Life in Progress

We all have a workload to finish before the deadline. We all have an urgent task to complete for which we struggle to find the time. We all have our struggles in life. We all have our plates full. Our life is full of such struggles when our goal is excellence. Sometimes, our struggle carries us a bit more. We bite more than we can chew. And that leads to exhaustion both mental and physic...

Religion has been an important social institution for many ages. Religion today has gained a lot of negative currency whenever there is a mention of religion; people associate it with fundamentalism, extremism, religious fascism, communalism, and much more which are actually the root causes of corrupting the institution of religion. Amidst all this, there are debates among the people that question...

You may have wondered, “What is karma, and how karma affects your life?” Karma is a concept of “what goes around comes around” and “what you sow is what you reap” are great examples of how karma works. Hinduism identifies karma as the relationship between a person’s mental or physical activity and the consequences following that action. It also signifies the consequences of a person’s actions...

When deciding to change careers at 45, 35, or any age, can be challenging. It takes courage and effort, but it’s far from impossible. You still have plenty of time to make a career change at 30. Unless you already have a career in mind, you’ll need to do some introspection and explore different options that match your current interests, lifestyle, aspirations, and personality. If you're over 30 wi...

Your life today is the sum of your habits. I’m tired of lists of habits that I will never do. I’m not going to wake up at 5 a.m., run 10 miles a day, or fast for 20 hours a day. Let’s face it, most of us aren’t. No single habit will magically transform your life if it needs too much mental energy from you. I try to make a habit as small as possible to nudge myself in the right direction. Experts s...

I have been trying to find the meaning of life outside my career success and I must say that it was not easy to find what else I wanted in life but it definitely helped me define what success is for me. I love myself, my life, and solitude, this is something I have worked on my whole life. Moving forward with my adulthood journey I want to still grow alone but what makes it different now is that I...

Description: A people-pleaser is a person who puts others’ needs ahead of their own. This type of person is highly attuned to others and often seen as agreeable, helpful, and kind, but people-pleasers can also have trouble advocating for themselves, which can lead to a harmful pattern of self-sacrifice or self-neglect. Imagine living your life trying to please people around you all the time. I’ve...

Unhappiness is a part of life. Everyone experiences unhappiness once in a while. But what if it seems like you're unhappy all of the time? What causes your unhappiness? The path to being happier can be long and sometimes requires great changes in one’s life. In fact, being happy is something you need to cultivate every day, but adopting the right patterns in your life and then sticking to them. In...

We are all a work in progress, which means we will create a lot of mistakes in this lifetime. So how do we learn to correct ourselves when no one guides us? I believe that it is very important to have self-awareness and learn how to call out to ourselves when we fall into the same traps again, recovering from our own patterns is not easy as this is something we are so familiar with and makes it ve...

I’ve spent a lot of time defining my own success and happiness. I have always loved my freedom but now I have achieved almost everything I’ve always wanted, what’s next then? Nowadays I still have a lot of dreams and things I want to go create but this time I am not leaving my loved ones behind like how I did it in my 20s. This time, I am wiser and more capable in life, now only being with them an...

When it comes to dealing with difficult people, it can be tough to just “grin and bear it.” A really unpleasant person or interaction can linger in your mind, even when you’re not around them. Suppressing those interactions can start to take its toll on your mental health. Many times, like at work, we have to be around these difficult people whether we want to or not. No one looks forward to inter...

Lately, I have been reflecting on the most painful heartbreak I’ve experienced in this lifetime. He was the love of my life but I’ve moved on with grace, I never bad-mouthed him nor destroyed his reputation, he was part of my life and we made beautiful memories together that I will be remembering and treasuring for the rest of my life. I was so in love with him, and he made me so happy, this was w...

You probably wonder why everyone is still so focused on being in a relationship because you’re having a great time being single and so focused on your goals. Well, you’re right. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being single, even as a woman above 30. But somewhere along the way, the world thinks there’s something wrong with being single, and this practice of shaming single women is still wide...

You have to stop that comparison, most people are living fake lives on social media. We are in a world where everyone has dreams and aspirations. Everyone wishes to succeed, be seen, and hear. Some dream big so they could be of help to others, some dream big so they could enjoy a happy life with their family, some so they could flirt and enjoy their social life at the peak&nbsp...

I thought success was going to be easier and smoother but it is absolutely not like how I imagined it years ago. Success is something you don’t even feel, it does not last, it gets harder and tougher to maintain it when you are already on the top. I have been having this conversation with a lot of my close friends, especially the ones who decided to leave success when they already got it because t...

We have been so much in life and there are times when we are shameful of our actions and the things we have done. There are also times that our failures may make us feel shameful. I have experienced so much in life that nowadays shame even does not give me bad feelings for more than a day. The last time I felt so ashamed was when things ended with my ex-boyfriend, I was so sure of him and us that...

The tricky thing about friends is that we often just feel so much affection and love for them that we can sometimes be blind to their more harmful and negative behaviors. Making friends is hard but cutting them off is even harder, everyone can be toxic, even I can be toxic, probably I have been also toxic to some of the people I used to be friends with. The thing is no one is perfect, and there ar...

Yes, we can share our life with our families and friends, but I personally think that not everything should be shared. When we overshare we give people the power to use something against us. Oversharing normally leads to a lot of problems, pressure and unnecessary envy that we don’t need. I have encountered envy from my closest friends and family members, my journey in life has been unique and I’v...

Where do I start? We do a lot of things that hurt our growth and happiness. Browing social media for no reason, comparing ourselves with curated lives of people online, constantly talking badly to ourselves and the list goes on. Why we can’t be kind enough to ourselves and take it slow sometimes. Oh, I am the worst at this, I constantly put pressure on myself to be the best because I am an overach...

I must say that I have tried them both, traveling to almost every place I have ever thought of and literally buying everything I wanted to at every luxury store. After experiencing both, I still find my confidence and most joyful self when I travel and experience beautiful things. My life is very fascinating because I have this access to the world which sometimes is still confusing and overwhelmin...

Being “yourself” is the most beautiful thing you can do to yourself. This is something I have always believed in, it is not easy I won’t sugarcoat it that this has been the hardest thing for me, because the more I become myself the more I tend to have a filter for people who truly accept me and I can rely on. Life is a long journey, we waste so much thinking about what people think about us but at...

For me, these goods are a reward every time we achieve something big, despite being able to afford luxury in life, I still practice to not go too much with these things because I know I won’t find true happiness and confidence even I buy the most expensive bags. I am not against acquiring luxury items because these indeed boost confidence whenever we need to do big meetings, impress a client and h...

I went on a date in Madrid before traveling to South America and I told this guy that I love my job but I am also inlove with my beautiful apartment in Madrid, for me, traveling is now about doing my job perfectly and growing my business. I no longer crave for it and have the hunger to see every place as much as possible. Did it make me happy in the last 16 years? Yes, it made me the open-minded p...

Life is such a short journey, it is not simple and easy but it is possible with a lot of hard work. Small steps add up to a bigger picture that would make sense one day, sometimes we are so focused on the bigger picture and forget to live in the moment to enjoy moments of happiness. Creating the life we will love in future starts today with every single decision we make, we do not feel the impact...

I have been struggling a lot lately, success comes with very big responsibilites and disappointments. My standards in everything are getting higher and higher which I am losing of people on this journey, this is how it has been for me, the more I choose growth and myself, the more alone I feel. Down moments have always shown the best things for me, I feel like I have to go thorugh all these moment...
