This makes it very much ideal for low-power energy generation no matter the location, no matter the weather, no matter what time of the day.\n\nTo be able to fast-track its adoption worldwide and to where it may be needed most, the @minnowminer program is introduced to encourage all STEEMIANS to help and be part of the quick transformation of the JOULESTEEM circuit.\n\nThis is maybe the only straight-to-the-point no-questions-asked sharing scheme that will enable each one to earn and learn as a STEEMIAN.\n\nKeep on STEEMING guys!!!",

Chaos is the home of your finite self. The moment these two intersect…that is what Life is.” ~ Alexandra Domelle\n\nThe festive season brings a unique set of drama, chaos and noise unlike any other time of year. There are holidays to plan, presents to buy, and engagements to keep. There are budgets to balance, meals to organise, and people to please.\n\nThe pace of activities accelerates instead of winding down. There is frantic shopping, rushing, and stressing as you stretch yourself out even thinner than the year before, desperately trying to get everything…perfect.\n\nYou promise yourself that once all of this is over, you will reward yourself with that large glass of wine, or that slice of cake or, that things will be all right once you are officially on vacation.\n\nSound familiar?![IMG_20171224_092717_edit.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmY8sMV57tm89awSk9Nu5dwzgA3HQZu3zYtdJ53Bt3yjdp/IMG_20171224_092717_edit.png) This is a routine that many families go through every year, a routine that has travelled through generations, a routine that gets bigger and more elaborate with time, expectations, and desire.\n\nThe struggle to get everything done is the norm; the under-done turkey and burnt gravy add to the family collection of disaster stories while going overboard with the drinking and eating is almost a rite of passage.\n\nDoes it always have to be this way?\n\nFor you, the answer may be “yes.” After all, the adrenaline rush and the cocktail of hormones flooding the body simply add to the euphoria.\n\nIf you are looking for an alternative, you may choose to go minimalist, doing the bare essentials to get by.![IMG_20171224_093919_edit.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSpPLMteRJ3q2Vu1JS4HavS7KgZ6WhyQSb8WJD3pUdXvX/IMG_20171224_093919_edit.png) Or, you may begin by promising yourself to “keep it simple” and yet somewhere along the way, things spiral out of control, and you find yourself back in that place of trying to do everything at once. Your body reacts to situations, repeating the old patterns of behaviour that you promised to break.\n\nIs there anything you can do about this?\n\nYes, there is.\n\nIt is not so much about “doing” as it is about “being.”\n\nBeing fully present in the moment![IMG_20171224_092722_edit.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNRDG6Xp7AWtvBZbMg7GzrgKBsBUGv6wtFLkq82ae71jq/IMG_20171224_092722_edit.png) Complete presence requires awareness.\n\n    Awareness of your thoughts, your words, and your deeds. \n    Awareness of your mind, your heart, and your soul. \n    Awareness of your breaths, your heartbeat, and your every moment.\n\nAnd the ability to shift into this awareness, this presence is within you, right here, right now.\n\nSo how does it work?\n\nThe moment your mind begins to wander, to spread out into a thousand different directions, just pause.![IMG_20171224_092726_edit.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbcpLERtQMaxaM1x4eXG7oeKiiAwpXw3vkng48RNx6ppj/IMG_20171224_092726_edit.png)Breathe.\n\nRelax your shoulders.\n\nFeel the air filling your body.\n\nAnd let go.\nTrust.\n\nYou are safe.\n\nAll is well.\n\nThis moment is the only certainty.\nAllow.\n\nAllow yourself to receive the gift of self-care.\n\nThe gift of love.\n\nThe gift of peace.\n\nThis is the beginning of awareness. The birth of presence. The be-ing of self.![IMG_20171224_092742_edit.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRsT27VcBkzvLkngM1LRqMTEkdmvru7qQ7oyFgVLLtNpJ/IMG_20171224_092742_edit.pngThank you for choosing to read this story.

      "body": "![IMG_20171222_084413_edit.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYfY8FNz9RB5QFGGyGHLvBU7Bm42tiFDbtekTwSYuFe5P/IMG_20171222_084413_edit.png)Socrates, considered as one of the founders of Western philosophy, was once named the wisest man on earth by the Oracle of Delphi. When Socrates heard that the oracle had made such a comment, he believed that the statement was wrong.\n\n    Socrates said: “I know one thing: that I know nothing.”\n\nHow can the smartest man on earth know nothing? I heard this paradoxical wisdom for the first time from my school teacher when I was 14 or 15. It made such an impact on me that I used Socrates’s quote as my learning strategy.\n\n“I know nothing” to me, means that you might be an educated person, but still, you know nothing. You can learn from everything and everyone.\n\nOne thing that I like better than learning from my mistakes is to learn from other people’s mistakes. Over the years, I’ve been blessed to have great mentors, teachers, family, friends, that taught me about life.\n\nWhat you will find below is a list of the most important things I learned from other people and books. Some of the lessons took me a long time to learn—but if I had to learn these things all by myself, it would take me a lot longer.\n\nWe might learn things quickly, but we often forget things at the same rate—and sometimes we need to remind ourselves of the things we’ve learned.\n\nHere are 25 of those reminders that others taught me.\n\n    Struggle Is Good\n    Never say “I can’t take it anymore.” Say “Bring it on!”\n    Don’t Complain\n    Complaining is the biggest waste of time there is. Either do something about it, and if you can’t, shut up about it.\n    Spend Time With People You Love\n    That’s your family and best friends. If you don’t have a family, create one. Most people in life are only visitors. Family is for life.\n    Don’t Start A Relationship If You’re Not In Love\n    I’ve done this more than once. You kind of like someone and think: “We might as well give it a shot.” Not a good idea. You’re either in love, or you are not. Don’t fool yourself. It’s not fair to you and the other person.\n    Exercise Daily\n    I didn’t get this until recently. A healthy body is where you have to start everything in life. If you can’t build a healthy and strong body, what CAN you build in life?\n    Keep A Journal\n    No, keeping a journal is not for children. It helps you to become a better thinker and writer. “I don’t want to be a writer” you might think. Well, how many emails and texts do you send a day? Everybody is a writer.\n    Be Grateful\n    Say ‘thank you’ to everyone and everything. “Thank you for this beautiful day.” “Thank you for your email.” “Thank you for being there for me.”\n    Don’t Care About What People Think\n    We all die in the end, do you really think it matters what people think of you?\n    Take More Risks\n    Don’t be such a wimp.\n    Pick An Industry, Not A Job\n    If you want to become good at something, you need to spend years and years doing that. You can’t do that if you hop from industry to industry. Pick an industry you love and start at the bottom. You will find the perfect role for you eventually.\n    Lead The Way\n    When you find yourself in a situation where everyone looks at each other, it’s time for you to lead. You‘re a leader when you decide to become one. There’s no initiation or a title. Just a decision.\n    Money Is Not The Most Important Thing\n    You have to train yourself not to care about money and focus on providing value instead. Also, don’t become too dependent on the stuff you own — otherwise, the stuff will own you.\n    Be Nice\n    I don’t mean you should be a pushover. You can be someone that doesn’t take shit and be nice about it. Just don’t insult people, think you’re better than them, or act like an idiot.\n    Learn Every Day\n    You’ve got to train your brain to stay alert. You don’t have to read a book a day to learn every day. Learn from your mistakes. Learn from the people around you — be open to what they can teach you.\n    Rest Before You Are Tired\n    Even if you love your job, and every day seems like a holiday, you need to take time to rest. You’re a human and not an android, never forget that.\n    Don’t Judge\n    Just because people make different choices than you, they are not stupid. Also, you don’t know everything about people, so don’t judge them — help them.\n    Think About Others\n    Just be mindful, that’s all. We all have families, bills to pay, and our own issues.

When Socrates heard that the oracle had made such a comment, he believed that the statement was wrong.\n\n    Socrates said: “I know one thing: that I know nothing.”\n\nHow can the smartest man on earth know nothing? I heard this paradoxical wisdom for the first time from my school teacher when I was 14 or 15. It made such an impact on me that I used Socrates’s quote as my learning strategy.\n\n“I know nothing” to me, means that you might be an educated person, but still, you know nothing. You can learn from everything and everyone.\n\nOne thing that I like better than learning from my mistakes is to learn from other people’s mistakes. Over the years, I’ve been blessed to have great mentors, teachers, family, friends, that taught me about life.\n\nWhat you will find below is a list of the most important things I learned from other people and books. Some of the lessons took me a long time to learn—but if I had to learn these things all by myself, it would take me a lot longer.\n\nWe might learn things quickly, but we often forget things at the same rate—and sometimes we need to remind ourselves of the things we’ve learned.\n\nHere are 25 of those reminders that others taught me.\n\n    Struggle Is Good\n    Never say “I can’t take it anymore.” Say “Bring it on!”\n    Don’t Complain\n    Complaining is the biggest waste of time there is. Either do something about it, and if you can’t, shut up about it.\n    Spend Time With People You Love\n    That’s your family and best friends. If you don’t have a family, create one. Most people in life are only visitors. Family is for life.\n    Don’t Start A Relationship If You’re Not In Love\n    I’ve done this more than once. You kind of like someone and think: “We might as well give it a shot.” Not a good idea. You’re either in love, or you are not. Don’t fool yourself. It’s not fair to you and the other person.\n    Exercise Daily\n    I didn’t get this until recently. A healthy body is where you have to start everything in life. If you can’t build a healthy and strong body, what CAN you build in life?\n    Keep A Journal\n    No, keeping a journal is not for children. It helps you to become a better thinker and writer. “I don’t want to be a writer” you might think. Well, how many emails and texts do you send a day? Everybody is a writer.\n    Be Grateful\n    Say ‘thank you’ to everyone and everything. “Thank you for this beautiful day.” “Thank you for your email.” “Thank you for being there for me.”\n    Don’t Care About What People Think\n    We all die in the end, do you really think it matters what people think of you?\n    Take More Risks\n    Don’t be such a wimp.\n    Pick An Industry, Not A Job\n    If you want to become good at something, you need to spend years and years doing that. You can’t do that if you hop from industry to industry. Pick an industry you love and start at the bottom. You will find the perfect role for you eventually.\n    Lead The Way\n    When you find yourself in a situation where everyone looks at each other, it’s time for you to lead. You‘re a leader when you decide to become one. There’s no initiation or a title. Just a decision.\n    Money Is Not The Most Important Thing\n    You have to train yourself not to care about money and focus on providing value instead. Also, don’t become too dependent on the stuff you own — otherwise, the stuff will own you.\n    Be Nice\n    I don’t mean you should be a pushover. You can be someone that doesn’t take shit and be nice about it. Just don’t insult people, think you’re better than them, or act like an idiot.\n    Learn Every Day\n    You’ve got to train your brain to stay alert. You don’t have to read a book a day to learn every day. Learn from your mistakes. Learn from the people around you — be open to what they can teach you.\n    Rest Before You Are Tired\n    Even if you love your job, and every day seems like a holiday, you need to take time to rest. You’re a human and not an android, never forget that.\n    Don’t Judge\n    Just because people make different choices than you, they are not stupid. Also, you don’t know everything about people, so don’t judge them — help them.\n    Think About Others\n    Just be mindful, that’s all. We all have families, bills to pay, and our own issues. Don’t always make everything about yourself.\n    Give Without Expecting Something In Return\n    Don’t keep score. You will become a bitter person if you do that. Give solely for the joy of giving. If you get something in return, great, if you don’t, great.\n    There’s No End Game\n    We, as a species, just are. Don’t try to figure it all out. Enjoy your journey.\n    Enjoy Small Things\n    I like clichés because they are true. Especially this one. You know why? Everyone says they know it, but no one lives up to it.
