The Journey of 1000 No’s
Everyone is quick to celebrate success. We all love to win. In a world with instant feedback, likes, and numerous opinion platforms, it’s easy to feel pressured to have loud successes and quick outcomes. ‘Nothing good comes easy’ is a saying that has been said over the years, but seems to be forgotten when it […]
IS YOUR BOWL TOO SMALL?
Have you ever felt like you were made for more, but you do not know how to go about it, or felt like you need to shrink or reduce your standards or preferences in certain spaces? This is not about pride, pickiness or inability to adapt or cooperate with people. There are people who cannot […]
Dealing with Flaws, Habits and Shadows
Shadows are beams of darkness that are direct products of light. Shadows ‘shine’ brightest in the brightest of lights; they are deemed in the darkness. Shadows exist in different forms, both real and in our minds, souls, emotions or even habits. What does a habit shadow look like? I once had a friend in university […]

My Everyday Life: A day at the Gym!
I recently joined a gym- again. This time, I joined for a totally different reason than I did the last time. With my priorities elsewhere, I had been struggling with consistency.

Will You Be My Henry?
