Welcome to "VanLov's greatness is ageless" society! (5-minute read)
Let me introduce myself, amico mio. My real name is Ivan Nikolov and I am from Burgas, Bulgaria. The "Van Lov" sobriquet comes from iVAN nikoLOV. Sounds like Vin Diesel, doesn't it 😂😂? By the way in the past I came up with the idea to become an actor. Things are going on a different way from being an actor (for now). I study dental medicine in the Sofia Medical university and, interestingly, TODAY starts my first semester of the first year. Of course, being simply in the Matrix with a university degree (albeit it is a medicine degree) is not my cup of tea, so I decided to become familiar with some other activities as well. It was the last Christmas day in 2022 (December 27th) that I got blocked by a girl that I was in love with when I started writing ideas for my book(s). Up to this date - September 23rd - I have 840 pages in Samsung Notes, which, if estimated in Word pages (letter size 14), is 288 pages (just over 84 000 words). Having a community means a lot to me because it "burns my ships" into writing my book officially, not just some ideas. However, who am I actually? What have I achieved in my life so far? What stands behind this "Van Lov" thing? Apart from the fact that in several years I will be able to make you the best smile you can imagine, I have already struggled with some aspects of my intellectual, emotional and spiritual development. When I studied in elementary school not only was I bullied, but I also didn't have some real friends. Every friendship was volatile and fragile - changing from day to day. I have been good mathematician since I was 4 years old. My mother remembers these times because I had the proclivity to add and subtract 3-digit numbers to/from other 3-digit numbers. Well, my math tallent, coupled with my eagerness to escape from this school, made me apply for maths high school when I was in the end of 4th grade (the other opportunity was in the end of 7th grade - IMPOSSIBLE to bear all of it 3 years more). I won't bore you with all the things and circumstances I had to face in my life. I'd rather love to share my 12-month exponential growth (from October 2023 to (almost) October 2024) which I experienced due to all of these obstacles and some circumstances that incapacitated me.

Defeating fears (part 2) (3-minute read)
The 5th day of 2025 has just started and I decided to create part 2 for defeating fears, so that you can have splendid 2025. Have you ever heard that a team is as strong as its weakest unit? Imagine that your inner team is all your emotions and belief systems. Your weakest unit would be your fear(s). They are your weakest unit. Paradoxally, you have to blur their influence in order to strenghten your weakest unit. GOOD NEWS - your weak spots (your fears) also have weak spots. Amazing, isn't it? A survey conducted in Michigan University reveals the following: 1. 60% of our fears are completely unreasonable; they never happen. 2. 20% of our fears are focused on our past, which is totally out of our control. 3. 10% of them are based on things that are so insignificant that they don't matter to our existence. 4. From the other 10% only 4 to 5% can be deemed to be reasonable. These statistics show that every second and dose of energy attached to fears are fully wasted and unproductive for 95% of the time. Weeks ago I heard something from Alex Hormozi - "The best way to solve a problem is to look at it as it is not a problem anymore." To support these words I am sharing with you an Indian tale: Desperate, the student went to his teacher and asked him: - How can I free myself, teacher? The teacher replied: - And who binds you, my friend? What if you just look from the perspective of NO-perspective? It - the fear - doesn't exist anymore. In my opinion, the only thing you should be afraid of is negative thoughts. If you contemplate on life and your current situation in negative way, you LACK WISDOM because all the benefits come to the wise ones who take actions. Fears might be also signs for lack of knowledge and wisdom. As a consequence, you possibly have limiting belief systems and negative aura. Enrich your mind. Notice how CHILDREN do it. When you are afraid, visualise that you are a small child who does not know that he should be afraid. Like, for example, that you should beware of wasps because they sting. Fear is formed only when stung. You haven't been stung yet, but you're already scared due to a story you happened to be told in the distant past. By the way do you want a child to be braver than you? As Albert Camus marks quite deeply: "He, who lacks courage, always finds a philosophy to justify himself."

Unlimited work (0,5-minute read)
As 2025 is already enrolling for another 365 days, an important reminder/lesson for new better success would be that the only limit to your greatness tomorrow are your doubts today. So, start/continue with believing in yourself because this is required for unlimited work. Aaaand... If you do have unlimited work it means that your perspicacity is unlimited, too. You perceive future development in many areas. GO ON! Only your perspicacity for unlimited work is limited. Live with greatness, so you can be ageless. - Van Lov

Christmas is amazing and Christmas can be a trap (1-minute read)
I love Christmas. These days of the year show how people should behave the other 362 days. All family members gather round, you feel the warmth and overindulge yourself. Here is the trap - if you are a person who adores his discomfort and development, you will quite soon feel that all this cosiness dulls your sharp senses of being like a lion when it comes to hunting greatness. I felt it. However, instead of fighting it, I decided to focus on developing. You see, if you had 2 dogs - one in the dark and ine in the light, which one would survive? . . . . . . . . . The one you feed. If I focus on vanquishing discomfort, I will become one with it. I decides to accept it and I focused on the dog in the light - my growth and discomfort zone. Accept your pain and disadvantages. Otherwise they will wrap around you and crush you. Focus on the light. Merry Christmas and Happy New year! - Van Lov

Why you can't start (1-minute read)
It is all about the beginning. The main mistake is that you MISLEAD yourself thinking about all the actions you will have to make in order to reach your final goal. You don't need 100% to achieve 100%. You need to START and overcome the beginning in order to reach for the middle (around 30%). The beginning requires just ONE step. In front of you you can place a fog, so not to be scary when the process seems arduous. Believe in yourself because luck comes to the courageous. These who believe, escape the Matrix. Without belief you will stay in your cacoon and never finish the metamorphosis. The bigger the action, the bigger the belief required and the bigger the growth. You need 100% positive energy. No mediocre and limited belief systems from people working as clerks blaming society and Universe for their subaverage life. Choose impeccability. It all starts with belief. And remember that even 2 minutes effort are INFINITELY many times better than 0 minutes. Live with greatness, so you can be ageless. - Van Lov
