#008 - Hedonic Adaptation: A Concept Thatâs Changing My Life
Since I was a kid and until very recently, I believed that once I got the next thing â a nicer car, a better watch, a new iPhone â Iâd finally feel satisfied. But Iâd get the new car, the new watch, the new iPhone, and the excitement would wear off in just a few days, finding myself wanting the next thing over and over again. Itâs been 15 years of running the rat race, wondering why that itch for âmoreâ never goes away? I now know why. I recently learned that humans tend to revert to a...

#007 - Have You Ever Heard Godâs Voice?
I always heard people say: âGod told me this, God told me thatâ. Honestly, I always struggled with it. I would wonder: Why canât I hear His voice? For years, I tried to listen to Godâs voice - when I prayed, when I meditated, when I read the Bible. Wouldnât it be great to hear a clear voice talking out loud? Probably that will never be the case, but regardless, I kept telling God I wanted to hear His voice. I wanted to know His will for my life. I wanted to be sure I was doing the right...

#006 - What is life without a challenge?
Hey Friend, I'm one of those people who, when I commit to something, I do everything within my control to deliver on that promise. My mom always told me: Let your âyesâ be âyes,â and your âno,â âno.â (Matthew 5:37). Unfortunaltely, even though only 20-30 people read my letters (it's not about the numbers, it's about the principle), I made a commitment to share my thoughts every two weeks, and I haven't done that for the last three months. I started this project not just as a personal...
#005 - Becoming a Better Husband
The Dream Marrying a good, loving man is every womanâs dream - or at least for most women. But that man means different things to different women: Someone loving and caring, not just with her but with everyone around them. Someone with solid character, principles, and values. Someone with firm beliefs and convictions. Someone who listens and pays attention. Someone who is not just smart but wise. Someone they can respect and admire. Someone who is a hard worker. Someone who is family-driven....

They came from recognized and well-educated families. But shortly after they started their duties in the kingâs palace, they had a hard decision to make. As servants of the king, they were offered food and wine from the kingâs kitchen. You can imagine a kingâs feast â just like in the movies. When do you get an opportunity to eat food...

[Read on better-humans.co] Our Human Nature⌠Imperfection My friend told me yesterday that she broke up with her boyfriend. Interestingly enough, she was very excited about how amazing this guy was just a couple of weeks ago. He was âthe perfect guyâ. It turns out he had promised her the moon, but instead, he cheated on her. It doesnât matter where you go, you hear these stories over and over again in different forms. Dads promising their kids they will go to their game, but never showing up....
#002 - How Do We Become Better at Forgiving?
What's Forgiveness? We all âknowâ what forgiveness is, but we actually donât. If you think forgiving is forgetting, youâre wrong. If you think forgiving is avoiding the topic, youâre wrong. If you think forgiving is minimizing the seriousness of the offense, youâre wrong. But thereâs one thing we all can most certainly agree on: we all struggle with it. We struggle to ask for forgiveness and we struggle to give forgiveness. Forgiving is hard because when we get hurt, we become resentful, and...
