My writing space. A blog, if you will, on what I learn from the school of life.

Playful Approach

30/10/2023

 
​What if everything were a game? What if we decided to play along with everyone else, regardless of the outcomes? And what if, despite our initial struggles, we fell in love with the game and it led us to something we never imagined we'd enjoy?

Games are fun. So, treat what you do as a game or as a contribution worth your time and effort.

Stay inspired. Keep inspiring.

Finding Energy

29/10/2023

 
​There are days when you need an extra boost to match the energy the day demands. If your heart is full, savor that coffee lift. And recall what filled your heart to begin with. Cherish it. Love it. Give it your all.

Stay inspired. Keep inspiring.

Weaving Time

28/10/2023

 
It's easier said than done to leave the past behind and live in the present, especially when cherished memories linger. Sometimes, these memories sustain us, nourishing our souls in the present and enabling us to forge ahead.

The past and present are deeply intertwined. Yet, just as progressing forward is natural, so should be our capacity to weave in the future.

Welcoming the Additional Stops

27/10/2023

 
​Before reaching your final destination, expect some additional stops. They might simply offer a moment to slow down and observe. These pauses provide an ideal opportunity to course-correct or take a breath.

Instead of feeling irritated, embrace the change of pace.

The Balance of Now and Next

26/10/2023

 
​Focusing on the present is challenging when planning or preparing for the future. However, preparation is half the task of readiness.

It's another catch in life - to pause and live in the moment, or to juggle both and find happiness at every stage, knowing everything is perfect as it stands.

Stay inspired. Keep inspiring.

Universal Connection

25/10/2023

 
Foreign landscapes can feel like home when you connect with your surroundings. When you accept them as a natural part of you, because you belong to this world and all it encompasses.

Whether foreign or familiar, it's all part of our one and only home.

Stay inspired. Keep inspiring.

The Brave Type

24/10/2023

 
​When you encounter your limits, do you bravely charge forward or take a step back?

Asking for a friend...

If you're the brave type, what do you tell yourself before diving into the unknown? Before experiencing something unprecedented in your life story.

It must feel amazing to be brave. How would the rest of us know...

Stay inspired. Keep inspiring.

Embracing Seconds

23/10/2023

 
Moments turn into memories so quickly that we often don't even realise it. If every moment could become a core memory, should we strive to make each one count? 

Or is this the essence of life — navigating through moments, uncertain about which ones will remain etched in our memory? As if every moment isn't already invaluable.

Stay inspired. Keep inspiring.

Probing Change: the Whys and the Whats

22/10/2023

 
​Why do you suddenly want to change? What agent of change has provoked you?

What does this mean in the long term? What benefits or obstacles might arise upon entering this new phase?

What will this commitment require from you, and are you prepared for that toll?

Stay inspired. Keep inspiring.

Idea Selection: A Strength in the Abundance of Creativity

21/10/2023

 
It seems that when we have to think of an idea on the fly, they all escape us. But if we give ourselves time, or create a system to capture them when they come, we end up with plenty.

So how do we choose?

Establishing rules around the outcomes usually helps. Make sure that you act with peace of mind that the idea may not succeed or that you may change your mind in the process.

Your act of choosing demonstrates strength.

Stay inspired. Keep inspiring.
