5 New Year Resolutions to Stick To
The transition into the New Year is always one where we place a lot of pressure on ourselves. It's as though we need to remake ourselves simply because the year has changed over. This simply isn't true. You can make a life change any day of the week, if you really want to.

It’s Time to Fly!
This year has been anything but easy. It felt like all of my resources, all my resilience was gone. Battery drained and unable to charge. And I am aware that it has been a challenging year for many. But the challenges are often exactly what we need in order to grow, overcoming obstacles is what shapes us into a person we are meant to become. Without the pain of the transformation - there wouldn’t be a butterfly and a caterpillar would never experience the joy of flying. His model of the world would remain the same - a safe but a very limited existence. By never challenging ourselves, our beliefs and behaviours - we remain stuck on the same level, which might feel comfortable but is not very fulfilling. As a popular quote states: “A comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there.” We often play it small, not living our full potential for various reasons. Many of us are not following our true passions by sticking to the familiar and safe living, not taking any risks and not even exploring who we really are. Not who we are according to our society, our parents, or our own inner monologue, which is very repetitive most of the time. We all have unique talents and gifts we might not even be aware of. Or we are aware of them but keep postponing pursuing our dreams. We are too busy making a living to explore any of that. We are basically living on an autopilot, caught up in a rat race like so many others around us. Hence it is no surprise that sooner or later something outside of us will challenge us. Push us to the next level. Why? Because we are meant to fly. We are meant to step into our greatness. This is why we are on this journey called life, with all its ups and downs. This is why we keep going no matter what - on a deeper level we know it will be worth it in the end.

Fire Your Brain. Hire Your Heart.
Fire your brain. Hire your heart. Too often, the stories in our brains hold us back from new experiences that might be life-changing. We are approached with a new opportunity and, almost immediately, thoughts of fear and confusion arise, leading us to make the conclusion that we should not take the opportunity in front of us.

What Is Extrinsic Motivation and How Does It Work?
Why do we do the things that we do? Why do we go to work every day? Go to the gym? Do homework or anything for that matter? There are two different types of motivation, extrinsic motivation, and intrinsic motivation.
