Some people go on their entire lives thinking that being different is something bad. They think that by not being themselves and by desperately trying to fit into society’s norms, they are doing themselves and the world a favor. But they are not. As long as you feel content with yourself and you are openContinue reading “Why Fit In When You Were Born To Stand Out?”

Our Children, Our Future
One of my favourite songs from the eighties is “The Greatest Love of All,” the mega hit by Whitney Houston. When I consider why I like this song so much, it’s the first line of the lyrics that just grabs me right away, “I believe the children are our future.” At about 35, most adultsContinue reading “Our Children, Our Future”
Who Supports Your Dreams?
All of us have dreams and passions. Many of us are too scared to even take a step towards making our dreams a reality. And the road isn’t easy for the few brave souls who pursue their passions.

Everything Happens for a Reason
Throughout my life, I have consistently heard the phrase “everything happens for a reason”. Sometimes, it’s said because something bad happened, and it’s supposed to be comforting.

Character: How You Treat Others?
Growing up, I was taught you treated everyone the same. It didn’t matter if they were the bank president or the peon —they all were treated with the same level of respect. Not everyone was raised that way, however, and there’s enough rude people in the world as evidence to that fact. I read onceContinue reading “Character: How You Treat Others?”
I Don’t Need to Impress Anyone
I’m at a point in my life where I don’t need to impress anyone anymore. I am who I am without caring what others think of me. I don’t need costumes, I don’t need to trick anyone or pretend. Because I can be who I really am. I don’t need to laugh and make people believe IContinue reading “I Don’t Need to Impress Anyone”
Nothing is Impossible
I think there is nothing impossible in this world, and you would never find it in the dictionary of a successful person. Impossible is the word mostly said by unsuccessful people, who don’t have the courage to do something remarkable in their life. The more you think about “Impossible”, the stronger and larger it becomes.Continue reading “Nothing is Impossible”
Self-Care is NOT being Selfish
Do you find yourself striving to have it all, do it all and be everything to everyone? If so, you know that it comes at a cost: It’s easy to lose sight of yourself in the process.
