Be comfortable being uncomfortable…

I just attended an amazing conference last week in Charlotte and one of the key takeaways I brought home with me is to be comfortable being uncomfortable. When we were born, most, if not all of us, were uncomfortable living outside our mother’s womb. That’s the reason why babies cry but over a few hours, […]

If it were me…

I used to judge a lot and usually it is not just limited to people but to different situations as well. I am not saying I am not judgmental anymore, but I’m always working to lessen it. It’s actually hard not to judge you know. Just this morning, I was annoyed when I saw a […]

Be careful what you wish for…

Have you ever want something so bad but when you get it, you realized that what you already had is what you really want?   If you have been following me, I shared that my contract was not renewed and that led to me being out of the workforce for 52 days, the longest break […]

What are you afraid of?

It’s Halloween today. So I guess, it is kind of timely to talk about the things that we are afraid of. When I was a kid (actually up to now), I have always been afraid of ghosts. I might have seen one or two, but who knows, it might just be my imagination. I didn’t […]

Why Do You Wake Up Every Morning?

I remember an advertisement on TV by Nescafe when I was still in the Philippines. The main question in the ad is “Who do you wake up for in the morning?” and that’s what we will try to answer today. The question “Who do you wake up for in the morning?” is almost synonymous to […]

What might I…

I love listening to podcasts when driving. I think it’s one good way of using my alone time as I’m hitting two birds with one stone, me getting to where I’m supposed to go (literally) and me continuing my journey towards self-improvement. I’m currently listening to the Mindvalley Podcast and this reflection is about one […]
