If you've got something to say, then say it. And if there's something you want to do, you may as well do it. You only have to look at the current events whether on social media or on the TV to be reminded that sometimes you won't get the chance to do the thing you've … Continue reading You might not get tomorrow

A man, his hat and my bubble
There I was on a Tuesday morning on my usual commute to work engrossed in my phone, writing a blog post with my headphones in. That's how I often spend my journey to and from work engrossed in my thoughts, my phone or looking out of the window. But one day a man's hat fell … Continue reading A man, his hat and my bubble
Quitting
If you feel discouraged with where you're at you have two options. The first is to quit and the second is to stick at it. Whichever option you choose commit to it wholeheartedly.

You come up with excuses like: I won't be good at it. People will laugh. Someone else would be better suited. I'll … Continue reading Scary but worth it
The art of the gift
Currently reading linchpin by Seth Godin and learning a whole lot. I've been thinking a lot about the art of gift giving lately. Not in terms of a birthday or Christmas gifts but in daily life. The small or grand acts of generosity like saying good morning with a genuine smile or offering to help … Continue reading The art of the gift
To envy and to aspire
People often complain about their life circumstances and how if only they weren't working class, their parents were born in the western world, they grew up in a better area etc. In some ways they envy the opportunities that more 'privileged' people have had in life. They may think it's not fair that others have … Continue reading To envy and to aspire
