Running isn’t for everyone. You will either like it or hate it, or both. I hate the beginning of it, the fact of knowing I’ll be running an inhuman amount of miles in a single run. But I like every moment of it during the run as running has become my passive meditation during the … Continue reading Like it or hate it

On dating and relationships…
Breaking up is never easy. Neither is trying to get over a relationship that was fun, full of good and fulfilling experiences – one that seemed the ideal for the type of people we once were. Our personalities and love style were so similar, and our ideals and vision for the future were also once … Continue reading On dating and relationships…
It’s ok not to be ok
Having personal or career issues? You’re far from being the first, last, or only one. We have all needed some form of help at some point, and most of us have also not looked for this help because we thought it was too small to ask for help and that we could either fix it … Continue reading It’s ok not to be ok
How much is enough?

Similarly, I don't really care much and wouldn't judge you based on your race, gender, religion, culture, or sexual inclination. What I truly care about is how you treat people around you, both the people you know … Continue reading Two kinds
Be honest
Making things up to make them seem bigger than they are is easy. Take sales or marketing for example. It’s convenient to over promise, hype things up, create false expectations that might be difficult to meet for the sake of closing a deal. What we should aim for is, to be honest with what we … Continue reading Be honest
An opportunity, just an opportunity
Most people are unquestionably working hard to achieve their goals – whatever they are. They put in the extra time and go the extra mile. Some give up during the process, while others give up when they are close to the finish line – right when an opportunity was about to show up. But how … Continue reading An opportunity, just an opportunity
The complexity of things
It never gets easier. If people knew how complex things would get once they’re deeper into something, they’d probably not start. Things like relationships, families, careers, and businesses just get more difficult the further we are into the process, never easier. When you own a business, you have to deal with complex taxing systems, sometimes … Continue reading The complexity of things
