The Dragon Beside Me
In the Year of the Dragon 2024, amidst celebrations of International Women's Day, I find my thoughts invariably drifting to a woman not widely known in the public domain, yet whose impact on my life mirrors the mythical dragon's strength, love, and determination. Dr. Eleni Theodorou, a beacon of resilience and wisdom, embodies the very essence of a dragon—fierce in her pursuit of healing, cloaked in the enigmatic magic of compassion. Her story, unlike the famed legends of Maya Angelou or Malala Yousafzai, remains largely untold, but it's a narrative that has inspired me deeply.

Anas Ahmed KhanPublished about a month ago in MotivationEquality is a hoax
It is interesting to see women’s fight for equality and even though I commend their efforts, I don’t think they realize how complex of a problem this is. This article isn’t about women’s fight for equality, but rather a deeper dive into equality, what it is and the reality of it all.

Shazib SohailPublished about a month ago in MotivationWhen the passion goes away
I watched a video where the person was talking about their perfect day. It got me thinking about what my perfect day would be like. I'm not sure why, but I just can't seem to think about anything. Thinking about my perfect day I'm not sure what that looks like anymore for me. I feel like I have no job or direction anymore. Where did all my feelings of joy go? My biggest concern is that if I don't know what my perfect day is, then what is my goal to get to? I want my days to be filled with joy, and happiness, and purpose. For some reason, I'm just not sure where my real and pure joy is. The question is where did I lose that real direction? Was it after my trauma? Or has it just come from age? We get into a routine of life, going to work, getting by, going through the motions. When that happens, we lose things. Such as feeling real joy, real happiness, real purpose.
