I am a firm believer in the idea that we can chart our own paths and the environment we were born into doesn’t have to define who we are. But there is something to be said for our experiences when we are children and how we perceive the world. Like sponges, kids absorb all the experiences they have when growing up. They are easily shaped by these beliefs. For example, if you were told that

Our comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there. We find comfort in our daily routines, relationships and how our life is simply because it is what we know. It is our safe space, where we feel comfortable with who we are and how we have created our life. The problem is, by staying in that same place not challenging ourselves, we stagnate. We stay where we are because we are scared

When we are desperate, we will try anything, even if is unlikely to work. But sometimes, it is in our darkest times that when we have nothing left to lose, that we take a shot and win. Sometimes, that sliver of hope is all you need. When you feel like giving up, remember this: You haven’t come this far, to only come this far.

Sometimes a good idea, or new way of thinking can take root and flourish – it just takes time. Creation of any idea starts with a single

I’ve probably said this a thousand times – Our time here, on this planet, is limited. We don’t know when our time will be up. Yet we often put things off or wait for the “perfect” moment to make our move. If we don’t know how many trips we have around the sun, why are we waiting? What life event must happen to us to push us out of our comfort zone and finally take

Often times we get lost in our own lives – whether it’s our own struggles, dramas or even happiness. We forget that we here as part of something much bigger. I believe we are all here for a reason, for a purpose. When you think about it, every encounter we have with others, has the potential to change their life…You see, we are all connected. And I know this sounds dramatic, but let me tell

Sometimes when we look in front of us and see all the hard work and time that is involved in getting to where we want to be, we can feel daunted.
