You don’t have to be productive all the time

The truth is you’re still productive when you’re resting. Self-care or personal care is productive for our soul. For me, I long to be willing, to be molded by the loss I feel from my wife’s death and the grace with which she lived her life. I feel sadness that I will never see her smile again or feel her strong, tender hands on my back. And I also feel […]

 

Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’

Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along. Obstacles can’t stop you. Problems can’t stop you. Most of all, other people can’t stop you. Only you can stop you. You can’t hit a home run unless you step up to the plate. You can’t catch a fish unless you put your line in […]

 

Sharpen your appearance.

Looking sharp at work is essential. It can give you a leg up on the competition, make you feel more confident, and help you make a good impression on clients and customers. The career that you choose has to match your look. For example, if you manage to cinch a management then you’ll dress the part in suits and dress shoes.

Rejection in life never ends: professionally, romantically, & friendship wise.

Today, thanks to electronic communications, social media platforms and dating apps, each of us is connected to thousands of people, any of whom might ignore our posts, chats, texts, or dating profiles and leave us feeling rejected as a […]

 

It’s natural to trust, and unnatural to be mistrusting.

In order for two people to have a deeply satisfying relationship, both have to be able to open themselves up to the other. But if you don’t trust the other person (or vice-versa), making yourself vulnerable to him or her feels a bit like exposing your neck to a hungry wolf. It doesn’t make sense, and it’ll most likely lead to pain and regret. Even little things in the heat […]

 

Don’t trade your AUTHENTICITY for approval.

People are trying too hard to fit in and then they are really sacrificing the real emotions they are feeling, or the thoughts they are thinking. They are trying too hard to fit in and be liked rather than say what’s really on their mind. They are trading their authenticity for the approval of others.
