“Like anything worth doing in life, happiness takes time and patience and consistency.” – Mark Manson
We’ve all seen those “inspiring” interviews, where some “successful” person throws around some “motivational” lines about their big ideas, working non-stop, and never giving up on their dreams. True, all that matters. It’s how great things get done. However, it’s only half the story and honestly, it’s the boring half. What about when you put … Read more
Growing up, I was opportune to play a lot of video games. My favourite games were racing games (like Need For Speed) and adventure games (like God of War). And, the concept of levelling up was fundamental to these games. In Need For Speed, for example, you need a different class of cars to unlock … Read more
Ever wondered why some Clergymen cheat on their partners or launder money, while some drug addicts are honest or hardworking?

One of these issues I believe is that some extreme, unfair, and unrealistic views … Read more
Too many adults are not happy. They dislike the responsibilities that come with adulthood. They’re dissatisfied with (the position they are in) the society and systems we’ve built and live in. Rather than being internally driven, they’re pushed to act by societal pressure. From work to relationships, life often feels like a chore. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Last week I caught myself doing something I don’t like. I showed off. It wasn’t planned, but it happened, and it made me think hard about why I did it. I went to visit a friend in her shop. My phone was low on battery, so she offered to charge it for me. As I … Read more
