Many times in life, we are faced with the difficult decision of whether we can trust somebody or not. Some people trust quite easily. Others are guarded and rarely trust others, securing themselves in an imagined box. My rule is to build up trust in blocks.

“You will never truly know yourself or the strength of your relationships until both have been tested by adversity.” – J.K.

When you’re feeling down and blue, the best person to turn to is yourself. You can be your own best friend in times of trouble. It requires you to practice self-care and self-love. In a sense, it requires you to be selfish, but in a compassionate and loving way. When you take care of yourself, you are outwardly showing that you want to receive happiness and love in return.

Everyone experiences ups and downs in life. What separates fulfilled people from unfulfilled people is the determination to never give up. It is the commitment to doing a little better than the day before. And even when we are feeling down or get sick in the process, we navigate around it (e.g. taking medicine or drinking soup when you’re sick) and get back up again. Life is what you make out of it. Never givingread more
Work can be boring sometimes. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. Especially if you decide to go the entrepreneurial path, it can be lots of fun. You can combine play with work if you create a lifestyle first and work second. When you create a lifestyle first, you choose the activities that are most appealing to you. For example, nowadays, I like to do the following: blogging, uploading videos, producing music, and writingread more

I was at first tempted to buy into their program so that I could make money too. However within the few days that followed, I realized that this was not the path of a heart.read more
Have you ever progressed in a specific skill or talent, only to slide down in progress due to an unwanted break? I dabbled in and out of music several times. It’s not easy to get back into the swing of music production after you notice that you’re out of practice. Today, I posted a song cover of Impassive – Owol, but it wasn’t nearly the quality that I was hoping to get out of it.read more
