  • Don’t label your struggle

    Don’t label your struggle

    Mental health is about hope. The more hope we have for experiencing joy tomorrow, the better our mental health today. The human experience is not an illness. The best way to protect your mental health is by recognising your humanness. Don’t allow your reality to be labelled as something more than your experience of the…

  • Never stop chasing

    Never stop chasing

    The thing about chasing dreams, is that it’s our dreams. As obvious as that seems, we rarely recognise that no one else will ever have a view of our dreams the way that we have it even if we describe it to them in detail. They will visualise it within the context of their lives…

  • Who are you?

    Who are you?

    No matter what you do in life, you are always either a benefit or a burden to those around you. Your presence or contribution either uplifts them, or weighs them down. If you’re not aware of the impact that you have on others, you’ll unwittingly undermine the very goals that you hope to achieve in…

The ones who appreciate the effort recognise their own path towards growth, and empathise with the struggle and aspirations of others. This inspires them…

    Who defines you?

    It’s easy to lose ourselves to the outcomes of our lives. It’s easy to convince ourselves that our achievements, rather than our efforts, are a true reflection of the value we hold within. It’s a dance with fate that often destroys hope and replaces it with complacency. In a world saturated with the ungrateful and…

  • Sadly depressed

    Sadly depressed

    Depression sets in when we look for signs of hope in those things that are important to us, but find none. It doesn’t mean that there is no hope for anything in our life. It just means that what we choose as a defining relationship or experience to reflect our significance provides us with no…

  • Judging is easy

    Judging is easy

    Judging each other only becomes easy when we assume that we are above the behaviour that were judging. When we receive the benefit of the doubt from others, we assume that we deserve it, rather than it being a result of their generosity of spirit. When we’re misunderstood, we may be inclined towards accusing others…
