  • 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.

  • Nothing Lasts Forever—The Key to a Happier Life

    Life is constantly changing—nothing lasts forever. Feelings, experiences, relationships, business, and even life itself come and go. The only constants are nature: the sun, waves, ocean, wind, and rain. The Wisdom of Change One day, my father told me, “Change is inevitable. Everything fades.” This truth applies to everything: Accepting impermanence helps me live in […]

  • The Harmful Effects of Misinformation: A Personal Experience

    Misinformation can have a significant impact on relationships and mental well-being. A few years ago, a friend advised me that staying silent during disagreements had improved her relationships.
