There is always so much emphasis on the work, on dedicating your time, effort and energy. There are quotes like the grind don't stop or I'll sleep when I'm dead. And that's fine. There's nothing wrong with working hard, being dedicated and focusing on making money or building something (as in a non-physical thing like … Continue reading Making time for fun

Short-term pros
When making a decision you might find yourself making a pros and cons list. The choice you make in the end is likely to be based on whether the cons make the benefits worth it. But sometimes we focus too much on the short-term. Making a particular decision might be great right now, great in … Continue reading Short-term pros
Getting ready for what you want
If there's something that you want and something that you're working towards, you might find that you don't quite know what to do once you finally get it.

Expectations of others
I think that quite often we expect that those with more money, more opportunities and more freedom then we have should be doing more simply because they have more. I think that's fine up to a point but it's also important to consider that each individual has their own desires. You could have access to … Continue reading Expectations of others

And so you have 2 choices. The first is to follow that feeling and the second is to ignore it. Following that feeling will … Continue reading Going with the tide
