Who cares?
We should care. It’s our life. How can we make life more sustainable and optimized, less dramatic and problematic, and more fun and interesting? It’s up to us. Perhaps begin with some healthy habits like not falling under the 80-hour workweek trap, sleeping 7–8 hours per night, eating healthy, doing some kind of exercise regularly, … Continue reading Who cares?
FOMO
What’s the opposite of FOMO? Could it be EFMO (Enjoyment From Missing Out)? Lately, I’ve felt enjoyment from missing out on some events simply because I want to enjoy/take time for personal and career growth, as well as spending some time around family. I don’t think there’s anything wrong or bad about it. Do you? … Continue reading FOMO

Friendships, loving relationship, life and work projects, college, travels, honeymoon periods… … Continue reading Ending is beginning

Should your life be your work or your work be your life? Some people don’t have any sense or understanding that work isn’t life. We were never created to let our work be our life. Not now, not in a million years. Obviously, most people find a life purpose and meaning through work, but there … Continue reading Seriously?
Decision-making
Sometimes you have to face it. And by sometimes I mean everyday, so you better be fresh to make the right decision. Maybe not the best, but the one you think outweighs the alternatives. You know what helps? Getting enough sleep, going for a walk or run, and knowing the outcome you want from this … Continue reading Decision-making
Family
Spend time with them. Take care of them. Enjoy them. For they’ll be there when nobody is anymore.
