My life only started to become better once I simplified.

Really, REALLY starting to cut things out from multiple email accounts, social media accounts (an identity crisis and an unwillingness to just show all parts of me - 10 youtube channels, facebook pages, instagram accounts all showing differen...

It sure feels strange when your own family questions your every move. Despite the complex feelings, standing your ground is key to building your own identity and life.

Just today, the day of my daughter's birthday party, a family member commented, "I'm shocked that this is how you're running a chil...

The small things you're saying to yourself day in and day out which you think don't matter, actually shape your future.

For example, when you make a few simple household mistakes in the day and if you say to yourself under your breath..."Sigh... I'm an idiot," and even if you smile after that like ...

In the end, real communication only happens when two people connect. To connect, you need to understand where the other is coming from.

 It is all too easy to want to force your view down the other person's throat, even if you KNOW it's the truth, for example in the case of a 37-year old (me), e...

Cheers to the people who try to be "well-meaning" and stand in the way of our dreams. At the end of they day, they're just scared humans.

I remember in 2009 when my parents went around their friend circle calling everyone they could and asking them to speak to me, or maybe those people just wanted ...

I remember when I was 14-15, trying to play Hockey better on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays ("because if you don't do this... how will you be an "all rounder" and get access to the best schools?" - what a waste of time that was!), and learning how to Debate in school in Raffles Institution. Despite...

I was recently watching "Selling The City" on Netflix, as I generate a lot of positive energy for myself via watching business people and being in their presence (in reality or virtually through a TV screen).

In one of the episodes, a lady said something to the effect of getting "some champagne and...

To show that something is undesirable, or to heal someone so they do not commit unkind deeds often, should we commit the unkind deeds ourselves? Makes no sense.

In some countries, the death penalty exists. Even as I hear that or visualise it, I shudder. Be honest. Your heart shudders too.

Here's w...

A conscious decision to simplify and declutter your digital life can yield powerful returns.

Around my birthday last year in October 2024, I decided to exercise radical self-care. I haven't shot any new YouTube videos since that time with my face in them (my mistake I did, I did some bouldering and...

The night, is mysterious and encompassing.

In the night, boundaries are blurred, both figuratively and visually.

Artists and creative folk crave the night.

Night is the best time for you to do something for yourself, daily. Or the early morning (before or after most of the activities in your day)...

Often, we have large tasks and goals ahead of us. I don't know any humans who "dream small". I know plenty who are stressed out though.

This happens because we try to bite off more than we can chew. As I go through a re-setting of my system to bring me back to who I was when I was a child before I ...

It's good to be in touch with people, sometimes even people you barely know... but how much is too much?

There was an extended family Whatsapp group I left, of the second cousins, on my Mom's Mom's side (my mother's mother's siblings' kids). A group of people from all over the globe.
