Much is said about finding your passion these days. Most of what is said though, leaves me a bit lost. So what is the real process of finding your passion in life? Again, the advice becomes a bit unrealistic. It asks you to take personality tests and find out what you enjoy reading about and […]

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 […]

Making the most out of summer can be challenging when it dances by at lightning speed. They say that when you feel like time is flying, it means you are getting old. I prefer another explanation! I believe that the bigger the goals you are reaching for, the faster time seems to fly. So if […]

Living the best life is far more realistic than living the dream life. The best life takes into consideration your real life situations and redeems them and builds on those impossibilities.

Redefining success allows us to see that true success is not about your circumstances. It is not about what you have or do not have. It is not about what you have or have not experienced either. True success is about who you are. If you are like me, it is very difficult to detach […]

Sometimes in life, it is necessary to confront others. The spirit of effective confrontation is built on a few truths. They build courage for the confrontation when they are needed too. First off, do we always confront someone that offends us. Personally I would say no. In fact rarely. Most of the time, I just […]

Who holds the keys to your peace? A mature person that recognises that the battle isn’t against flesh and blood, realises that another person doesn’t hold the keys to their peace or lack of it. Or joy for that matter. What they do only has the power to rub you of joy and peace if […]
