Moderation is the Key

December 3, 2012

If you had asked me two months ago, “When was the last time you had a drink?”, my answer would have been 5 and a half years. I’d never cared too much for drinking alcohol; I rarely drank in excess. But during the past weekend, I let loose for the first time in a long… Read More Moderation is the Key

Why We Need to Have Dreams and Goals

November 8, 2012

I spoke to a young man yesterday who inspired me, to say the least. He stood in front of a group of people, talking about his life plan for the next 6 months. It was a well-thought out plan, which demonstrated why dreams and goals are so important to our future. Photo Credit: graur razvan ionut… Read More Why We Need to Have Dreams and Goals

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

Why Success Requires Sacrifice

October 9, 2012

As I write this post, my household is dead silent. My three young children are asleep in bed and it’s almost midnight. Tomorrow will be another day that I balance being a stay at home mother, writer and entrepreneur. Although this is the busiest I have ever been, it’s also been the happiest. And I… Read More Why Success Requires Sacrifice

How Learning Helps You Succeed in Life

August 29, 2012

Life is generally defined as one big “learning curve”. We make decisions based on what is right for us, we learn from others’ mistakes and accomplishments, and we are inspired by the surroundings around us. The learning that we do every day, no matter how trivial; paves the way to our success in life. As… Read More How Learning Helps You Succeed in Life

Why Being Polite Is Important

August 24, 2012

I’ve been laughed at for one of the most peculiar things. My politeness. I’m the sort of person who will ask before using your restroom, ask if it’s okay to have the last slice of pizza, and thank you for cooking me dinner even if you’re my own mother. I believe in having manners, and… Read More Why Being Polite Is Important

Overcoming Stress with a Positive Attitude

August 23, 2012

Why You Should Never Give Up

June 26, 2012

An old friend once wisely said to me: “It is not the smartest people that end up being the most successful. It is the most hard working”. And his words reaffirmed my belief in the importance of perseverance and determination. From a young age, I’ve had great self-discipline. I didn’t believe in giving up on things… Read More Why You Should Never Give Up

It’s Never Too Late

June 22, 2012

A paediatrician once said to me: “It doesn’t matter how your daughter’s behavioural issues came to be, all that matters is what you do for her NOW”. Those words have stayed with me for the past 2 years. I’ve always been someone who tackles problems head on. I like to seek out the cause of things… Read More It’s Never Too Late

Envy: How It Limits Success

April 10, 2012

I’ve always believed that in order to be successful, you must focus less on others and more on yourself. A person learns to perform at their best through challenging themselves and reflecting back on their weaknesses. That is why I think ‘envy’ has no place in success. To be envious of someone else and yearn… Read More Envy: How It Limits Success
