For more than four years, I have been working on most weekends. I’m not trying to brag or be a victim but it was my choice to grow my skills. And for most people at the beginning of the year, I reflected about the last year and intended to ‘relax’ this year and not too work so hard. Compared to previous years, this was very unlike me. But something interesting happened. It felt uncomfortable to have a direction that was not purposeful. Like a stretched out jumper, it no longe

It is no secret that focus and determination is needed to achieve your goals. But maybe, you have entered the crazy zone and you’re feeling euphoric getting to the end. But how do we take it to another level? The reason why we have certain values and ideas of reality is that we consume these ideas from the people around us. Our friends, our family members, social media, the music we listen to, the movies we watch and even everyday news. From the day we were born, our parents

So now, you know why you can’t change your habits. There’s too many shoulda, coulda and woulda’s in your self talk. And, you realise what you are doing now is not coming close to what you need to do to achieve your goals. If you are - fantastic! If not, read on... So, you have written down your goals and you understand why you can’t achieve your goals. But how do I change a habit? It always seems easier said than done. Write down your goals and then write down the steps towar

The first month of the year means looking into the new year with new hope and possibilities. We think about our goals. We think about our future prospects. And we may take the next step by writing goals down and deadlines. But for most of us, our good intentions are disregarded in the first month. We think its too hard. The goals are too big. And maybe just too soon to repair or accomplish. We comfort ourselves that we will do it next time. But the problem with ‘next time’ is

Life teaches us lessons. Lessons we never asked for and ones waiting in the shadows. Depending on where you are in life, the lessons can be harder and more complicated than you have ever known. And sometimes, those struggles keep re-appearing; ready to be solved. In the situation, it may not feel like we are ready but in actual fact, we are ready. The situation feels so unknown that we do not know how to handle or solve the situation. We can become so blinded by the struggle

Every day people struggle to achieve their goals. Sometimes it can because of money. And sometimes it can be because of time. Whether we have control of outside influences, they don’t make us feel great. And when things stand in the way, self motivation can be a very hard thing to keep going. Along the way, i found that certain people do different things to achieve their goals. And I have noticed the main difference of mindset is how they perceive their goal. And yes, achievi

I remember the moment when i knew something bigger was meant for me. In my younger years, i was working for a bookstore at the airport and the longer i worked there, i noticed how people behaved differently before flying to their destination. From the guy who demanded to get a newspaper at 4am in the morning to the business people who went on their way, i slowly noticed what they bought and how they treated me. Certain people bought the newspaper. Certain people bought books.

Life is hard enough it is without the support in your life. We enjoy the company of friends and family and we have something else on the horizon. You dream of a better job. You dream of better prospects. You dream of more success. You dream of more happiness. We listen and watch people who inspire us. And we are liberated when we see someone fulfil their dreams. The popularity of reality shows are people chasing and achieving their goals and dreams, Whether if its losing weig

When your morning routine becomes your routine *state the obvious* we are oblivious to what we are doing. We walk through our morning just doing what we need to do to start our day. I realised the pivotal moments to having a good (and lasting) day is the way we treat our mornings. My mornings wasn’t particularly out of the ordinary but I was confused why i walked through my mornings without a grudge and others seem to have a painful time getting out of bed. So here are five s

Two words. Thank you. One of the most underdog of words in the english language. While we are told that saying thank you is being polite. How and how much you say these words will ultimately affect the quality of your life. When you say these words with honesty and sincerity, the universe can work in mysterious ways. The words ‘thank you’ can create and build a relationship with people and the community. Living in the big cities we can sometimes forget our manners and get cau
