Social media makes it really easy to keep up with everything going on in the world around us. From crises happening across the globe to personal details about people we've never met. And on an average day for many, I don't think I'd be wrong in assuming that little thought goes into it. How often … Continue reading Keeping up with strangers

Welcoming normal
I think what many are craving is a sense of 'normal', the way things once were. If you're lucky, normal might have been just fine but it's worth acknowledging that that's not the case for everyone. Of course the easy thing to do would be nothing and just let things go back to what they … Continue reading Welcoming normal
Something to look forward to
This is one of the easiest ways to feel better about life. Instead of gazing into the abyss of nothingness wondering what the future will hold, you can set yourself up with something to look forward to. It could be a catch up with a friend in a few days time or a holiday a … Continue reading Something to look forward to
Making a change vs Doing nothing
When making a difficult decision a good place to start is weighing up the pros and cons. Take some time and really think about it.

But on the other hand can you really call yourself a daily blogger if you don't … Continue reading Learning from mistakes
A convincing sales person
Anyone can make a living selling things if they're good enough at driving sales. It's not about being an 'influencer', having the most followers or being the loudest. Sometimes it's about having something that people want and presenting it to them in a way where they value it enough to buy it. Yet we somehow … Continue reading A convincing sales person

Even when you know what you want you're likely to find yourself making excuses for why it's not possible for you or how it's just a daydream. But also I think it's difficult to admit what you truly want when you know … Continue reading What do you want?
Becoming obsolete
One of my most memorable scenes from Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory comes quite near to the beginning. Charlie's dad worked in a toothpaste factory screwing lid onto each tube one by one. Then one day he lost his job because the factory he worked in bought a machine that could do his job … Continue reading Becoming obsolete
When it’s no longer trendy
For some people they choose to follow trends not because it's something they care about but because it's what everbody else is doing. And once the trend dies down and is no longer as popular they stop following it too. They only joined in because they wanted to be a part of something. Then you … Continue reading When it’s no longer trendy
