Letter to my 18 year old self
Dear 18 year old me, It gets better. I promise. You think that at 18 life can't get any better but it can and it will. You're a beautiful person inside and out. Don't let anyone tell you any different. People are going to call you crazy for how you love unconditionally..do it anyways. People will tell you that you are too forgiving... Do it anyways. People will judge you for being too quiet and then judge you when you say the wrong things....do it anyways.

Passion, Love, Generosity And Hard Work
For many people, the ultimate goal is financial freedom and wealth. To them, it's about working their way up the corporate ladder, in order to receive an executive's salary, or to be generating substantial profits within their business, and with either of these results, they are classified as success. Either of these pathways lead to a higher income, and increases the potential to create wealth and financial freedom for oneself, but is this really success though? It's long time been considered by many, that money is what generates happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment, in life, when the truth is, it doesn't. It's a myth that money solves all our problems, and that life can become totally stress and trouble free. Whilst, when used wisely and effectively, money can definitely be a beneficial commodity that can enhance our life, it's not what delivers happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment in life, hence why it doesn't form the complete picture of success. Climbing the corporate ladder, or generating substantial profits within our own business, are definitely great achievements, there's no disputing that, but the question remains as to our true purpose behind achieving these goals. Are we really climbing the corporate ladder, or operating our own business, because we are genuinely passionate about the work we do, and we have a strong desire to serve, lead, encourage, uplift, and support others, or are we truly doing it for the sake of a higher income? The answer lies in how we greet each day, after waking from our sleep. Are we inspired and driven by our work, that we are excited and motivated about getting out of bed, to get stuck into another days' work, and do something we love, or are we simply dragging ourselves out of bed, dreaming about doing something more enjoyable and satisfying, yet are pretty much forcing ourselves to go because the pay is good?

Our Future Is In Our Own Hands
What quality of life do we really have, without having any goals to aim for? What quality of life do we really have, without taking action to achieve the goals we set? The answer to both those questions is the same; a poor one. Without setting goals, and then working hard to actually achieve them, we are not truly living at all, just merely existing. Life is about happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment, as after all, we are here on borrowed time. Each day that we fail to set goals designed to enhance our own life, but also to uplift and serve others, becomes another day wasted, as too the days that we fail to apply ourselves to the actions that are working towards those goals. Although we have no insight to the time we are blessed to have on this Earth, it doesn't excuse us from planning for our future, and our decisions and actions should always revolve around making that future as awesome as possible. The truth is, our future is in our own hands. How our future pans out comes back to all the decisions we are making, and the actions we are taking, right now. If we have devised our goals, have clear direction, and are in the process of working towards those goals, likely our future continues to become brighter every day we do so. However, if we are just sitting back, wishing, wanting, and expecting life just to deliver us the happiness, success, and prosperity, we desire so greatly, our future is becoming more and more grim by the day. The future will provide us with nothing more than regret, unhappiness, and misery, and the worst part to this is, there's no second chances. The time for action is now!

The Good In Our Life
We may not realize it, nor wish to comprehend and agree with it, but the truth is, much of the reasoning behind our unhappiness, misery, and depression, in life, is our own fault. We are in the position, the circumstances, and situation, we are in today, due to a string of decisions we made, or didn't make, and actions we took, or failed to take, it's as simple as that. Many of us refuse to accept that, nor do we do something to improve our circumstances, and instead, we just spend our time whinging and complaining how we never get what we desire in life, constantly feeling sorry for ourselves. The worst part about this is that we all actually have some wonderful people, and wonderful blessings all around us, that we use, and take for granted every day, yet we fail to appreciate them, instead choosing to focus on our selfish wants and greed. Life is challenging, and can often drag us down to great depths of depression, pain, sorrow, and adversity, to which none of us are exempt, but we quickly forget about all the good we are actually blessed to have in our life. So many of us make the decision to direct our mindset to all the negatives, and to all the things we don't have, perhaps off the back of the negative influence of others, or the envy we have towards those we deem to have a better life, or nicer possessions. It really highlights the lack of control over our mindset. If we simply changed our focus from what we don't have in life, to actually appreciating all the people, and all the things we do have in life, our entire perception of life can be transformed, as too, our attitude and behavior.

Xen's Declassified 20s Survival Guide. Top Story - November 2020.
At one point we were all wearing diapers, still figuring out how to train our tongue to wrap around the word "mommy," and "daddy." At one point we were being coddled and we didn't understand what boundaries were. At one point we all blinked for too long and by the time we opened our eyes again we were pushed out into the real world (whatever that means) with sensitive bodies, overwhelmed minds, and plates filled with responsibilities and expectations. We're not babies anymore.
