Hey, I’m Konstantin Lapshin. Welcome to my personal development blog.

I wanna be upfront about what it is that I’m doing here. 

I’m fascinated by the human mind and why we do things that we do. I love exploring new things about meditation, fulfillment, happiness, relationships, psychology, and Buddhism. What I do is document my journey as an introvert and share with you the answers and solutions that I find to the things I struggle with the most in life.

Life is simple yet complicated. And like many people, I’m doing my best to figure it all out. What does it all mean? Why are we here? Why we do what we do? Why do people suffer? Why finding happiness is so damn hard?

This is my journey. And since keeping a journal, sharing, and talking about what I learn is something I absolutely love to do… here we are.

I spend an uncomfortable amount of time on meditation, retrospection, thinking, listening, reading, and writing on the subject of improving the quality of my life.

Being extremely introverted, plus my medical condition and my constant struggle with chronic pain, the most important question to me would probably always be about different types of suffering: when and why it occurs, and crucially —what are the best ways to deal with it all the while becoming a better person. 

Sharing with you the ways I deal with suffering on a daily basis can show you a different angle, on how other people deal with things that are similar to what you have to deal with (or even worse), so that you can apply some of the things I mention here to your own life and drastically improve its quality without the use of medication or drugs. 

As cliche, as it sounds, It’s great to know that you are not alone in this. 

Don’t ever forget — we’re all in this together, we’re all just trying to figure out our lives and be happy.

Life is a bloody miracle. I’ve always believed that. However, I’m not delusional (or so I think). Life is hard. And it comes with suffering, as it is an intrinsic part of it. But you get to decide to what degree. 

What you do with the cards you were dealt is what matters. It’s really hard, but you get to live it once. 

The way I see it —you might as well find a way to make the best of it.
