It is within my control to be happy!

Perhaps it is within my control to be happy. I can respond to my environment by choosing happiness, allowing my emotions to support that decision and sustain a sense of contentment. Yet, the reality is more complex. In certain situations, it may not make sense to...

Keep your goodness intact!

Don’t let those mean people take your goodness away. They want you to be like them. They want you to act like them. They hope one day you’ll mirror their mean actions. But don’t let them. Keep your goodness...

We all make assumptions, but.

We all make assumptions, and while it may not be practical to validate everything upfront, the real trouble arises when we are unaware of these assumptions. When we don’t consciously recognise our assumptions, we risk believing them as truth. Sometimes, it is too late...

Tactics vs character rant!

How do you influence others? How do you provide feedback? How do you get others to make decisions? How do you make a sale? There are thousands of these “how to” questions, and millions of tactics preached by countless experts. But in my opinion, much of it...

Life is strange!

Life is strange. I assume things will stay as they are for a while, but I watch as life turns upside down in the blink of an eye. At the same time, I see it soar to new heights from seemingly nowhere. There’s no logic—just pure randomness. Givers become seekers, and...

Collaborating to find answers!

Nothing I write would make me any more special, as AI can write better. But that doesn’t mean I should stop writing. There is value in putting thoughts on paper, formulating plans on Gantt charts, drawing pictures on whiteboards, and meeting people for open...

It is all about our reference point!

When my problems overwhelm me and things are getting out of hand, frustration grows and negativity fills my brain. There’s a high chance that I’m self-obsessing, thinking about myself a little too much. To improve my condition, all I need to do is look...
