Debbies brother

It's quite challenging being around someone who seems to have a dark view of the world. It's easy to get caught in their viewpoint because you feel almost guilty for having that pep in your step.

The last hurdle

The bit that is often rushed, least cared about and the most overlooked is the bit before the end. I'm learning that adopting a sprinters mentality might be the way to go.

Step 5

I have a habit of focusing on the bigger picture. I'm trying to see if it's possible to come up with 365 blog posts in around a month. The fear of failing is real. But at the same time it doesn't really mean anything if I miss a day as the only person I'm doing … Continue reading Step 5 →
