If someone told you that giving up Netflix for 30 days and focusing on your project/thing instead was all you needed to do to reach your goal, could you do it? And more importantly, would you? Sometimes those 30 days of commitment, consistency and focus are all you need to get the ball in motion, … Continue reading What are you willing to sacrifice?

The love of reading
I used to love reading and I did it any chance I got. I'd stay up late with a torch reading a book under the covers until I could keep my eyes open no longer and as soon as I woke up I'd start reading again. It was something so simple that brought me so … Continue reading The love of reading
If you want something different
We so often go through life wishing and hoping for things but not taking any action. It could be wanting a new job because you aren't happy in your current job but all you do is complain about it. Wanting to meet new people but never going anywhere new. Wanting to get fit but coming … Continue reading If you want something different
If you haven’t got anything ‘good’ to say…
...say something better tomorrow. Not everything you say will be good, perfect or profound. But that doesn't mean you should say nothing. So often we bite our tongue because we don't don't think that what we have to say is enough of whatever we think it needs to be. Next time you're about to keep quiet, … Continue reading If you haven’t got anything ‘good’ to say…
It could be fun
Last year I wrote a few haikus. I didn't do anything with them so I have no collection of opinions of how dreadful or amazingly amazing they are. But I found 5, 7, 5 (the pattern of a haiku) to be a fun and interesting way to express a thought or feeling in a new … Continue reading It could be fun
Call yourself out
Maybe you've been slacking with your time and attention lately. Cancelling plans, showing up late, knowingly giving the minimum effort required. But it's in such a way, almost a subtle way that it's not enough for anyone to call you out. So, instead of waiting for someone else to do it, call yourself out. Maybe … Continue reading Call yourself out
Spending time
Imagine if you took a break from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TV and Facebook. How much more time would you have each week? And if you used that time to work on something you truly care about or something that will benefit you like learning a new skill, learning a new language, studying, writing your book … Continue reading Spending time
I’ll do it tomorrow
But you've been saying that for the past few weeks now. Tomorrow often seems more convenient or maybe you just hope you'll be more in the mood to get it done. That's how hours or days turn into weeks, we hold this belief that we should wait until we're in the mood but you may … Continue reading I’ll do it tomorrow
Is a 9-5 enough?
In an age where we can create our own platforms and put our voices out there I often ask myself if I should be doing more. Granted I have 2 blogs alongside working full-time and studying part-time but writing on my blog is something that is so safe and familiar to me that I wonder … Continue reading Is a 9-5 enough?
Do you remember 4 years ago?
I recently bumped into someone that I hadn't seen in 4 years. Sure we follow each other on social media but we don't interact with each other much. So what was so amazing is that things fell right into place as though no time had passed, in the best possible way. This person even brought … Continue reading Do you remember 4 years ago?
