We all want to make a difference—whether in our own lives or in the world around us. But with the demands of daily life, making meaningful change can feel overwhelming—maybe even impossible. Here’s the surprising truth: you don’t need hours, huge resources, or drastic measures. All it takes is 35 minutes a day. By dedicating just 35 minutes each day, I’ve been able to consistently work on Inner Pa...

And so, I turned 30 years old in 2023! Five years ago, I decided to make time every five years to reflect in-depth about all that has happened in my life and everything that I have learned over those past five years. Therefore, I am releasing a new edition in the archive. Hopefully, by sharing my lessons and insights, you can find some truths of your own that can help you in your own life. Note: E...

Taking time to reflect and acknowledge this, is not alone fun, it is also e...

On 19th February 2021, I had a sudden cardiac arrest and died while I was asleep. I was 28 years old. Thanks to the quick thinking of my girlfriend and the paramedics showing up within minutes, my heart started pumping again. And now I’ve been given a second chance at life. Even though I have stayed quite positive and optimistic throughout this journey, it has been rough, with many ups and downs....

Video games saved my life… It’s true. Between 12 to 18 years old, I hated my life and found it extremely boring and dull. The way I escaped this stage and found some joy was through video games. Back then, I loved (and still love today) the MMORPG genre. I played literally all of them: Warhammer Online, Star Wars Galaxies, City of Heroes, Guild Wars, Final Fantasy XI, Everquest, The Secret World,...

In fact, these words can at times open up a range of ideas and insights you would never have thought about if you did not have restrictions or limitations.  Some of the most...

Amongst them is one that is not often talked about: not feeling motivated to go to bed. In the past, I always used to struggle with the lack of motivation for going to bed.
