Top 5 Books That Changed My Mindset

Throughout my life, whenever I was in a tough place, the only thing that … Continue reading Top 5 Books That Changed My Mindset

Is … Continue reading A Mind Map towards understanding Yourself

The Self-fulfilling Prophecy – Reblog

Things happen and I often hear that things happen to us. What if we somehow influence most of them? What if when a car breaks down and we blame the universe, it’s actually our fault for not doing its checks more often?

We, as people, are very much like trees, … Continue reading The Courage of Being Yourself – Reblog
