The Real Difference Between People Who Make It and People Who Don't
From the outside, success can look like magic. We see the finished version of people, the career, the confidence, the achievements, and assume they must have been born different. More talented. More disciplined. More certain. More lucky. More everything.

Moving from Big City to Small Town
I grew up in one of the largest cities in Canada. There was always somewhere to go and somewhere to be; everyone was always in a rush to go, go, go. No one has time to stop and say hello as you pass them, and why would you? Why would you stop and say hello to a stranger? There was no need to. There is something different here. I moved from the hustle and bustle of a beautiful city close to the mountains to right in the mountains. Strangers have stopped to wish you a happy New Year when they had AirPods in their ears. The pace is different, everything is slow, and people have time to stop and say hello. However, if you want to get stuff done on the weekend good luck. A lot of places are closed. We were thinking to get our British Columbia Drivers licenses and we can’t do it without my husband taking time off work or starting early and rushing to get it done before end of day which happens to be at 4:30 pm. Yet again there’s no rush, people take their time talking to cashiers, not everyone avoids eye contact and are in and out of stores with a blink of an eye. Everyone talks to you like they’ve known you for years.

The Day He Didn’t Walk Away: A Story About Failure, Patience, and Quiet Success Rizwan stood outside the tall glass building, staring at his reflection as if it belonged to someone else. His tie was slightly crooked, his shoulders tense, and his eyes carried the exhaustion of years that had not gone as planned.
