During my cancer battle, I recall going in to get my chemo treatment which I knew to be exhausting but necessary.  I would try to muster up the courage to continue fighting my cancer battle one chemo round at a time.  Although thoughts of desperation and anguish would sometimes fill my head to the point that they would overwhelm me with sorrow I would try to escape by going to sleep…

On occasion, I have had some of my close family members, friends and fellow work colleagues ask me how I always mange to appear very calm and composed.  At times, I tell them it’s because most things are not devasting enough to give them that much importance or merit.  Which in reality is true in many situations.  Other times, I may joke and say that it’s because I know how to keep it together and be cool…

In life, I have faced many challenges both personally (cancer, loss of loved ones) and professionally (loss of job, unfairness, and furlough).  As most of us find out, life is not always easy.  The struggle is real and present in everyone’s life in one form or another.  Recently, I was feeling defeated because I felt that I haven’t been able to move forward in…

One day we go to bed tired from our day eager to go to sleep when suddenly we find ourselves tossing and turning.  After playing tug of war with our bed sheets for what seems like an eternity, we finally give up and open our eyes.

October is such a wonderful month for so many different reasons.  I am particularly fond of this month because it is my birthday month.  In my younger years I loved celebrating my birthday because I would get to eat cake, get gifts and it was simply a joyous occasion.  Fast forward as an adult, I still enjoy celebrating my birthday for…

Live your best life sounds good but what does it really mean? Well, for many people it may mean to live their life doing the things that make them happy. For example, some people might say that going camping, and spending time alone with nature is their bliss. Others might say that having an outing with close friends and family brings them joy. On the other hand, many might be happy just staying home listening to their favorite audio book immersing themselves into the…

At times, when faced with new challenges or opportunities, I overwhelm myself with doubt and worry.  I think to myself “I am unable to do this, I don’t have the skills or knowledge.” “Why are they reaching out to me, I don’t think I am the one to help them through their situation.”  I become mentally exhausted from all my thoughts so I decide to step away…

Countless books exist on the topic around finding your purpose in life.  Numerous concepts are written on the subject on the best way to find your true passion and purpose.  To be honest, I had received a couple of books on the subject matter myself because I didn’t know my path.  Most of my friends had decided what they wanted…
