Procrastination (noun). “A mystical land where 99% of all human productivity, motivation and achievement is stored.”  Procrastination is the thief of time.”- Edward Young. We’ve all been culprits to procrastination at one point or another. Perhaps it was putting off a university assignment, completing a project at work or making a simple phone call.

Sure, you may have been susceptible to added stress as you were running through the university gates with 30 seconds […]

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. Were the decisions I made in my life carefully considered, or was I simply making decisions based on […]

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. And only when we retire, do we have the money and resources to be able to travel and life […]

“Decisions. We can think about things, turn them over in our minds a million times, play out possible scenarios. But when it really comes down to it, you have to go with your heart and move forward. Maybe things will go well. Maybe they’ll turn out poorly. Every decision brings with it some good, some bad, some lessons and some luck. The only thing that’s for sure is that indecision steals many years from many people who wind up wishing they’d just had the courage to leap.”- Doe Zantamata Lately, I’ve found myself at a cross-roads more often than not. As an indecisive Libran, I have often found it difficult […]

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. There are some individuals who simply thrive off of it. Negativity is all around us and it doesn’t necessarily present itself in the most obvious way. In fact, I have been friends with people for years, before I […]

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 […]
