Sometimes the life paths we choose end up getting distorted by distractions and we end up making choices to reach goals that we don't even really aspire to. You might find that in order to move forwards, you actually need to go back and figure out what you really wanted in the first place. Many … Continue reading Remembering the dream

Setting boundaries badly
I think a big reason why we sometimes avoid setting boundaries is because we think don't know how to do it. However, it turns out the setting boundaries is like everything else, getting good takes practice. And so like Zig Ziglar said 'anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you can learn to do … Continue reading Setting boundaries badly
Another point of view
Sometimes when you encounter an issue you only look at it from your perspective. You focus on how you feel, how you've been treated and you can end up playing the victim (often unknowingly). Sometimes we take the position of the victim because we want to be coddled and we want to be saved but … Continue reading Another point of view
Value in the workplace
When you go to work, you want to feel like you're of value. Perhaps not to the point where the whole place would fall apart without you but at least like what you contribute each day matters. When a person wakes up, gets ready and goes to work, if they feel like they don't need … Continue reading Value in the workplace
Outcome based actions
If you want someone to trust you then getting angry when they try to open up won't help. It is so important that what you do reflects the way you want things to turn out, otherwise what's the point? You can't just go around doing whatever you want and expecting or hoping that everything will … Continue reading Outcome based actions

Sometimes it goes as far as you formulating a question in order to hear a specific answer, like prasie or a compliment. And sometimes it comes from a place of vanity but other times perhaps … Continue reading Asking the right questions
Everything could be different

But, I like to believe that as wonderful and perfect as things might be right now, everything could be different … Continue reading Everything could be different
Open to change
Sometimes in life you can be so set on knowing yourself and figuring out who you are that you don't leave room for flexibility. I think it's important to find the balance between knowing yourself, whilst still remaining open to new things. You don't want to end up being rigid. However, the reason we close … Continue reading Open to change
Taking a break
It might not be what you want to do but perhaps it is exactly what you need right now. So often instead of taking regular breaks, we wait until the point of exhaustion to finally slow down and rest. Perhaps you've convinced yourself that you need to work hard in order to rest or reach … Continue reading Taking a break
A fresh start is a mindset not an action
When you think of a fresh start, what comes to mind? A new city, a new stage in education, a new country, a new relationship, a new job, a promotion or a new home. As much as those things are the beginning of new chapters in our lives, they don't necessarily mark a fresh start. … Continue reading A fresh start is a mindset not an action
