How to Shift Your Mindset and Stop Fear of the Evil Eye
Recently, there has been much banter and controversy on social networks over this concept called Evil Eye, as if this thing exists and that some people's bad vibes or bad wishes have so much to do with our lives. Without much empirical research or scientific evidence being put forward on its basis, opinions widely vary on this aspect of life. I believe that the concept of the evil eye is based on cultural and superstitious thinking, that is, those who feel envious of your success or inner light may wish you harm or cast curses, which can eventually bring about misfortune or a decline in the blessings already in your life.

Ego and overconfidence in one’s beliefs often blind us to our shortcomings. However, the moment we begin to acknowledge our mistakes and make earnest efforts to rectify them, a genuine transformation takes place in life.

Survive. Content Warning.
The pressure in my chest was unbearable, my limbs paralyzed as I sank deeper. My lungs burned, on the verge of bursting, deprived of oxygen. Just as I thought I’d disappear into this hopeless abyss, my body did the impossible—it adapted. I learned to breathe in the water surrounding me, as if life itself was mocking my pain. Some people believe that attacking others is the hardest thing to do to survive. But there’s something far more difficult: sacrificing your pride.
