Gotta ask
On the same line as taking chances, there’s one thing most people rarely do: asking. It’s often difficult to approach someone and ask them something we want or need, especially when we feel it’d be acceptable to do so. Also, knowing that there’s very little to lose if we ask. However, there’s something holding us back. We’re … Continue reading Gotta ask

I’ve also been there and done that. The good side of losing these is that they’re all recoverable. You can buy a … Continue reading What’s there to fear
Being a good one
What’s so difficult about being a good human being? It’s doesn’t take that much effort, does it? I think we owe this to our friends and family, society and ourselves. What if we could become a good citizen? Someone who genuinely cares about others. Someone who cares about what you do and the impact it might have … Continue reading Being a good one
Learning to stop
Sometimes learning to say no and learning to stop doing something is the most difficult thing in life. We say yes too often or keep doing stuff that hurts us. We keep doing things that aren’t even on par with our principles and values, what we stand for. Why do we do this when we … Continue reading Learning to stop
