Perfection is for those who rarely get anything completed or published. I read that somewhere. The idea of getting things perfect doesn’t really make complete sense sometimes. I look and strive for progress; it could take me longer, but I know I will get things completed and published — out to the public. When you work for … Continue reading Progress, not perfection

Fake it till you make it
This is probably the worst thing you could do to yourself. It doesn't solve the problem if you don't know what you're doing, nor does it help you become better at what you do. Pretending you know everything there is to be known only shows your unwillingness to learn from others or to be taught; … Continue reading Fake it till you make it
Being comfortable with yourself.
We are busy, operate much more like machines, days go by quickly, and we rarely have enough time to be alone and think because we’re often looking at our small, medium, big — you name it — screen. When was the last time you were alone, sat down and thought about what’s really happening in your life? You aren’t … Continue reading Being comfortable with yourself.
Life is like a book.
I believe life is a book with hundreds, if not thousands, of very different chapters that don’t fully make sense while reading it forward, but in retrospect everything makes perfect sense and readers comprehend every decision the main character of the story made, why it was made, and the challenges around it. It’s like that … Continue reading Life is like a book.
Relationships are full-time jobs.
It’s just the way it is. Difficult. Dating is this and all that wraps what a relationship to-be entails. For some it’s fun to meet new people every week and filter and keep filtering until you finally find the right candidate — let’s say “the perfect one”. But this rarely happens and if it does, you’re a … Continue reading Relationships are full-time jobs.
Time and Current State of Life
Day in and day out some magical part of my brain reminds me of how valuable time is and how little we have of it. As human beings, we truly do not live that long, even if you reach 80 or 90 years of existence. Think about it for a second.
Things That Matter: Traveling
I love traveling. It's become an essential part of my life and has taught me more than I could've ever imagined; from cultures, languages, currencies and negotiation to living as simple as possible, doing more with less, valuing every meal, conversation and person I meet, being a more well-rounded and open-minded person, and understanding people better.
New Year’s Resolutions? Create Habits Instead!
What's one of the last thoughts that come through most people's mind before the year ends? New Year's Resolutions for the coming year! Until here everything seems and sound perfect and achievable. But guess what...
What Snowboarding Taught Me – Mt. Rose ’16
Some people live to learn while others learn to live. Some people fall and remain on the ground while others fall and stand up to keep on trying. Which one are you? Fortunately, nobody is the same, and there isn't a reason why we should be. Otherwise, life would be kind of boring, wouldn't you agree?
Being with Myself
Being alone is difficult. We are used to having people around that make us feel different emotions all day and every day. Being alone is complex, but should be seen as a time to learn about ourselves and see how we behave when nobody is looking at us. That's when our true animal comes out … Continue reading Being with Myself
