How Far Can Patience Go?
I went into something thinking I would be happy. I thought I was going to be with someone who I could grow with, who would inspire me and who could pick me up when I fall. In the same way, I would be there for him. I did not want anything except compassion, care — and as cheesy as it sounds — love. I…
I just became debt-free. Here’s a transparent account of the figures and struggles.

【原來，倫敦金幕後主腦就係……佢！】
「倫敦金騙案」係香港由來已久。一直有金銀業既得利益人士阻撈，香港政府從來採取不插手、不規管態度。充其量係「警訊」度呼籲大家要小心，市民仍去幫襯，就各安天命。

I’ve read many resumes where students say “I was born to do marketing” or “marketing is my passion” or “I live and breathe marketing”.
They can make you so happy but also so sad. When a relationship gets to the point where one person begins to realize that they’re losing themselves or that they just need time to figure things out on their end — things become so different and much harder. You know what’s so funny, I…
Being Haunted
This week has been a challenge. Migraines throbbing and emotions bubbling all over themselves.
Yesterday I was presented with an idea that is something I’ve thought a lot about in life. Something I’m excited to try, yet when it became a potential reality, it ripped open old wounds and…

A lot of writers tell you that you need to read every day to become a better writer.
And it makes a lot of sense. At least for them.
Because the more you read, the more of their books you’ll end up buying.
Tremendous post Teresa. Having just had another child and my wife and I having exactly zero time together it is very important to give that quick shoulder rub or prepare a hot bath if even for 10 minutes to remind each other. Lucky I too have someone who sees it has to go both ways as well.

The world is full of propaganda and advertising! Many of the things that are being pedaled are being promoted by the use of sex, or on the false premise that this product will make us more attractive, popular, healthy or wealthy.

I’M THE WAY!
There are times I find that our journey is strange. The walk is like unto a wilderness. Like a dry desert walk. And we must admit for other times, quite flourishing and refreshing. But for the desert walk we find that:
We are all reluctant to change in some way. We tend to think of the worst possible outcomes. “What if I’m let go?” “What if I dont…
Reminds me of when I was sent to Madrid by Shell for 3 months to learn Spanish. Shell was a great employer my expense allowance was equal to the salary of a Spanish general. I decided that I needed practice and that meant girls much nicer than men. I dated 15 girls in the 3 months. Hard work but no hardship. 14 Spanish girls and one from Manila.
I know you are sad
There was a time when I used to read a lot about how to increase work productivity, used to download ten different productivity apps like calendars, tasks-manager on mobile and become, ironically, less productive than I was. It took me sometime to get over 10 ways to be more productive kind of…

Thank you. I know this but sometimes, damn time has come to a halt. This is the first time I’ve experienced so much fatigue. Usually I experience insomnia for weeks at a time. I’m focusing on gratitude. My body is allowing me to rest.

Hi there! It’s been a while, so this time I decided I wanted to make a review of the year. I know people use to do this by the end of the year actually, but to me this season had been quite important.
Knowing there are no mistakes removes the burden from having to strive to make things happen. You learn to let go of frustration, disappointment, anger and anxiety to trust all will be worked out for your greatest good when the time is right. Universal timing affirms there…
What’s helped me a lot to keep the momentum even during the super stressful times of growing a company is always making sure I workout 3 times a week, attend one event outside of my field and spend time with at least 1 family member or friend. Those consistent habits help balance me during the peaks in stress and keep me going.

Stop spending time thinking about what differentiates you from others and start thinking about what connects you to others. Simple really. Everyone is encouraged to write down their own strengths and goals etc but fuck up the end game of actually thinking about how that fits into the bigger picture aka improving the community.

Most of my teen years I have been avoiding difficult conversations because of my ego and easy-going nature. After losing, breaking, and mending relationships I have learned my 3 golden lessons. Countless loses, 1 revived relationship, and 1 in process of rebuilding.
I went through a very difficult time removing several toxic people in my world once I started to shift my life from depression to real happiness. Let’s just say a few people came at me for being an openly bisexual polyamorous atheist, others just faded away. This is what I wrote to cope…

I have not freed my brain to think romantically right now, and for a while now. For a long while.
4am seems to be the time my eyes shut rather than open recently, but today is different. I slept well for the first time in I don’t know how long, which usually does not accompany big changes in my life, but today is different.
My name is Claudia and I have a confession to make. I’m a chronic people pleaser, an obliger, a yes person, which has cost me dearly over the years. Avoiding saying No has led to disappointment and distress to me and those I love by prioritising other people’s needs above my own, causing me to spend money and time I don’t have, and to stay in bad…

Or it will die. We (as humanity) have become increasingly less compassionate and tolerant towards others. This is a “dog eat dog” world, where you’ve got to get where you want to go, without caring about who gets trampled along the way. This is the philosophy now. Things that I would take…
Thank you, Randy for always cheering me on. It means more to me than I can ever express in words.
I write in hopes those who cannot express their experiences hear me, so they know I am here and my voice speaks for all of us.
The time we make a decision is a sacred time. And we should value it more by staying more in that moment. I am a guy who lets his brain boil from pondering, but I got better overtime. If I let intuition do the job more times now, I would be in a different place. Reasoning too much can be damaging in the end, but on the other hand, another good part…

It’s a running joke between my friends and family that I have FOMO, the fear of missing out. I like to be at every event and the life of the party. However, it’s time that I take a step back and realize that this just isn’t possible. There was a time where I would give up shifts, just to sit around and play…

I’m getting married next month to a med student, so I know, first hand, how hard it is. You sound like someone who loves what she does. And when you love something, you always push harder to master it and be good at it.
Nobody is going to do your marketing.

I gotta agree. Eric Berne listed “Ain’t it awful?” as one of the games in his book, Games People Play. His idea was that we played games like “Ain’t it awful?” because it gave us a way to engage in social exchanges without truly sharing ourselves. Games are a substitute (a sorry one) for intimacy, according to Berne.
Yesterday was my first day working in Berlin. The day ended like it started: incomplete.

I had a wake-up call yesterday thanks to one of my students that came to a BSU meeting. She made me realize that I wasn’t craving enough knowledge.
