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
Separation is for reflection
Separation shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing. It’s sad and hard for sure when you’ve spent countless hours, days, weeks, and months giving it everything you had to that person or job you loved so much.

All these thoughts. Positive and negative. Positive thoughts that are telling you, “you could become the person you dream of after hard work, being disciplined, and having consistency and persistence”. But the negative thoughts — these are the killers. They tell you that you suck; they tell you that you’ll never get to be the person you’re … Continue reading Make it or break it
Fasting though life
The idea of giving up food in any shape or form for a whole day sounds out of this world for most people. Why should I even do that when there’s so much of it around me at any given moment and time? That’s true. Why should I? But that’s the truth that opened my … Continue reading Fasting though life
Best friends
The term best friends or anything similar is too fragile. People come and go. Some stay longer, some are there when you’re doing well and leave when you’re struggling. Of course these aren’t real best friends or friends at all. Some friends hang with you because they feel good around you, while others need something from … Continue reading Best friends
