If you had to give one life-changing tip, what would it be? If I had to give just one life-changing piece of advice, it would be this: “No one is coming to save you”. At first, those words may sound harsh. Maybe even discouraging. But with time, I have come to realize that they can actually be incredibly empowering. There comes a point in life when you have to stop waiting for someone to come…

Do you think everything happens for a reason? Everything happens for a reason Someday everything will make perfect sense, but for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, be strong, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason— John Mayer Maya Angelo once said that “when one door closes, another opens, but oftentimes we stare so long at the closed door that we…

Your thoughts are the water; choose where you water We’ve all been there. Scrolling through social media, watching someone else’s life unfold in perfectly filtered pictures. Seeing a colleague get the promotion we wanted. Hearing about a friend who seems to have found love, success, or happiness with effortless ease. From where we stand, their side always looks greener. But what if the grass…

Have you ever felt like you wanted to be more because you wanted to be more? Have you ever felt like there is more to life than what we actually think it is? We all have a big dream growing up, and what we actually want to become in life So when asked…

What’s a promise you made to yourself that you’ve actually kept? All my life, I have always wanted more, and I wanted to be more for myself and make my family proud. There is this inner voice that always whispers to me “You need to do more” “You need to keep pushing “You can’t give up” And each time, I repeat them consciously and affirm that so shall it be. Leaving my comfort zone was…

What app eats up most of your screen time — and do you even feel bad about it? Let me confess something. There is an app that has been shamelessly eating up my screen time. It doesn’t knock on my door. It doesn’t ask for permission. It simply waits patiently for me to pick up my phone, and before I know it, I’ve spent another considerable amount of time navigating through it. And the funny…

There are some lessons in life that success can never teach you. Success can teach you confidence. It can teach you discipline, ambition, and the satisfaction that comes from seeing your hard work finally pay off. It can show you what you are capable of achieving. But pain teaches something different. Pain strips away the things you thought were important and forces you to look at life…

What is the best excuse you have heard lately? I think the best excuses are also the funniest ones. For someone to be able to navigate the best excuse to give when they don’t meet a deadline, or are running late to an appointment or to work, is indeed difficult, but to say it in such a funny way brings out the humor part of them and makes the situation less edgy 😀 The best excuse that I have…

Have you ever said “yes” when every part of you wanted to say “no”? Maybe you agreed to help a friend even though you were exhausted.

Or perhaps you’ve spent so much time making everyone else happy that you’ve forgotten what truly makes you happy. Being kind is a beautiful quality. The world…

Which book have you read more than any other? This was the copy I got When it comes to a book that I have read more than others, or should I say more than once, or rather multiple times, then it would be Americana by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I got this book back then at Uni in 2014, and I read it every year because I love it so much. To me, it’s not just any book; it reminds me of who I am,…

What’s one habit that has improved your life the most? We often think that changing our lives requires one big breakthrough—a better job, more money, or a lucky opportunity. But the truth is, our lives are usually shaped by the small things we do consistently. When I look back at the habits that have had the greatest impact on my life, two stand out above all others: reading and learning to say…

What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it? There are some chapters in life we wish we could erase. Chapters so painful that even years later, reading them again brings tears to our eyes. If I had to give one chapter of my life a title, it would be “The Hard Years.” Those years began the day my brother passed away. His death was sudden and…

What’s a book you think deserves a sequel? Spell book with a wand Some books end so perfectly that you feel completely satisfied when you turn the last page. Others leave you with a lingering curiosity, making you wonder what happened after the final chapter. Those are the books that stay with us long after we’ve finished reading. When I think of a book that deserves a sequel, the very first…

Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic I started reading this book the secret the power by Rhonda Byrne again; this is the second time I’ve read it. I don’t know if it’s just me, or if it happens to anyone else, but every book I read, even if I have read it before, I will definitely learn something new.

Home is where peace lives If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Have you ever asked yourself, “If I could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?” It’s one of those questions that seems simple on the surface, but the more you think about it, the deeper it becomes.
