A day in the life of...
Better Days This is what my perfect day will look like once this isolation is over. 8:45am: I will wake up. I will take a shower and wash myself with my favourite shower gel, its vanilla and strawberry. Ill get out and clean my teeth and comb my hair. I will dress in my favourite pair of black jeans that have a hole in one knee and I would wear my new space shirt with a silver tie. I will dress up today as it is a beautiful day.

Elevating Mindset
When someone says, “Hey, can I take 5 minutes of your time.” Most people stray away. But what if those 5 minutes add value to your life? You see, 5 minutes can be spent eating a bag of chips, sitting on a toilet, or reading a tweet that’ll only satisfy you for a short amount of time. If you put a timeframe on something, you start thinking about how much time it’s going to waste. If you start thinking from an opportunistic standpoint, you would tell yourself, “Okay, I’ll give this a shot, try me.” It gives you doors that could possibly open interests that you might have never thought about before.

It is exactly them being jerks to me that spurred me to be who I am today and maybe you, the reader, can get some personal introspection afterwards.

What do you believe?
When you have a college resume, meeting someone new or trying to find yourself many people start by asking if they know who they are. Even then it’s okay to not know because sometimes time is infinite and you can find out eventually but if you don’t know who you are how can you expect to get respect, love or even acknowledgment.

Mornings
Morning People I never quite understood what makes someone a morning person other than that they like getting up before the sun and feel good doing it. I have watched countless videos on morning routines, how to wake up early, and how to have a productive morning and yet I just can't do it. The few mornings that I have gotten up before the sun, I love the view of the sun rising into the sky while having my coffee, but it doesn't motivate me enough to do it every day. In many of the videos that I have seen of people getting up at five in the morning and accomplishing a list of things makes me want to do the same but why does it have to be so hard.

RIDING THE WAVES OF CHANGE INTO THE NEW NORMAL
Are you longing for the safety, familiarity, and certainty of the old normal? I think it is safe to say that there is not one person on this planet whose life has not been disrupted or changed in some way by the current corona situation.

36 YEARS IN..
It is hard to believe it. I don’t know how to process it. Thirty six years ago, this journey, my journey of life began. The question most get asked on their birthday is quite frankly annoying, which makes me so happy, you haven’t asked me; because as I mentioned earlier, I don’t know how I am feeling? I don’t know how to deal with the reality that in four short years, I will celebrate four decades on this earth.

Who are you?
Often times we fall into a rabbit hole when we begin to ponder on the question "who are you?". Personally, I feel the reason that happens so easily is because we have been shaped by a society that somehow "idealistically" holds our sense of identity. We often seek external validation and acceptance that when the question is asked we become conflicted because we are thinking or pondering about what someone would say because of our response. So, I'll help you out a little here. The next time someone asks the question who are you, you should answer, do you mean what am I. Why this response you may ask, the answer is simple. Who am I is reflective of the notion that our identity is subjected to this realm of existence or reality but the truth is, we come from far beyond this dimension. You don't have to be religious and if you are you should understand what I'm about to share even more. In the religious book called the BIBLE, it states in the beginning when man was created, the breath of life was blown into him making him a living soul.

When Quarantine Ends, I’m Going Out For Pancakes
9:17 AM When quarantine ends, I’m going to get my wife and kids out of bed at 9:17 AM and take them out for pancakes. The one thing I like about stay at home is that we get to sleep in. That’s going to be a hard thing to give back up when life returns to normal.
