Good leaders have great vision
I don’t think about leadership or being a leader. What’s the point and purpose in leading someone? There must be a greater purpose to leadership other than a title to boss people around. Because, that is not true leadership; that is autocracy. There is a difference. Good leaders are also excellent individual contributors. They know…

Finding Peace: Embracing Flaws and Accepting Life’s Imperfections
I’d like to preface this question by saying that peace was not an overnight acquisition. It took alot of stormy days and nights in order for me to even understand the preciousness of peace.

The power of human connection.
“Everybody has a story” This is the essence of the human connection. The shared experience and relatability. At the core of my blog, I want the reader/ a reader to experience the “human connection”.

Life: Remembering the simpler times
I do remember life before the internet, but that will also mean I am admitting that I am old. Well I kinda am. I am the generation where dial up internet was a real thing. Where we had to wait ages for the internet page to load up and the pixelation was all blocky. AOL…

What would you do, if you knew that your relationship has run its course? Would you continue, because it is easier? Or would you risk it for something unknown, that could possibly be great for the soul?

Why do people with kids, go to venues (only) to get away from their kids?
This sort of daily prompt questions, where you ask someone, the first thing that comes to their minds? What a salacious question to ask? But I am … daft enough to enter this domain. So here is my response.

Learning to set boundaries early. It sets you free from feelings of anguish
Saying no is hard, but resentment is much harder to reconcile with yourself when you constantly allow others to constantly cross them. If we want to be comfortable in our own skin, we are going to have to learn to do a little hard to begin with.

A person who has the ability to suspend judgment is Unique because …
A person who has the ability to suspend their personal prejudice to seek understanding of another person’s view is a rare commodity. Here’s why?

What’s something most people don’t understand?
That kindness and empathy does not come for free. Someone had to go through darkness, pushing through their own fears and insecurities, to come out the other side in one piece. For words are cheap and goodwill actions are the true character of a person whose character got broken down by life, in order for…

Which animal would you compare yourself to, and why?
A bird. Specifically a parrotlet. Too curious for my own good and find myself in situations that a prudent person would know to steer clear of. So let me give you a brief back story. The photo is my pet bird Otis (the blue one) and he is far too curious for his own good,…

What experience helped me grow the most?

To know that there are people who have been hard and gone through their own trials to know that – sometimes, another human needs a helping hand without (potentially) benefitting from you. This is grace, I don’t…

The body does not truly forget about the past. ___________________________ I come from a culture and country where keeping the peace is taken to the enth degree, putting the UN to shame.…

If I could be someone else for the day?
I don’t know, because I have spent so long searching for myself and who I am suppose to be in this ecosystem, that, given the amount of energy poured into that, I think I’d want to try to play the role of myself for a while? Maybe in another life time and in a different…

Stay present: Don’t worry about the past. And – The future is not here yet.
Stay present. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. The future doesn’t matter. It’s not even here yet. Why worry about something that is in the distant future? Does the God of this earth even look that far ahead? Or is it just me wanting to play a bad form of the deity? Why add more worries to…
