Failure!

Failure. A word no one wants to associate with. Failure is a negative word. No one wants to be called a failure or acknowledge failure. However, it's almost inescapable. We fail so that we can succeed oftentimes. Also, failure teaches us to lookout for the missing ingredient (s) and position ourselves not to leave out that important ingredient again. Failure isn't a random rain drop. It's usually a result of some activities. When we fail, what do we do? What's our approach to failure? How do we channel our failure and ensures it leads to success at the end of the day?

Self forgiveness is highly important here. Some of us are prone to being judgemental. We think no good of ourselves and over critise and condemn ourselves. We can't move past that failure if we keep putting ourself down. R...

Awake!

Where have you been all these years? You seem to be awakening out of a slumber, the kind of slumber that is a dream within a dream, a reality within a dream. Wake up! Yes you. “I am awake”, you say. “You are not”, I reply. “How can this be”? You ask me “Prove it”, you charge me. “Alright”, I say. Do you know what it feels like to dream?

This is just one of the many sides to the coin of dreams. Sometimes you have it all good: your ideal job, home, friends and family [The (wo) man of your dreams and even...

Who Are You?

The things we miss out on, simply because we don’t know who we are. There’s this story (paraphrased by me) about the man who saved so much to buy tickets to get on a ship. He could only afford the tickets, or so he thought. During mealtimes, while others headed to the dining room to enjoy sumptuous and lavish meals, he would stay back in his room to eat cabin biscuits and the likes that he had managed to bring on board. The last night on the ship, a fellow passenger who had observed his withdrawal into his cabin at meal times finally decided to question him to find out why he chose to miss out on the mouth-watering culinary delicacies other passengers were enjoying. His response: “After paying for the ticket, I did not have money to pay for the meals” The other fellow was surprised and had to explain that the ticket was his pass on the ship so he had a right to the meals and much more. The man was shocked to hear this. He was also sad. If only he knew the statu...
