Hello there. My name is The Daily Minder and I am the real person behind The Daily Mind.

I made this page to show you a little bit about who I am and why I created this blog. Here is my brief biography.

A Brief Biography of The Daily Minder

Early Years
A quiet boy born into a middle class family, The Daily Minder grew up in a nice suburb in a small city. During his primary school years he spent his time playing sport and video games like any normal boy. However, at around age 10 he had a sudden epiphany while watching his sad father go to work – there must be more to life than school, study, money and jobs. Desperate to find something meaningful in his life he began reading books and studying ancient eastern martial arts.

Throughout high school The Daily Minder continued his martial arts studies, taking particular interest in Chinese Kung Fu. He trained long hours both before and after school in an attempt to reach a level of deep inner peace.

Spiritual Journeys
In the first year of high school he was given a Buddhist book which he read with much energy. This book triggered a love of Eastern philosophy and before long he was reading the works of Buddha, Confucius and the Taoist masters. However, it was the Tibetan Buddhist teachings that mostly captivated his imagination and a few weeks after high school ended he travelled to North India to meet and study with the exiled Tibetan Buddhist monks and yogis. He has returned to North India every year since.

Work Life
He soon realized, however, that he needed a job. He could not live as a hermit his entire life. He found simple work and quickly discovered that a 9 to 5 job was not spiritually satisfying. Depressed and sad he worked the job like a zombie, wishing he could be back in the mountains meditating.

The second epiphany occurred in early 2007 when The Daily Minder realized that all the buddhist, zen, taoist and philosophical teachings of the world could be applied to everyday work. Suddenly his ordinary work became a living meditation. A balance between spiritual life and the rat races was possible.
