Once, I thought that all that mattered in life were the things that you possessed. Things like your car, house, watch, clothes. I chased all of that for many years, until I woke up one day, and realised: “What’s the point?“ That was the first step of me becoming a minimalist, and real joy. What is Minimalism? Minimalism is about living intentionally, and with a clarity about what possessions make us happy and what do not. It removes distractions from …

It’s 2019 and I’m turning 35 years old this year. When I was a young 8-year-old kid in primary school, I had teachers who were 20-30 years old. I remember thinking to myself that they were really old. Now, I’m looking on as my 40th birthday approaches in 5 years’ time, and it’s a stark reminder of how fast time flies by. I’ve read a lot and heard a lot from people about how time is finite, and how it’s …
One of the biggest mind-blocks that I had to overcome as an entrepreneur was how I needed to shift tasks away from myself. Coming from a background where it was continually told to me that hard work is valued, it was difficult letting work go and even tougher getting other people to do it. However, this is necessary, especially when you’re running a business or leading a team. The idea behind shifting work away isn’t to slack off, but to …
If there’s one thing that I’ve learnt over the years, it’s how important it is for you to feel uncomfortable. It’s strange to think of it that way at first, but being comfortable is the worst thing if you are looking to grow. We only get comfortable when we aren’t being challenged. Without challenges and without pushing our limits, we won’t grow. Our body doesn’t grow new and bigger muscles unless there’s a need for them. That’s why bodybuilders always …
Vince Lombardi said that only perfect practice makes perfect. That’s something that needs to be truly understood and appreciated. A lot of us know how it’s like to practice, but not every one of us is practicing the right way. Finding The Right Training Aids I remember when I was intrigued by learning how to ride an electric unicycle. It was novel to me, and I viewed it as a challenge. I started learning it the only way I knew …
I used to think that spontaneity was the spice of life. I’d leave huge chunks of free time in my calendar, and see what I felt like doing when the moment arrived. Unfortunately, I realised that I typically ended up filling my free time with mindless activities, such as watching movies or TV shows, surfing social media, or going out for one too many drinks. After a while, it began to frustrate me because there wasn’t anything fulfilling about those …
“If you don’t know where you are going any road can take you there”– Lewis Carroll I’ve heard many people say that the opposite of success is failure. That’s not true. In fact, failure is a necessary part of success. Every time you fail at something, you’re finding out another way that doesn’t work, which will ultimately bring you a step closer to finding success. The opposite of success is not failure. It’s mediocrity. It’s not performing at your full …
