It's Time To Stop Running!
If I received a dollar for every time I stated the obvious in my blog entries, by mentioning the fact that life is full of challenges, adversities, hardships, failures, rejections, and setbacks, I'd be wealthy by now. Sadly, it is the truth though, and we'd be extremely naïve not to acknowledge that. Life indeed tests us in so many ways, it tears us apart, it grinds us into the ground, and it drags us to incredible lows. Thankfully, life delivers us some wonderful blessings, the right to happiness, some incredible highs, and so much to be grateful for also. Ultimately, we are given the choice in which way we wish to perceive life, be it that we focus on all the negatives, or by feeling blessed and uplifted by focusing on all the positives. One thing is for sure, no matter how mentally strong and disciplined we are in continually focusing on the positives in life, it doesn't make us exempt from all those challenges, adversities, hardships, failures, rejections, and setbacks, that life throws at us. The difference with those who are mentally strong and disciplined is they choose to still focus on gratitude and positivity, despite how dire their circumstances may become, and they proactively seek out the opportunities that lie within the adversity they are experiencing. It's not an easy thing to do, let me tell you, and takes many years of mind training and strengthening to perfect, but what it all comes back to is ourselves, and what we allow our mind to focus on. Once again, it's a choice. In times of adversity and trial, not only do we have a choice in regards to our mindset, and what we choose to focus on, but we also have a choice in how we react to it, and how we plan to overcome it.

Ideas are Searching ... for YOU
Knock knock. Who's there? An idea! ... You should probably answer that; it seems important. I love how Elizabeth Gilbert personifies "ideas" in her book, Big Magic -- as though they are entities in search for an individual who they can collaborate with, in order to bring them to life.

How to Conquer Post-Grad Depression
When I set out for University at sixteen I was naïve about the responsibilities a bachelors degree demanded. In fact, I burst through the gates of Trinidad's oldest tertiary institution with blinding stamina. I was all bright-eyed and all bushy-tailed! I introduced myself with brewing enthusiasm to everyone, and wouldn't stop talking.

Fear is Temporary. Regret is Forever.
If jumping from a bridge is not exciting enough, add an exotic locale, an elite distinction, and world-class hospitality. It all adds up to a mind-expanding, toe-curling experience of a lifetime and one I highly recommend for anyone seeking to free themselves from fear.

Say What?
Your palms are sweaty, your brow is furrowed, and your fingers are twitchy, just waiting for your brain to tell you what to do. There's nothing more frustrating for a writer than staring at a blank page with no idea where to begin. Whether you write with paper or on a computer document, sometimes you need a boost to get started.

No Ordinary Zen
My Playlist is a series of YouTube vids that stemmed from a 27 song playlist I made for a casual chill vibe. Each of the ten songs was chosen by shuffle. Here is what has appeared for your entertainment, and hopefully they will acknowledge your desire for some calm and still conscious Zen states.

6 Steps To Increase Productivity
Over the last year or so, life has changed in drastic ways. Many are working from makeshift offices at home. But life hasn’t stopped. Actually, life has gotten more hectic. On top of the pressures of adjusting to the new normal, we still have to take care of the typical, everyday obligations of life. Paying bills, figuring out what to cook for supper (I think we all understand the stress in this job, right?), helping kids with school work, and trying to fit in some time for leisure. It can all be a bit overwhelming, can’t it?
