Girl off-track

It happens to the best of us and sometimes it's what we need. Falling off-track serves as a necessary reminder of what we've learnt or how far we've come. Noticing that your habits and practices have dissolved and been replaced by your former unhelpful ways is just a sign to get yourself back on track. … Continue reading Girl off-track →

A different way

When you get into the routine of doing things a certain way, it might not even occur to you that there is a different or better way of doing things. After all you have your way and it works, it's comfortable and familiar. So, what does it take for someone who is set in their ways … Continue reading A different way →

Giving up

Sometimes when things look difficult the first thing you want to do is give up. After all there's no way you can do it. You're not smart enough, you'll fail or someone else can do it better than you.

Persistence, commitment and return

There are people that are incredibly persistent at what they do and they're terrible at it. I think about that alot when it comes to blogging because it's something I started in 2011 which is quite insane because I've never really gotten much from it. But one of the main reasons I've stuck with it … Continue reading Persistence, commitment and return →
