Lucky
Some things sound like a terrible idea yet actually turn out perfectly fine. I think that's called luck. Sometimes those that consider themselves to be lucky get into the habit of pushing the boat out. They want to push their luck as far as it can go without it going over the edge. In other … Continue reading Lucky
How to get better at achieving your goals
Happy New Year! It's gotten to a point where many people shun new years resolutions (goals, plans, intentions etc.). They assume they won't last so don't see the point in bothering.

A fresh start is a mindset not an action
When you think of a fresh start, what comes to mind? A new city, a new stage in education, a new country, a new relationship, a new job, a promotion or a new home.

You could fix this … Continue reading Complaint without action
