Guilt is the worst feeling I have ever felt. It destroys you from the inside. And it takes time to fade away.
I never knew that. That it would overwhelm me, again. Revert to some kiddish state.

I recently fell in love with poetry.
I signed up for the #29029 Everest Challenge to challenge my soul, push my physical — mental — emotional limits and to connect with extraordinary people.
I’m beyond thankful to report that I did all 3.
These are the steps I would follow, if I want to improve something. This is not a definitive…
Why, oh why, do men with that much money act like thirsty losers?

You came into my life, for what I thought would be for a moment because when you arrived I was in my moment. You were there to tell me that it was okay, that we were the same and that I needed you to get through it. You told me it was normal and that it would wane. You told me it was temporary and…
Last Sunday started with another MAD event, although weekend MAD events have become more of an amazing ritual nowadays.
It was, at its core, a session on leadership qualities. Although the sessions on giving proper feedback and “letting it go” were…
Strictly Curious Newsletter №30
Good morning and Happy Monday! Hope yours is going well :)
I am grateful for today.
The average human being (yes, that’s you) should be able to handle small amounts of distress.
There are many situations in life when we don’t get our due. People are often judged, punished and blamed for no fault of theirs. Blames, arguments, debates are a part and parcel of our lives. No one can escape them. Nor can…

My (Almost) Encounter with Mr. Annoyed
Something happened today that made me think about where we are as a society, yes, but it also really made me take a look at myself. It made me think of who I used to be and who I am now. So, here goes, I was at one of my favorite stores, the Family Dollar. It’s close to my house, it’s…
I don’t need time. What I need is a deadline.

This was shared by Tim Ferris in his Five Bullet Friday. This makes a lot of sense to me. Do you remember the last time you completed a task that had a definitive…
Environment is your own place to play. Nature is your comfort zone. Hiding behind of tall trees. Lying in the middle of grasses. It’s another renewal of your youth. A fertility to explore inexperience things. As your journey goes on, you met the generosity of hands. And finding why the heart is attached with envy…
Winter will be here before you know it. Often times, this season can create sadness and mild depression in some people. This is why, it’s a perfectly good time to talk about taking charge of your happiness. In this ever-changing world sadness…

All of this energy in the heavens and stars is most definitely having an effect on many of us. I am still absorbing all of this energy and integrating into my system. Lots of change coming, globally and personally.

I’m sitting in a local coffee shop. I’m walking downtown. I’m browsing social media. I’m waiting for hot yoga to start. It’s late 2017, and I’m concerned.

Self-Discipline and Responsibility. Just by looking at the title of Chapter 3, you can infer that both are positively correlated, obviously. The more disciplined you are, the more responsible — on the reverse, the more responsibilities you have, the more discipline you need to…

近期和好幾位中小企客戶接觸，因為這兩年的營商環境比較惡劣，他們都面對一些困境，其實中小企業面對最大的問題是如何轉型與大趨勢接軌，大部份中小企創業家本身都是那個行業的翹楚，有很豐富的行業知識，看到有機會便開展自己的生意，然後不斷擴展，但他們最大的問題是本身沒有正統的管理培訓，很多時遇到機會便過度擴張，沒有留意大環境的趨勢，由開始時滿足到客戶的需求，到過度擴張時便失去方向。

What now?!
What will you do now?
Your life is what it is. Period.
No complaining, no adjusting the reality, no lying, no hiding and no closing your eyes and wishing it to go away will change that!!
When you wake up, do you even think about what you do? Most people act on autopilot.
How many times have you woken up, then “quickly” checked your phone, then ended down a rat hole of email, news, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, etc. ?

The first question God ever asked Adam…the first question God ever asked humanity. It may seem simple….since Adam was hiding away in shame. But really….God knows all, he sees all and truly, he already knew Where Adam and Eve physically were hiding, didn’t He?
Lakshmi I enjoyed reading it. The bonus illustrations made it more fun. Now, time to look for that friend to make me realize if the house we’re about to purchase is a good buy from their POV.

Great work and look forward to reading more Robin. Real-talk is so important and I loved your vulnerability here. One of the most powerful things we get when we share our stories with others is realizing that we’re not alone and we don’t have to be alone in our journeys. Having that support is not only nice and encouraging, but it’s really key to helping us truly go after what we really want.
Not quite what you expect to hear right? Let me explain this realization…
Women are some of the bravest strongest people in the world. They have potential. They are capable. They are the keepers of the culture. They are superheroes. They are magic. And I believe in them.
I do believe in them.
Hey Jan Lindner, I do see the film first a lot of the time — probably because it’s more convenient and faster to do so. If I really like the film and the story behind it, then there’s a good chance I’ll check out the book that it’s based on.
So even though television and books can be two seemingly opposing mediums, they can…
True enough, for sure, Tiffany. Our bodies need to heal and rebuild and recover from being worked, especially to the point of failure. That is a completely normal cycle that is often overlooked by crazy fitness people. You really can’t go on and on without a chance to recover.
It’s a term you’ve either used before or have heard used before. Usually when it’s uttered it’s in reference to something cool, like be bold or be more creative. Now let’s get something clear, I’m all about being bold, being creative and being cool. I also definitely have prescribed to the…

Sometimes he drives me crazy and I tell myself that I’m never going to talk to him ever again. Two hours later, I’m laughing at his jokes and enjoying a conversation that lasts hours. Always manages to restore a smile on my face.
This is a great reminder to be true to ourselves. When we become true to ourselves, that’s when we develop the courage to be true to others too.
Crying is weird.
The idea that your internal emotions make you physically drip from your eyes is overwhelmingly odd to me that when I do cry it can sometimes make me angry. I haven’t cried in so long so when I cried randomly today while I was looking at myself in the mirror this morning I…
The dark side of Thaler’s insights lies in the fact that governments are using the nudge principle to achieve what they see to be socially positive and right-minded policy objectives. While awareness may prevent us from being sucked in by manipulative advertisers, government mind control, no matter how well intentioned, constrains the exercise of our…
Time to change. I know some people has their plan to change. Some has their own goals in life which they think it’ll bring them high and will make people to see them different. And I think, i’m one of them. I really want to change. Change my daily routines, my hobbies, my personality, my looks and what so ever. I don’t really know the reason. Maybe…
