On Why We Should Live as if We Only Have Five Years Left
"I don't know how to help them." "I don't know how to help them." He was stammering and he kept repeating himself. I looked down at his feet while he shifted weight from one to the other. There were wide spaces between his teeth and his face, youthful, was betrayed only by the lines of fear etched across his forehead.

The Ditch of Instant Gratification
I am a hedonist in many ways, as I have this constant urge for gratification which often can push me towards grabbing the nearest thing close to me to satiate this need. In the current smart technology age, social media can be one of such things. I don’t know how much time I can sometimes spend on Twitter and Facebook, and the internet in general. I end up often following the trail of links from my social pages, getting lost in the endless environment of cyberspace. My natural curiosity is itself a curse as a hunger for information, insight debates, views on perspectives on all the diverse topics that I am interested in; such as politics, science, business, economics, film, science fiction, and philosophy.

The Guide to Happiness
I think I was around 10 years old. I was an angry child, frustrated with the world and my place in it, full of rage I did not know how to express. I remember laying on my bed, feeling the weight of the world pressing down on me, and I felt an itch in the middle of my back that I just needed to get rid of. So I squiggled and squirmed, kicked the sheets off my bed and let out an exasperated scream I'd been holding in for my whole, entire, very short life.

Life Isn't Meant to Be Straight Lines
On the road less traveled, life becomes an adventure. We spend so much time planning to live that we miss the opportunity to experience our existence on our terms. If we don't take control, we end up giving it to someone who likely doesn't have your highest and best interest in mind.

5 Ways to Fall in Love... With Yourself
"Love thyself." Though succinctly put in the Bible the majority of world religions hold the very same sentiment but in varying forms. This call for self-love happened long before the current deluge of books, films, talks centred around this very topic. The over saturation can push some to become cynical and tired of hearing such messages. Totally understandable. However, I would argue that the downside of this is that people ignore a legitimate stance; one should work on loving themselves. This shouldn't be rooted in selfishness or arrogance, rather it should develop from a place if self respect and kindness.

The Bliss of Being Alive
"Ignorance is bliss, but wisdom is the bliss of feeling alive." Bliss is simplicity. It is the core of our beings. Bliss is what you feel when you get rid of all the unnecessary thinking and worrying that we do. When you get rid of things that are doing you harm you uncover the joy that is within you. It can then shine out through you. Drop everything and become aware of what is unfolding in front of you at this moment. This is how bliss is found.

Why Do Others' Opinions Matter so Much?
On a daily basis, we must interact with other individuals; and whether they know it or not, there is a sort of judgment that everyone can catch a whiff of. Opinions are simply that, an opinion. They are not the facts, they are not what defines us, and yet other people's’ opinions seem to define how we dress, how we act, and how we interact with our peers. But why?

Finding You
The lonely road traveled, nowhere to turn. You smile to hide your sadness, you smile to hide the pain. To others, you are the strength that moves the world and the glue that bonds it tightly together; but to yourself, you are just human. You feel pain, hurt, and betrayal. On the outside, you are tough as nails, but deep down inside you are fragile as a snail shell. You move through life helping other people with their problems, but when you have problems, who do you turn to? How do you ask for help when everyone comes to you? They see you as the almighty warrior, problem solver. Traveling down this lonely road of greatness to others, but to you, it’s a lonely highway, with no one to really confide in, too many serpents among you. You tried opening up to people, but they show their true colors, you think to yourself, "Damn, I knew that was serpent when I laid eyes on them." You begin to wonder, "Is everyone like this?"

Winning at Life
Every day we struggle. Struggle to get up, struggle to get dressed, struggle to get to work, struggle to get through the day, get home, take the kids to practice, make dinner, pay the bills ... The list is endless. I have found that by changing two things I no longer feel like I’m struggling. At first I started managing, then I started overcoming. Now I am controlling—controlling everything in my life.
