So I’m sitting on my patio contemplating the world and my world when a quote pops up in my mail, “What you tolerate become your standard.” It’s a pretty powerful statement and certainly packed with lots of wisdom. I however wanted to take it one step further and say, “What you accept becomes your future”. […]
WINNING IN TOUGH TIMES
By Tracy Hutchins. Have you ever found yourself going through a tough patch in your life? It just feels like everything around you is caving in, all that was familiar, comfortable, fun, now seems foreign and scary. You may have found yourself there more than once, maybe after a relationship breakup or perhaps you have […]
How do you define success?
Success and what success means to people can really spark a debate. Success is different for different individuals. Success is personal. Success is controversial. What one deems as success another may frown upon. Sometimes success is equated to riches. We are judged by our title, the home we live in, the cars we drive and […]
Change your thoughts, change your life.
If my best friend had to speak to me the way I speak to myself, I would probably punch them. What a silly statement but what a profound thought. Why do we give ourselves permission to say things to ourselves that we would never dream of saying to anyone else. I’m so fat, I’m useless, […]

Creatively avoiding conflict

The need for change
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Tinder, WeChat, are words that could literally cause you to break out into a cold sweat. Everything today is done on an app or found online. We are living in such a fast paced world and we really need to find a way to keep up, hence these blogs. So, what’s […]
