We often think we can’t achieve our wildest dreams or that we are somehow incapable, and then we never, ever take that first step.” – Riitta KlintYou know moments when you feel like you’ve […]
Carol Dweck’s concept of the growth mindset is a game changer and a life saver!I say this because her book “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success” helped me view this sometimes unforgiving monster called success from a very empathetic and hopeful perspective.In honor of this brilliant author, I have picked out 10 growth mindset quotes […]
I failed badly in school. It took me 5 years to do a 3 year degree. I wasn’t happy with that at all, especially during my second last year of school, which was supposed to be my last. When I realised how badly I failed, I practically freaked out and had to go for a […]
A book titled “What’s Wrong With Me?” is already pretty heavy. I even received an email from a friend that kinda read like this: I’m just curious as to why the heavy title? It sounds very loaded and I’m wondering what on earth would have inspired that… Especially when you, like the rest of us, […]
I have always loved quotes, which is why I am constantly creating them. It doesn’t matter to me whether people think they are corny.

You know what I’ve learnt from most millennials? (That’s anyone born after 1988). Optimism, and anything to do with positive thinking, is for suckers. Suckers with no life, no game, and absolutely no swag! (Am I allowed to use ‘swag’ in 2015?) It is waaayyy more cooler to be a skeptic. A cynic. A pessimist, who […]
A few days ago, I wrote a posted a simple question on reddit. I asked, “What is depressing you today?” I received a flood of comments; people who are suffering from depression, who are close to losing their jobs, who have lost their jobs and are facing evictions, who have sky high credit-card and student […]
I have to admit, I have been seriously off track for the last couple of weeks. I will be honest that I still have self-sabotage eating at the routines that I diligently created for the past year. I am not immune to self-sabotage. In fact, it has been with me for decades. When you spend […]
