An expectation is a resentment under construction
At first, it didn't quite make sense to me. But then, one day, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was drowning in pain, and it finally clicked that my expectations were at the root of all my resentments.
I had no idea, but these unmet expectations had been weighing me down, causing me frustration, pain and disappointment.
From that point forward, I made a conscious effort to let go of unrealistic expectations. I could embrace acceptance and gratitude (even begrudgingly) for what life had to…
A Simple Pivot
Today, I want to remind you of the incredible power that lies within a simple pivot.
Life has a funny way of throwing unexpected challenges our way. Sometimes, it may feel like we're stuck in a rut or facing a complete dead-end. But here's the beautiful truth: we can always pivot.

That's a powerful message for a little boy, but I missed the memo, I wa…

Daniel didn't understand...

Busy Isn't Better
In our fast-paced modern world, it's no surprise that many of us feel constantly busy. But here's the thing: being busy doesn't automatically mean being productive.

But fear not, my friend, because there's a way out of this trap. It starts with bein…
Disease To Please
Do you have the urge to help others, even when it costs you your time, your energy, your money...?
Have you heard of 'opportunity cost'?
Opportunity cost is defined as what you'll lose out on... what it'll cost you to pursue something... e.g. time, money, relationships... etc.
It's a very important thing to consider when you're deciding if you're willing to please someone... because you also need to know if you're willing to pay the price.
