What’s the use in rigid plans?
In the past few months I've experienced various unexpected change. And in turn, I've had to change my plans. The specific things I thought I'd be doing haven't happened in the ways I thought they would. They've happened in new ways. If I'd kept my plans rigid, I'd have probably missed out on new opportunities … Continue reading What’s the use in rigid plans?

What you want doesnt have to stay the same. Sometimes when we've been set on something for so long, even after we realise we something else we stick with the old plan. This is because it feels risky to change and we put so much pressure on ourselves to have things worked out. The result … Continue reading Dreams change

New years resolution have garnered a bad reputation for being unreliable and not living up to their expectations.

We call it something else … Continue reading By any other name
