It’s generally seen as a positive and desirable destination, a reward for a life lived in accordance with divine or moral principles. The specific descriptions of heaven vary […]
“Can you sleep when the wind blows?”
28th July 2025 The phrase “I can sleep when the wind blows” is a common idiom that signifies being prepared & having peace of mind amidst challenging circumstances or potential difficulties. It implies that one has taken the necessary steps to mitigate risks & is therefore able to rest assured, even when others are anxious […]
‘Early or Late’
27th July 2025 I have recently discovered this magic pill and use it regularluly; It’s called, Late-No-More. Just one dose every day allows me to show up on time, greatly enhancing my life and the lives of those around me. Jokes aside, being late is unacceptable, your punctuality says a lot about you and the […]
‘Embraceable You’
26th July 2025 Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, a honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Remember, the one who seems the strongest is sometimes the one who is in most […]
“Destitutus ventis, remos adhibe”
25th July 2025 I love this Latin proverb that means “If the wind will not serve, take to the oars.” Life is never going to be about tailwinds alone, everyone gets to experience one’s share of headwinds in our journey. There will be challenges, and the need to shift to Plan B. The most successful […]

24th July 2025 We all have an internal dialogue that runs 24/7. The quality of that internal dialogue has a real, tangible impact on your interaction with the external world. If you tell yourself over and over again that you aren’t capable of something, you will believe it to be true. You won’t try. If […]

20th July 2025 Someone recently shared this with me: “I have this productivity anxiety that everyone else is working harder than me and I’am going to be left behind because I’am not working fast enough, long enough and I’am wasting my time” Doesn’t this shine a light on the behavior so many of us exhibit—even […]
Via Negativa – Subtract, Subtract, Subtract
18th July 2025 I remember, I read somewhere that we spend the 1st half of our lives adding things, and the 2nd half subtracting most of them. As I cross another year, I realize that the answer to most of our problems is indeed found in subtraction, not addition. Bruce Lee got it dead right […]
Leave it to him
16th July 2025 Whenever someone asks me, ‘What should you ask for in prayer from God,’ I am reminded of a story: A king was once roaming the streets of the city as part of an annual religious procession. He saw that some people looked happy while others looked tense and forlorn. The king suddenly […]
Action Bias
15th July 2025 Prioritizing action over inaction, without sufficient reasoning to support it, can lead us to mishandle a situation. Action is normally an automatic response based upon impulse instead of logic. In a penalty situation in soccer, the ball takes less than 0.3 seconds from the player who kicks the ball to the goal. […]
