????????? for weekly self-growth videos ?✨ For many of us, life seems like a burden. We didn’t ask to be born, yet here we are… Having to put in constant effort every single day just to stay alive. We get bombarded with painful emotions and unfavourable events regularly and sometimes, its really hard not to think “What is the point?! Why am I still doing this?”. I totally get it… I’ve definitely been there myself. Actually, for the majority of my life, that was the way I thought about things. But seriously! What’s the point of living like that?! I mean we are here, aren’t we? Why not work to make it the best it could possibly be?! Over the years, my perspective on this subject has really shifted. I no longer wake up in the morning dreading the upcoming day. On most days, I wake up genuinely feeling excited to spend more time working on whatever projects I have going. Of course, I’m human and not every day feels like effortless magic but as a whole, my life truly does. In this video, I explore the philosophy that I have that allows me to feel this way. I hope you find it helpful! Oh and also, if you identified with any of the ideas presented in this video, I highly recommend reading this article: https://highexistence.com/obvious-purpose-life/ - I got bored of doing sit down videos so I decided to vlog but then I accidentally snuck a sit down video within the vlog. To be honest, I like this format. The best of both worlds! –MY DAAL CHAWAL RECIPE– (Yes I might be overusing spices but NO REGRETS!!!!! ?) 1 cup split red lentils (masoor daal) 2 cups of chicken stock/chicken broth 1 cup of water 1 tbs oil or ghee 1/4 tsp turmeric (for boiling lentils) 1 onion 2 tomatoes 1 inch ginger (peeled and grated) 4 cloves garlic (grated) ½ jalapeno pepper or add some green chilies (optional) 1 tsp coriander powder ½ tsp cumin powder 1 tsp turmeric (for tarka in pan with onions/tomatoes etc.) 1 tsp cumin/coriander seed mix 1 tsp red chili powder 1 tsp salt 1. Add lentils, chicken stock, and water to a pot. Add turmeric, coriander powder, and cumin powder and mix. Bring to boil and let simmer on low for about 15 minutes. 2. For the tarka, in a separate pan, brown diced onion in oil/ghee on medium/high heat. Add diced green chilies, cumin/coriander seed mix, red chili powder, ginger, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and cook for another 5-10 minutes. 3. When the tomatoes are soft, mix the tarka from step 2 into the boiled lentils from step 1. Cover and let simmer on low for about 10 min (for dhum). 4. Add salt. Start with 1/2 tsp and add more if you need to. 5. Serve with whatever you want. I used basmati rice. How watery the daal is is up to you. You can make it less watery ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqbpwfwnN8I
