere—we grapple with uncertainty, questioning the nature of our struggles. Life feels like an uphill battle, a truth encapsulated in the phrase, "The struggle is real."... Continue Reading →
Judge not, for judgment itself is a paradoxical construct. It is a recurring theme, a course humanity seems to study endlessly under various names—'judgment,' 'good versus evil,' 'right and wrong.' Yet, these concepts remain elusive, constantly shifting, as if they are but shadows cast by the limitations of our understanding. The first great challenge is... Continue Reading →
For much of my life, I clung to the idea of self-reliance. My ego whispered that I had pulled myself out of the gutter on my own, overcome addiction without a mentor, and forged a path that required no guide. And to some extent, there’s truth in that. Taking complete ownership of my actions, my... Continue Reading →
Growing up in Puerto Rico, I quickly learned that being an alpha male wasn’t just encouraged—it was expected. Until I was almost six years old, I experienced an extraordinary bond with my father, who embodied the traditional image of an alpha male. After his passing, my older brother, just 12 at the time, instinctively stepped... Continue Reading →
Focus, much like time, defies the concept of management. It is an ever-present force, flowing through our lives, whether we harness it or not. The issue isn’t the existence of focus—it’s the effectiveness of its application. Many claim we’re living in a world plagued by a focus epidemic, attributing distractions to conditions like ADHD or... Continue Reading →
When I was a child, I thought like a child. But as I grew into adulthood, I realized that clinging to a childish mindset was holding me back. Emotional regulation—something we often struggle with as children—is not just a nice-to-have as an adult; it’s a necessity for growth and maturity. Sure, we can point fingers... Continue Reading →
In our modern lives, we are consumed by the concept of time—a ticking clock that we imagine as a straight line stretching infinitely behind and ahead of us. Twenty years ago feels like another world, while twenty years from now is an unfathomable dream. Yet, despite all our obsession, we fail to grasp one fundamental... Continue Reading →
Next to love, belief stands as one of the most transformative forces in life. My wife once described belief as the highest form of trust, and the simplicity of her words resonates deeply. Trust and belief are more than ideas—they are acts, verbs, forces that propel us toward what was once deemed unattainable. Belief, to... Continue Reading →
I believe relationships are provided to us in order for us to grow. One of the great ways in which this takes place is in the way I get to treat them. It seems that I get the opportunity to treat them the way I wish I had been treated at some point. This doesn't... Continue Reading →
I can recall, as a child, yearning for the love, affection, mentoring, coaching, and playfulness of having a father. I can recall yearning to run to my father for advice, only a father could give, and to ask only him. I can recall yearning to be carried on my father's shoulders as he ran around... Continue Reading →
Listening to Steve Jobs' iconic Commencement Speech at Stanford University, it gained widespread attention, mainly for one message: "Do what you love." Before co-founding Apple with Wozniak, Jobs had a deep affinity for spirituality and experimenting with psychedelics, embracing Eastern mysticism and Buddhism. His commitment to spirituality even led to his replacement in his first... Continue Reading →
"If I Know Better, Why Am I Not Doing Better? Cracking the Autopilot Code" is a project born from deeply personal reasons, not the least of which is the title itself— one of my year-long mantras aiding me in self-discovery. It is also driven by reasons that have guided me over the past two-plus decades:... Continue Reading →
Collective Consciousness In my experience of this beautiful world, I've concluded that most people aspire to do good. I observe a shared desire for unity and collective growth. Unfortunately, on the flip side, I notice an increasing number of people fostering separation in the name of unity and community, which contradicts the intended goal. Many... Continue Reading →
As time goes by, I'd like to say that I'm rid of my ego. Then I realize that's my ego talking as if I've achieved some higher ranks in life. Truth is I am no one on my own.If we're truly honest with ourselves, if we can set aside our ego, our dark wolf, we... Continue Reading →
With the new year fast approaching I thought it was a great time to do a little reflecting. Take a couple deep breaths, open your mind and your heart, and let's play the what if game. What if when you die, you stand in front of your maker and he asks, “How was Heaven?” What... Continue Reading →
We as the highest evolved animals in existence have mastered the "chase" throughout history. We've hunted. We've pursued pray, enemies, and food. We've went after the next thing to help us and ours survive. And because we've evolved so much and we've been so successful at the above, we no longer have to chase those... Continue Reading →
