Know your worth
How many of us spend our lives trying to convince turkeys that they’re eagles, and in the process, sabotage our own growth and happiness? To quote another piece of old school wisdom, birds of a feather flock together. If you don’t know your own nature, you will associate with those who are not aligned with…

Self-imposed prisons of our mind
We imprison ourselves each time we restrain our natural expression because we’re afraid that it won’t be appreciated, or celebrated. Our need for approval or validation soon becomes our greatest crutch in life, until eventually it becomes our prison. We decorate its walls with images and scraps that honour the past, sometimes recalling moments of…
