Everyday Stories, Lived

  • Sleep — the easiest corner to cut?

    I am born into a generation who thinks that sleep is leisure which hinders ticking off one more thing from the never-ending to-do list.

    If you’ve been thinking lately about how other people get so creative and you pale in contrast, you might have assumed that you simply don’t have the talent gene.

  • Through the eyes of bitterness

    For the past few weeks now, we were taught at church about how bitterness takes root in our hearts and grow. As it says in Hebrews 12:15 NLT: Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to Read more

  • Why being in a group matters

    If you think you can be the best you in isolation, think again. Most people who excel in their craft are the ones who involve themselves in groups that challenge their assumptions and drive their productivity. I can remember how exciting it was to be with a team of thinkers. Just by spending time with Read more
