We all have options and choices, similar to human rights. We have the choice to agree or disagree, to say fuck yeah or hell no, to choose what we want out of life, who we want to be, where we want to go, what we want to believe in, who we want to partner up … Continue reading Your choices
We sometimes forget…
We sometimes forget how difficult it was at the beginning – just to start something. Sure it was fun and joyful, but we struggled and had breakdowns (so many!), yet we fought back and ultimately made it. Now that we see others go through these experiences and hardships, I hope...
Getting there versus being there
“Before you attain it, it’s something wonderful. After you attain it, it’s nothing special.”* It’s in our natural human capacity to overvalue things that are outside of our control and things that we don’t own yet, giving them more significance than they’re originally valued at.

It’s a two-way thing
All relationships are two-sided. This means that there's always a giver and a receiver, but this doesn't mean that the giver should always be the giver or the receiver should always be the receiver.

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

Money is nice and solves many fundamental life problems, but it can't buy contentment and all the intangible things … Continue reading How much is enough?

Overachievers are overrated
How often does social media make you feel like you’re not doing enough, working enough, achieving enough, or just not good enough? Probably often? More like always? No wonder people feel stressed out and depressed as a result. The social media image of happy people looking like they have it all figured out sometimes makes … Continue reading Overachievers are overrated
