We often make the mistake of thinking that the best way to deal with uncertainty is to remove it from our lives. It makes sense because without all these unknowns there is less risk and you will feel safer. But the problem with this approach is that you can't control everything. Uncertainty will always be … Continue reading Uncertainty is inevitable

Sticking with what you know
The familiarity of what you know might be the thing that keeps you from exploring other ideas or options. Let's take the example of food. Imagine you go to a restaurant and order the duck. Now imagine the duck is incredibly delicious and so each time you go back, you order the same thing. You … Continue reading Sticking with what you know
Sometimes you don’t need advice
I am a firm believer that in almost every moment, you know exactly what you need to do and exactly what decisions you want to make. So often we see advice from others because we feel stuck or get overwhelmed by possibility and uncertainty. However, what I've learnt even is that when you allow yourself … Continue reading Sometimes you don’t need advice
The difference between right and wrong
Right now there are a lot of discussions about what is right and wrong. More often than not we consider it to be black and white. Of course in some cases it is that clear but there are also many cases where the waters are murky. Robin Hood was known for stealing from the rich … Continue reading The difference between right and wrong
Getting across the beam
We often underestimate the role that belief plays in our development. But the truth is you could be so much more if only you believed. Take something as seemingly insignificant as walking across a balancing beam. The people that make it from one side to the other will be the ones that believe they can … Continue reading Getting across the beam

But life will never go exactly as you plan, no matter how hard you try to … Continue reading Figuring it out as you go
Making a mountain out of a molehill
It might not be such a bad idea. When it comes to creating content, you have so many options: blog posts, Instagram feed, Insta-stories, IGTV, YouTube, podcasts, tweets etc. I've been thinking about how instead of just creating one thing, you can share one piece of content across different platforms. That's a great way to … Continue reading Making a mountain out of a molehill
Why it’s so hard to be yourself
It's easier said than done. We grow up having people tell us to be more or less of ourselves. And for many at a young age you follow the words of those older than you. That's fine when it comes to things like eating a balanced diet, doing your homework and being kind to people. … Continue reading Why it’s so hard to be yourself
The storm before the calm
Often in life there are things we go through in order to reap the rewards later on. To study for a degree because you've been convinced that having one will make things easier in the future. To stay in a relationship that isn't great but you hope that it'll all be for the best once … Continue reading The storm before the calm
Dancing with fear
I could probably write a book on things I've learnt from Seth Godin. Seth taught me that maybe this fear is something I can work with instead of work for. As in, I can do everything I want to do and still have fear, instead letting the fear dictate what I do (which always ends … Continue reading Dancing with fear
