  • Habits That Transformed My Everyday Life #2

    People often ask how I manage to get so much done in a day. Honestly, it’s not about doing more — it’s about small habits that shape who I’ve become. Early mornings:Since I started waking up around 5 AM, my life has completely changed. I use that quiet time to study, write my journal, practise speeches, […]

  • How I Lifted Myself Up When I Felt Down

    Last week, I was feeling flat, irritated, and annoyed. So I asked myself a couple of simple questions: How do I feel right now? What’s affecting me? When I looked back at my routine, I realised I hadn’t written my gratitude list for a few days, and I also hadn’t connected with others. Those were […]

  • Two questions that saved a life (and mine too).

    While driving to work this morning, I asked myself: What’s the most important thing to focus on right now? My answer was clear: driving. 😉 Why is that? Because if I lose focus, I could cause an accident, get injured, or hurt someone else, and that would completely change my life. Sometimes I let my […]

  • One of my morning routines

    My body clock woke me up at 4:30 AM this morning. I enjoyed the freshness of the morning and followed a little habit I’ve built: asking myself, “What’s most important in my life right now?” This helped me focus on what truly matters and identify my top three priorities, guiding me to tackle the urgent and important tasks for the day. […]

  • You can change your life right now

    You are the one who decides how to live. Happiness or unhappiness isn’t something given to you, it’s something you choose for yourself. No matter what has happened in the past, you can’t change it but you can grow stronger from those experiences. People can change at any time, in any place, the moment they decide to. I know this because I chose […]

  • It’s My Mind, No One Can Control It

    I believe emotions are contagious. If someone near you is feeling down or stressed, it can affect your mood too. Last night, my partner was feeling down. I was tired and tried not to let it affect me, but as a human being, I couldn’t fully control my emotions. I ended up feeling low as […]

  • My Secret to Getting Up Early in the Morning

    My mum wakes up at 4:30 a.m. every day to attend her morning church service. That inspired me. Since 2019—when I started focusing on personal development (and when the pandemic began)—I decided to wake up around 5:00 a.m. too. Why? Because I noticed I’m more productive early in the morning. My brain works better, and […]

  • You Are What You Think

    I’d like to share an experience I had last night. It was a powerful reminder of how much our thoughts shape our feelings and behaviour. What Happened: Just before going to bed, a thought hit me:“I haven’t spoken to my parents for a few days. I should say hello.” So, I called them—but no answer. […]

  • What Happened When I Made a Decision in 2019

    In 2019, when the pandemic hit, my world—like many others’—slowed down. I stopped going to work, attending classes, going to the gym, and socialising. Life felt uncertain, but instead of turning to TV or movies all day (as some friends did), I made a different choice. I decided to focus on self-development. What I Committed […]

  • My Practical Tools for Overcoming Procrastination #2

    I’ve been using the first version of “My Practical Tools for Overcoming Procrastination” from my blog, and it has helped me a lot. Over time, I’ve discovered another key strategy that works for me—protecting my mood. Why Mood Matters I’ve learned that my emotional state plays a big role in whether I take action or […]
