Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player of all time said, “Limits, just like fears, are often just an illusion.” What can we draw from this statement? It packs in a lot of messages and it also encourages us to develop our self awareness. What I believe Michael was trying to express is that we…
You will be judged and people will make assumptions about you, whether they are fair or not. That’s a fact of life and you need to grow to accept that fact. You need to learn not to take the things that others say personally because nobody truly knows you more than yourself. When you find…
Being a ‘yes man’ so to speak is a difficult character to uphold. At different times in our life we might find ourselves making a lot of sacrifices for others, but we need to be careful that we don’t jeopardise our own health – mentally and physically. So how we can still help others, but…

The reason why I am so passionate about mental health awareness is because many people struggle to understand their own…
The poetry of patience says, ‘Listen intently, don’t say a word’ For it’s the stillness that pays, It’s in the gifts, from people heard When action confronts, and it wills you to do, Be patient enough to think, are my actions ulterior or true? See patience is freedom It’s contentment, its satisfaction It’s peace from…
If you listen close enough, you can hear a silent whisper. It’s the man above, directing you to where you need to be. He might seem to work in ways, that sometimes don’t make sense, but how can something so grand as his plans fit into the realm of what we already know – get…
We all ponder different decisions at different stages of life. We tend to spend more time thinking about the ones that mean more to us – the ones that have more riding on them. It’s easy to sometimes overanalyse a situation and make it into something more intimidating than it actually is. Mark Manson makes…

The mistakes of our past…

Sometimes there’s disappointments, letdowns or frustrations that don’t just affect us but that affect a large number of people.

A tricky statement, sometimes a bit confusing and convoluted but it’s actually quite true. What it means is this – the fact that we believe we always need more, want more and deserve more makes us unappreciative of who we are now.

Learn your process and make it clear, because if you don’t direct yourself consciously to where you want to be, you will never feel the satisfaction of knowing that you intentionally put yourself in the place you needed to be. Circumstances change, and situations happen in life that challenge us in unexpected ways, but here’s…
In a world where we can often get frustrated with what’s happening around us and discouraged when things don’t work out we must learn to be patient. When we try and rush a result just to get the reward it normally doesn’t pay off and in the rare cases where it does, the fulfilment we…
Life’s short, so we’ve really got to hone in on the things that matter. The truth is, we don’t know how long we’re here for and sometimes finding our purpose in such a short time is a struggle. So, what does it mean to give time to the things that matter? Well, put it this…
