Living is more than just working a job and receiving a paycheck, it is loving it, following your passion. It is not letting your fears control you into not taking actions, it is not staying in a toxic relationship because you’re scared of what happens when you let that person go, it is moving out of your comfort zone rather than following the same boring routine every day even though you hate it.

No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else. Be brave about who you are. You don’t have to apologize for being yourself, do it fearlessly. It is time to accept this is you and when you make mistakes, tell yourself “I’m going to be better, not bitter “.

On Friendship and Letting Go…

June 21, 2018

Although friendship is something we all desire and having great friends improve our lives for the better, there are some friends or friendships that are toxic. Some turn sour, some fizzle out and some just grow apart. Anything can happen in friendship, as a popular proverb says “20 friends won’t play together for 20 years”. Just because we like someone or we don’t want to hurt their feelings doesn’t mean we should ignore their negativity. … More On Friendship and Letting Go…
