Reflections by Kunal Gupta

It's important to recognize that while I've benefited greatly from my passport, it's something that I didn't earn.

A vacation with my sister in Greece highlighted the differences between our personalities shaped by both nature and nurture, allowing me to accept myself and appreciate the role of both in shaping who we are.

The world will keep changing. Those around me will keep changing. I will keep changing. However, I do not need to force any of it. It is in

The more I appreciate the value of space, the more I understand its necessity in moving through life.

Last week, I had a remarkable experience that left me feeling deeply moved and inspired.

I recently announced a new CEO for my technology business and that I have moved into a board role. For me, it marks a profound shift in my professional identity. Since founding the business 15 years ago, in my early 20s, I have been known to my external world as a CEO. This is no longer the case.

I recently got new bed sheets. The morning after sleeping on them for the first time, I lay in bed, awake, curious about their impact on me. The first thought that raced through my mind was, 'did I sleep better with these new bed sheets?' . I then started to wonder how I would be able to tell. Would my Oura ring pick up the difference in my sleep data? Might my energy level in the morning be notic...

My mind is capable of imagining the ideal scenario, for practically everything. It assumes the ideal conditions and circumstances by default.

In recent weeks, I have noticed a brilliant moment most mornings as I wake up.

I grew up learning to feel confident only once there was a reason to.

This past week, I got to spend time with the most inspiring person I have ever met in my life.

For nearly a decade, I have had a New Year ritual to pick one single word as my intention for the year ahead.

My experiment was to go into a silent retreat, in my own home, by myself, for 4 days.

When I observe for a moment my daily lifestyle, an abundance mindset guides my choices, without a doubt.

To make peace with my past is not easy.

If I wanted to feel more relaxed, more often, my default thesis was that I need to make more time and space for relaxing activities.

Very few of my friends know what I do , and even those that do don’t seem very interested in knowing more.

We all seem to live in our own little, for some large, empires of worry.

It was one year ago today that I moved to Portugal and it has been an incredible first year in this new continent, country and culture.

Earlier this week, I was complaining to my therapist about how I wanted more spontaneity in my life.

Flowing with waves of desires arising and disappearing is how I will continue to swim through life.

Every choice, action or word is part of a chain of cause and effect. I appear to be more the effect than the cause in my life, and that feels disconcerting to say out loud.

The love of a parent towards a child is said to be unconditional. It could also be said that the love of a parent towards a child is annoying.

I have observed in life that the benefits of practicing trust often outweigh the risks of feeling disappointed.

There is a piece of real estate that I have discovered to be the most valuable in the world.
