Speed Bumps Ain't Made for Stopin'
It was hot summer's day. The moment you stepped outside you could tell the sun was not particularly gracious to anyone who had the courage enough to brave the intolerable heat. The scorching rays of sunlight barreled down without any mercy. And along with it cane a Southern summer's heat. It was muggy, sticky, and humid. The kind of air that you can almost feel on your skin.

The mindset of Winners v/s the mindset of Losers
In Indian epic Mahabharata, there is an incident mentioned in which a race was organised between Kauravas and Pandavas. Duryodhan, who was the strongest Kaurava was always jealous of Bheema, the strongest Pandava. Bheeshma(The grandfather of Kaurava and Pandavas)was the supervisor of the race.

Change
Nobody can make me feel as miserable and worthless as I can. It has always been one of my worst character traits. The self-loathing I can inflict on myself can be so damaging, I find myself wanting to sleep my life away. The beautiful dreams that encompass my sleep, are always more pleasant than reality.

Today is Your Day
When I was in my 1st year of university I decided that I wanted to learn to sew. This was way before Google could answer your every question and YouTube was the expert on everything! I had to do it the old fashioned way and learn from trial and error. I started making totes because what 19 yr old doesn’t want to learn to make their own handbag (I know it’s hard to believe but I was completely serious, guys!). Before long I graduated to sewing my own clothes. At that time in my life, the sky was the limit. I seriously believed I could do anything I put my mind to. There wasn’t a teacher, mentor or social media influencer whose example I was trying to emulate. I was simply following my own path. It helped that I had the support of a loving family and that I was able to see myself through their eyes: independent, smart and capable. Fast forward to now and I’m certainly not as enthusiastic and confident in my abilities; the world no longer feels like my oyster. Age has brought with it handicaps and limitations that are self imposed. Doubt, insecurity and fear of failure are more comfortable companions than they once were.

Money Book
It was a typical day in the city of brotherly love. Winter was starting to come to an end. Lola has been grateful for the winter but is happy to see spring come. She has been going through tough times financially but has been keeping a smile on her face anyway. Things could be worse she thought to herself. I have much to be grateful for.

3 Skills of a Successful Entrepreneur You Need To Learn
Most people are becoming entrepreneurs because they think it’s cool But it’s not. If you are becoming an entrepreneur because you think it’s cool then I recommend you choose arts and other stuff which is cool because entrepreneurship is taking hard work and other things that the ordinary person doesn't do.

Change One Word, Change Your Mind
We’ve all heard the saying “I’m tired of this shit” and we’ve probably said it ourselves. In fact, that thought may be why you are reading this article today. About 5 years ago, I heard a coworker say it differently. He used “from” instead of using the traditional format: “I’m tired FROM this shit.” He was joking around with co-workers when I overheard him and I failed to ask him why he said it differently, but I’ve never forgotten that interesting quip and now I use it myself, when necessary. It is actually quite profound.

A DAY TO REMEMBER *Alarm * As I peel my heavy eyes open and wipe the sleepiness from them, I catch sight of the time 8:15am! I can’t believe I slept through every alsrm I set, I knew staying up finishing this project for Mr.Tade was a terrible idea. As I run through my studio collecting my purse and papers, shoving slacks and a blouse on, I take a sip of last night cold coffee and head for the door. Running and biting my purse trap to hold it in my mouth holding with one arm all of last nights regrets; I throw my hand up and wave the first taxi over. As I jump in and throw out my work address to the driver, I toss my stuff in the seat next to me and start to put my hair in a ballerina bun to hide my shame. Applying my makeup while hitting New Yorks roads was a skill only few can master, and I was not one. Finishing my lipstick the taxi pulls to the side “14.80” the driver said. I threw a 20 at him grabbed my stuff and ran into the building. The meeting had started already, I pulled my seat slowly and sat down everyone not daring to look my way to draw attention for Mr.Tade. “Miss Dasson I see you choose to finally join us today, since we are already half way through why don’t you go ahead and present my project.”

Try Anything
Sitting on the train for my work commute I dwell on how today is not a good one. Not unusual, it seems every time I work to improve my life something happens to burst my bubble as soon as I feel secure. It is difficult to pick myself up again, I feel like ‘what is the point?’.

Pandemic Blues
Eliza trudged her way to the mailbox one damp, cloudy, miserable Monday. Three hundred days and counting, the world had been isolated because of the Pandemic of 2020. She and her partner, Matt, had a nice house tucked away on a large lot behind some zoned businesses. They were fairly secluded and had been able to ride out the Covid-19 virus pretty well thus far.

The Conversation
To this day I am still not quite sure why this internal dialogue picked this exact moment in time to unveil itself to me. Maybe it was just long overdue or maybe it was ignited by the workshop I recently attended on "Creating a Prosperity Vision".
