The movies we play in our heads are meant to happen to us

It is the life that we can live - if we do the thing we have always said we'll do.

Patience is your superpower

Patience isn't passive waiting - it's active persistence. It's the quiet strength that keeps us moving forward when everything else suggests we should stop.

Failing does not make you a failure

Failing is one of the things that people fear the most. Some people go to the extent of not trying at all just because they are afraid of failing. Many people think failing is a disgrace, a stain on their glorious lives. But in the long run, failing is an

Life is a non-fiction

I grew up watching TV shows about adulthood. Shows like How I Met Your Mother, F.R.I.E.N.D.S, and Glee, taught me what being an adult should look like. Each episode followed a neat storytelling arc: problem appears, characters struggle, resolution emerges, and everyone learns a

Big fish in a small pond, or…

In 2020, I was leaving my job. Upon handing in my resignation, my soon-to-be ex-boss tried to convince me to stay. He asked me this question: You are a big fish in a small pond here, while over there, it’s the opposite. Which do you want to be? A

Being present in the digital world

We live in a peculiar time. Our phones have become extensions of ourselves, windows to an endless stream of content. And the irony is striking: We're more connected than ever, yet increasingly disconnected from the present moment. Our attention has become a valuable currency, and we're

Too many excuses

For around eight years, I've dreamed of creating and sharing my art with the world. But for just as long, I've been holding myself back with excuses. I want to share my experience and the lessons I've learned along the way until I decided

Creating yourself

You're not searching for a hidden treasure; you're sculpting a masterpiece, and you're both the artist and the art.

Believing in my own lies

What lie have you been telling yourself? What amazing things might happen if you choose to believe in your potential instead?

Inside of you

The lifeline you're seeking? It's been within you all along. You are the only person who can save yourself.

The perfectionist’s prison

Perfectionism was my shield, a way to protect myself from criticism and disappointment. But in reality, it was a prison of my own making.

Within the things we don’t appreciate

In the end, the joy of living – and of life itself – lies not just in the big moments of discovery but in the willingness to keep looking, to stay curious, and to find wonder in the everyday.

Embracing the embarrassing beginnings

Every expert you admire once created something that made them want to hide under a rock. The difference? They pushed through it.

Why do we need "closure" before we "begin?"

Remember, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now. So why wait?

Making the most of your time

I've learned that time is not just money or productivity. It is life itself, in all its beautiful, messy complexity.

Looking through the magnifying glass

Sometimes, we get so caught up in the small details that we miss the bigger picture. Other times, we're so focused on the grand plan that we forget to enjoy the little things.

You're alive, but are you living?

I didn't know where to go or what I wanted to do with my life. All I knew with absolute certainty was that I didn't want to feel this way anymore.

The many homes we lived in

The most enduring and reliable home is the one I've built within myself. It's a home that I can always return to, no matter where life takes me.

Where does it start and end?

We can't choose where we started. But we can do two things: change our mindset about the journey and decide where we will end up.

Like a frog in a well

Don't let the imaginary ceilings of your past dictate the heights you can reach in your future.

Understanding purpose

Break the pattern, or the loop will repeat.

The good old days are now

Your life isn't going anywhere. It's going exactly where you are right now. And that's a beautiful place to be.

The many faces we wear

Our lives are like a tapestry, with all these different roles we play. At home, you might be a parent, taking care of your kids. You're also a spouse to your partner and a child to your parents. Step into your workplace, and the masks shift. You become

How to make time

Because I said "yes" to everything, everything became important. There were no priorities.

We're all on the same boat

As we age, I realize one thing: none of us are truly okay. We all have our problems and challenges in life, and it is up to us to take care of them.
