35. Saying Yes Speeds Up Your Life - Examples
I recently realised that you can use the words 'yes' and 'no' to control the speed of your life. Yes is like the accelerator. The more things you say yes to, the more things you will do and the more experiences you will have. This is great if you want to explore or break out of your comfort zone....

34. Social Media - Honest Expression vs. Curated Content
I don't put much effort into my social media. I collect photos with the intention to post them online but I rarely get around to doing it. When I do post, I don't get many likes. Is this a problem? ---- Questions flying around my head: Am I posting crappy content? Do I just have too many…

31. Transition - Changing the Focus from Party to Work
I'm in the middle of a transition. It feels really weird. I find this is the case with most transitional periods. You are used to moving in one direction and suddenly you head off in a different one. Parts of you like it, other parts of you don't. What helps me is to become aware of the parts…

26. How to Talk to Girls
I love girls. I've always had them around because I have five sisters and my Mum was the lead parent in our house. But I had no idea how to talk to them or get them on a date. I just got friend-zoned. All. The. Time. So, I decided to do something about it. I wanted to learn how to express myself…

24. Are You Doing the Right Thing?
Today I spent the day doing work that I didn't really want to do. And it pained me. There are people around the world starving and living incredibly difficult lives. So, surely I should be able to handle one day of not-so-great work? True. But... on my quest to live the life of my dreams, I want…

16. Ego - How It Impacts Your Creations and Your Goals

We have different opinions. My girlfriend, Jutta, and I can talk about anything. But we've never been able to talk about the covid vaccine without descending into petty squabbling. We always had our minds made up and didn't want to hear the other's point of view. But today, we decided we would...

11. Notes from the Underground by Dostoevsky. Here's what I learned.
Dostoevsky is, according to many people, one of the greatest novelists who ever lived. I wanted to experience some of his works for myself. But I found 600+ page epics like The Brothers Karamazov a bit daunting. So, I picked one of his shorter, but still well-known, novels: Notes from the...
