Understanding ourselves and the world we live in.
Malcom Gladwell came up with this idea that it takes somewhere around 10000 hours of practicing to get good at something. I don’t know how does this sound for you, but it makes me freeze. I did the “math” and 10,000 hours translate into 417 days (24/7) or 1250 days if we work 8 hours... Continue Reading →
It’s been a while since I wrote a Successful People post. Although we both know that the definition of success is different from one person to another, there are some common core aspects throughout all of the definitions of success and they are all related to our perspective. I believe that Dan Lok is a... Continue Reading →
In the search of creating a post, I stumbled across this video that reminded me something I often forget: perfection is a self-imposed standard impossible to achieve. But we all want to achieve it in whatever we do. It’s healthy to strive for perfection, but it’s not healthy to expect to achieve it.... Continue Reading →
The week is almost done, but we still have lots of things to do.

Here are some quotes that I find... Continue Reading →
Would it be possible to get anywhere if there wasn’t a path to that destination? A path is a way and if the way exists, why we sometimes behave as if it didn’t exist for us? It’s interesting how some invisible things (our thoughts) can f*ck up our lives. This mind we have... Continue Reading →
When you think about your dreams, how important are they for you? What are you willing to make so you can make your dreams come through? What obstacles are between you and your ideal life? Would you like to overcome them? How are you going to do that? Life is not easy and... Continue Reading →
We live in a world where there is always someone else that has what we want. Because of this, we might try to follow that person’s footsteps so we can get that thing as well. But does this fit with us? Can we consider that path to be our own? Sure, we can take... Continue Reading →
“Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.” – Winston Churchill But how? What can we do to keep our enthusiasm whenever we encounter some sort of failure or when we make mistakes? How can we handle all those negative emotions like guilt and shame? I believe this is actually the... Continue Reading →
Today, I stumbled across the below YouTube video that reminded me of how important the first step is. How important it is to start whatever. Because we cannot get somewhere if we don’t start. Actually, I made a post a while back about this, called The “Waiting for the right moment” Mistake. I consider... Continue Reading →

You all know that Mondays are not always a pleasant view, but they are part of our lives so if we want pleasant lives, we need pleasant Mondays as well. The fact that it is pleasant or not lays in our head, so the switch is up there, we just need the right combination... Continue Reading →
Believing in ourselves when no one else does is one of the biggest challenges we face in our daily journey. It really doesn’t matter what’s about, but whenever we try to do something and people around us have the audacity to decide what we can do and what we can’t, it might trigger inside...

Will Smith is an American producer, rapper, comedian, songwriter and my favourite actor of all times. I find him successful for the mindset and the work ethics he has, not necessarily for the income he has, although it is an indication for the first two. In a negative world, it is awesome to...

This big ball we’re living on is moving forward and it’s Monday again. Maybe the perfect time to start something new? Or maybe not perfect, but definitely the time because the ball is not stopping and we’re not going to get this time back. When my alarm went off this morning my brain... Continue Reading →

The “relationship” we have with pain is just like the relationship between cat and mice (cat being the pain). It’s something we try to avoid with all costs and no wonder because no one likes pain. Even though we try to run away from it, sometimes it touches us and what we do with... Continue Reading →
One of the most important parts of the self development process is not to lie to ourselves which is easier to be said than done because of many aspects involved (aspects like the level of self esteem, the level of self confidence, the threshold for pain, the expectations and so on). If we get... Continue Reading →

Stephen King is one of the most known writers out there. Many of his writings have been picked up and transformed into films or TV series. Besides his writings, I’m fascinated about his ideas about what can we do to get better. As you’ll see in the below video, Mr. King has a... Continue Reading →
