Is The Grass Really Greener Where You Water It?
A friend had been with his employer for a few years, serving loyally but promotion always eluded him. Disheartened and discouraged as he watched new recruits move up the ladder, he finally decided to look for another job. When the interviewer asked him why he was leaving his current position his response was, “I’m looking for greener pastures.” “What if the grass in the new pasture turns out to be brown?” My friend’s answer to that was, “ I’ll water it until it’s green.”

3 Good Things We Need To Know About Rejection. Top Story - April 2021.
“Rejection is nothing more than a necessary step in the pursuit of success” - Bo Bennett Rejection undeniably leaves us with a heavy heart especially if we have experienced it countless times. When our hopes get dashed after a proposal is turned down, ideas are disapproved, or love is unreciprocated, we often ask ourselves if we can ever be good enough or if we can ever amount to something. Sometimes, these thoughts become overpowering, leading us to retreat in self-defeat and fear rejection for the rest of our lives.

Bertrand’s Interpretation
When my professor of philosophy, Mr. Gilmbol, said to expand my horizon, I don’t think he meant literally. However, as one learning to define greater things I thought it’d be only fitting if I did just that.

The art of procrastination
I have a question, it might triggers you but there it goes: Is it me of this pandemic got us more lazy? Let me rephrase that, I mean at first we were all for getting ourselves busy during the first lockdown, I got friends promising to learn a new language, maybe start cooking, or baking. But what I noticed over time, all that went away, don't get me wrong I felt for that too. I promised myself to stay active, write my second book ( still didn't get half way of it done yet), I would read more, watch all the shows and movies on my Netflix list. Well, it didn't happen, I mean for the past year, I didn't hold any of those objectives, I spend my time watching videos on YouTube lay on my couch and eat take out almost daily Why did I do that you wonder? Well, it's simple, I procrastinate, a LOT! I am not the type of person who when I have free time I can be productive, I am the opposite of that, free time to me equal me not doing anything. I thrive in high energy and busy schedule, I don't know how others do but I am much more productive when I have plenty on my plat.

The Waning Wound
The brain is such a hypocrite. On one hand I can use it to solve complex problems and riddles. I can understand mathematical equations and visualize the way something was built. I can make decisions for my own greater good or for the good of others. I can figure out what I want in my future and think about how to get it. I can imagine a radiant wonderful life of success for me and my loved ones, and I can complete a 5,000 piece puzzle. I can empathize and understand others motives and personalities. I can express my thoughts and desires and show love through words and actions. On the other hand, though, my brain sabotages me. It riddles me deep into a labyrinth where I can no longer see.

Eight ways I handle negative comparisons and imposter syndrome
Movies teach lessons…like Zoolander. I really like movies…alot. If you ask my wife she’ll tell you that I’m “obsessed” (I am). A silly favorite of mine is the movie Zoolander which features a male model (Ben Stiller) who has been mind controlled to assassinate the prime rib of Micronesia (spoiler alert). There’s one scene where Derek’s love interest Matilda confesses that she was bulimic as a child due to the fashion world’s portrayal of beauty, of course, Derek and Hansel fail to understand the gravity of the situation and hilarity quickly ensues.

Possessive: The Cousin of Controlling
As creative beings, we can get extremely invested in a project. If we're passionate enough, and there's a whole background behind the project -- i.e., if it has an extra special meaning -- then we essentially see it as our child. We want to love and protect this beautiful creative child of ours, with all the strength we have. And anyone who comes in to try to change our child is wrong.
