Nothing is a Waste of Time

July 12, 2013

This is a post that’s very difficult for me to write. At this moment in time, I’m listening to sad, depressing music and on the verge of tears. Just two days ago, I lost someone who’s been important to me for a very long time. I didn’t lose them to death. I lost them, because… Read More Nothing is a Waste of Time

Success Means No Excuses

July 3, 2013

Imagine you’re going for a job interview the next day. It’s for a position you’ve had your eye on for a while. You’ve been preparing for weeks, practising your responses, laying out the right outfit. You’ve got everything down pat. Then you get a phone call. Maybe someone close to you has passed away. Maybe… Read More Success Means No Excuses

Being Unique is Important

June 13, 2013

Being a writer is such a scary thing. Every time I publish a piece of writing, I’m putting my thoughts on the line and opening myself up to rejection. It’s nerve-wracking, but exhilarating at the same time. However, for someone like me, who never imagined she’d become a writer, it’s all the more scary. Growing… Read More Being Unique is Important

Letting Go of the Past & the ‘What Ifs’

April 6, 2013

Whenever I think of “what ifs”, my mind automatically thinks back to the film ‘Sliding Doors’. Gwyneth Paltrow plays a role that sees her character live in two parallel universes – one where she misses the train, the other where she doesn’t. In both universes, the events that follow are quite different to each other.… Read More Letting Go of the Past & the ‘What Ifs’

You Don’t Have to be Perfect

March 13, 2013

Many of the people I come across in my life, are generally very shocked to hear how busy my life is. They’ll make comments such as, “You’re wonderwoman!”, “You’re supermum!”. Then they’ll awe in amazement and follow it up with, “I can’t believe you have 3 young kids and write as well… How do you… Read More You Don’t Have to be Perfect

Life Doesn’t Come with an Instruction Manual

March 7, 2013

There was always this inside joke between my friend and I. She would joke that I basically knew the answer to everything. Whenever something was troubling her and she needed advice, she would always come to me. I was not only her friend but her confidant – someone who she could depend on to provide… Read More Life Doesn’t Come with an Instruction Manual

My “Instant Happy” Happiness Tool

January 14, 2013

A friend of mine once criticised me for being “too nice”. She thought that I needed to change, otherwise I’d be taken advantage of one day. Funny thing is, it was actually being “too nice” that saved my life. In a previous post, I wrote about how I went through a tough time and believed… Read More My “Instant Happy” Happiness Tool

It’s OK to Make Mistakes

December 12, 2012

I came across the following quote the other day, which got me thinking: “Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn’t mean they have to pay for them for the rest of their life. Sometimes good people make bad choices. It doesn’t mean they’re bad… it means they’re human!” We’ve all been there. We’ve all… Read More It’s OK to Make Mistakes

Life’s Too Short to Be Angry

November 23, 2012

There is a saying that I tend to live by. It goes along the lines of: “For every minute you spend angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness.” Today, I didn’t abide by this philosophy and lost about an hour of my life. The close call It was only 9.30am this morning and I’d already thought… Read More Life’s Too Short to Be Angry

You’ll Never Know Until You Try

October 30, 2012

When I think back to my high school days, my memories probably fall outside the norm. For me, high school wasn’t about the friendships I made, or the transition from childhood into adulthood. Instead, it was about the life lessons I learned within those walls. When I was in my graduating year of high school,… Read More You’ll Never Know Until You Try
