No One Cares If You’re Perfect

Why do we so easily create moulds of perfection to fit into, when all it is is an illusion to distract you from enjoying the present. I have very quickly come to realise that no one else is holding me up to this standard that I set myself and to be perfectly honest, no one cares that I’m not reaching that standard! Because everyone has their own journey to undertake and everyone has their own trials and struggles that keep them busy—why take up more brainspace worrying about whether someone else is perfect?

How To Practice Empathy

Let’s go on an empathy journey, because in the times we are living in, there is always more needed to go around! When we find ourselves disagreeing on so many things (hello politics and COVID

just to name two), how can we practice empathy to better understand each other? Note: I didn’t say agree.

2021—A Year To Embrace

We made it. We may be bruised, battered and have the scars to prove it, but we all made it! 2020 was a year that no one saw coming and that no one could prepare for. It brought out the absolute worst in people, but it also brought out the best.

With a new year comes new year's resolutions, but this year I am putting aside your typical resolutions and trading them in for character challenges. I invite you to come on the journey with me and perhaps even add these to your own list. When our world becomes darker with pride, greed and hate, let us be those that to display love, hope and empathy.

How To Live A Purposeful Life Amidst Chaos

I found myself looking back at the start of the year and all the plans I had in place that have so swiftly (and frequently) been bulldozed into oblivion. I started thinking about my plans and how to achieve them, but when the world (internal and external) is in so much chaos, how do you find the balance or motivation for living with purpose? After all, just because we are in some form of isolation or lockdown, doesn’t mean that time actually stops. My world doesn’t stop spinning because I can’t go out of my home. So then, where do I find purpose for my life in this chaos?

How To Change The World

We all want to feel powerful. We all want to feel like we matter. We all want to feel like what we do makes a difference. It is human nature. But so often we get stuck in between glorious ideals of changing the world and looking at our current circumstances and feeling powerless, like we are too insignificant to make a difference.

It is time to break that mindset once and for all.
