The way a father treat his child will influence what he or she looks for another people. Friends, lovers and spouses will be chosen based on how the child perceived the meaning of the relationship with his or her father. The patterns a father sets in the relationships with his children will dictate how his children relate with other people.

The truth is that you aren’t lacking a destiny or purpose. There is a very good reason for your insatiable curiosity: you’re someone who’s going to shake things up, create something novel, solve complex, multidimensional problems, make people’s lives better in your own unique way. Whatever your destinies are, you can’t step into them while stifling your multipotentiality. You must embrace it and use it.

It’s easy to say, “I will start when I have more experience, money, time and resources”. By this time next year, you will have a lot more excuses. It’s a cycle. And once you get caught in the loop, it, can be difficult to break free and do something meaningful you care about. There isn’t a right time for anything. There’s no such thing as perfect timing.

Personal Values are broad desirable goals that motivate people’s actions and serve as guiding principles in their lives. Everyone has values, but each person has a different value set. These differences are affected by an individual's culture, personal upbringing, life experiences, and a range of other influences.

It can be difficult to maintain faith during hard times. It’s certainly tough to trust in the good when every single thing in your life seems to be unnecessarily challenging or just plain awful. But these bad times are when faith is most important. Mark 9:23 - Jesus said to him, if you can believe? All things are possible for one who believes.

Turning 30 is often built up to be a huge landmark. The first big celebration after our ‘coming of age’ 18ths, it can be seen as a marker of how much we’ve achieved in young adulthood. For women especially, it has historically been the point at which we’re pressured to feel it 'all coming together', as that biological clock starts to tick even louder. It’s an age of ambition, promise, achievement and expectation all rolled into one.

You can't always wait for the perfect time. Sometimes you have to dare to do it because life is too short to wonder what could have been.
