  • Are you ruled by feelings?

    Sorry, I got carried away. There are times when we allow our mouths to say things our rational brains wouldn’t, given the right amount of space to think. But when we allow our emotions free rein and reign over us, we’d be surprised how they could even control the things we do, even if it Read more

  • Laziness, cooking, and climate change

    Why do things feel challenging to do when you are simply lazy to try new things?

  • Don’t quit on yourself

    It’s easy to do mediocre work. How? By doing the bare minimum. You might even convince yourself, “No matter how much work I put in, my pay is still the same, so why bother?“ Then you build a habit out of mediocrity, like a resignation on life itself, and the next thing you know, you Read more

  • I even felt sleepy writing this

    I’ve been with people who were not at their best because they lacked sleep. They might try to be up so acquaintances and friends wouldn’t be offended by their lack of enthusiasm. But once they are left alone with the people they are very familiar with, a lover or a family, the sleep-deprived just shuts Read more
