Can You Fail at Failure?
Another day, another failure, another opportunity to reflect. There have been so many times now that I have figuratively banged my head against the wall in anguish over what a colossal failure I am. Just earlier this evening I threw in the towel and committed to giving up. I gave up on writing a research project proposal that I was genuinely eager to complete. I talked myself into an absolute tizzy over all the reasons why it would go wrong, why it would be a mistake, why it would cause problems for me down the line. Funnily (or perhaps not at all), I couldn't even articulate what would actually go wrong, I just felt this impending doom that something definitely would.

The Power of the 24
We have 86,400 seconds each day to accomplish so much. Just think, the average person, Barack Obama, Beyoncé, and Bill Gates each have the same 86,400 seconds every day. Many people might have giggled at the analogy, but the first step of maximizing your day is understanding that your day can be maximized without the cost being lack of physical and mental wellbeing. Granted, the average person usually has daily tasks that are different from public figures and the average person does not have a professional or personal assistant, yet we all still have the same 24 to achieve our goals. And, the fact of the matter is that we actually experience the entire 24 hours of each day. Let’s assume the daily itinerary of a college student for example (we are easy to pick on).

New Year's Resolutions
Feb. 15, 2019: New Years Resolutions... This is something that's been on my mind for some time now. I have an issue when it comes to setting goals and actually keeping them, especially when I don't see immediate results. I am impatient, so often times when I am unable to see the progress I've been making I get discouraged and will eventually give up.

10 Reasons Why I Hate Productivity Videos on YouTube
Being a university student, I have exams, assignments, and due dates. besides all my extra-school stuff like work, laundry, socializing, and having fun. The study community on YouTube and on the social is always proposing brand new, crazy routines that go from 5 A.M. and lead to dinner with no space for fun whatsoever. Here is why I hate this 5 A.M. standard and why I think your years in uni shouldn't be stressful ones.

Your Brain
Your brain is probably the most complex supercomputer on the planet and it needs you to program it. From the time you wake up to the time you drift off into dreamland, you are in control of your brain and what it sees, hears, and learns. As the owners of these super machines, we are responsible for what we put into them for later use. As such, it is extremely important for our well being to make sure we are creating code that will enhance our lives and the lives of those around us.

Cursed or Paranoid?
Okay, I think we need to talk about this one because it is an issue I am perpetually hearing. Life is going to hell in a hand basket, relationships are going sour, finances suck, health is going bad, interpersonal conflicts abound, bill collectors won’t stop calling, you can't find a job, your Facebook page has been hacked, you are the victim of identity theft, your best friend sleeps with your husband or wife, and the list goes on and on.

Magic in the Mundane
Have you ever experienced times of excitement and inspiration when starting a new task only to have it soon leave you? Have you ever been motivated in a new direction only to stop when it got boring or tiring? Know that you are not alone and that many others have gone through the same feelings in the pursuit of their dreams.

Got to Stay Focused
I will be the first to say that I have started a lot of projects and haven’t finished them. I have also procrastinated to the point where I convinced myself that what I started in the first place wasn’t as important as I previously assumed. After a while, it starts to become a habit and you find yourself getting involved with things or committing to something and not following through, which effects your relationship with people, damages your integrity, and you lose trust in yourself.
