Contentment is empowering. I underrated it for years. Partially because I couldn’t reconcile it with faith. I saw contentment as letting go of desiring a better future. And without desire, what is faith? Then I realized that contentment was one of those secret weapons to the best life that I was missing. Now it is […]

The law teaches love. We were created for love. But since we so easily forget what love is, God laid down the law as a guide to teach us what love looks like. Yet so often that is not how we use the law. In today’s world, we often hear statements like: “just love one […]

Whenever we start living intentionally, we will also start experiencing obstacles and setbacks. And my favourite thing to say becomes: “So What?” Let me elaborate on that. I don’t mean “so what” in the careless sense. I mean “so what” in the sense that, it doesn’t matter, I will still continue to live intentionally. When […]

When you are living intentionally and reaching for your best life, it is a safe bet that you will face plenty of […]

In the last month, I have found myself praying bold prayers. Specific prayers. Prayers where you know whether they get answered or not. Praying bold prayers like that is hard. It is easy to quickly blurt out a specific prayer when you are alone and you are not sure you really mean it. But then, […]

All my life I kept hearing that everybody should keep a journal. And more than once, I resolved to give it a try. But every time, journaling with consistency eluded me. Everywhere I turned, people were telling me that journaling was one of those habits of highly successful people. Even though everybody kept telling me […]

The journey to your best life may well weave. Learning is part of the process. We can’t go far in life, advance very highly, without failure. And failure always puts a crook in our path.
