5 Steps to Design a Remarkable Life “If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.”- Jim Rohn. We spend a significant portion of our time designing. We design our homes, we design our work schedules, and we even design our feeds for the gram. But how much time do we really invest when it comes to designing our own lives? Up until recently, I spent much of my time doing, and not really questioning.

The Questions That Changed My Life. “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.”- Albert Einstein “There are years that ask questions and years that answer”- Nora Neale Hurston. Over the years, I’ve started to become more conscious and aware of my actions and decisions. Much of our lives are pre-programmed for us. Graduate from high school, complete a degree at university, get a well paid job, take out a mortgage and spend the next 30 years working to pay it off.

3 Questions That Changed My Life

Questions

As an indecisive Libran, I have often found it difficult […]

How to Rid Your Life of Negativity. “Let go of the people who dull your shine, poison your spirit and bring you drama. Cancel your subscription to their issues.”- Steve Maraboli “Life is a Reflection of what you think. If your thoughts are negative, the world you see will be the same.”- Leon Brown At one point or another, I’m pretty certain we have all unwittingly allowed negative energy to infiltrate our space.

How I Doubled My Salary & Fast-Tracked My Career within 3 Years. “Be so good they can’t ignore you”– Steve Martin. One of the questions I’m frequently asked is how I managed to get started in my career and climb the corporate ladder. I recall being a university graduate with almost no industry experience. When I graduated from uni I did not have any mentors or anyone to give me advice. All I had was my laptop, the internet and seek.com which at that time, was my best friend. I applied for 100+ jobs until I finally landed an interview with a reputable cosmetics company. With my very minimal experience, the […]
