Sometimes I wonder why it’s taking me so long to just sit back and be content with what I have. I can never just take a break and call it a day, every day I relentlessly try to figure out my purpose. Don’t get me wrong, I’m super grateful for everything I have going for …
I can’t believe how naive I was for notย taking care ofย myself. During the past couple of months, I got so lost in the art of doing,ย that I forgot “why” I was doing what I was doing in the first place. I was getting so caught up in the day-to-day activities of my business, that my …
Disclaimer:ย This post does not allude toย evolution nor the idea that we’re descendants from a particular animal species. Bear with me here (pun intended). I can’t count how many times I get distracted withย new and exciting ideas everyday. Ideas as to how I can make better improvements to my career, add more value to my business, …
Let’s admit it, nobody likes getting rejected. Whether it’sย being rejected from a job opportunity you wantedย so bad, getting rejected from ‘once’ dear friends after you’ve been busy for a while, or getting rejected from a guy/girl you were interested in. But what about all the times youย didย NOT get rejected? Do you remember those? What about …
It’s been almost 2 months since my last post. A lot of things have happened ever since, well, in my head at least. November will mark my 10th month in Guelph, away from Toronto.ย I’ve recently been so consumed by my work and business that I find myself missing Toronto more than ever. Whileย I’ve achieved many …
Visited the Waterloo Mosque yesterday after 3 years. So good to see this place again, the smell of musk in the air, the extra clean carpets (EVERY time), and the peaceful lighting hasn’t changed a bit. I knew no one there, funny how time passes by! Places will always stay the same, people come and …
I haven’t posted an article for quite a while now.ย I got carried away with working on my new business, constantly figuring out ways in which I could market and integrateย it into the city (as well as balance it with the manyย other components of my life).ย I understand that new ventures are always difficult in the beginning, …
Time is lifeโs greatest wonderment. Captivating in its ways of creating history and the World we live in, and mysterious in its ways of shaping our lives through a series of experiences. Our personalities, career paths, reputation and destinies are formed by a collection of experiences made up of millions of fragments in time. Every …
It wasn’t all that bad. Coming to think of it, it wasn’t bad at all. I pray she is well. We both had ourย share of mistakes that we learned from. I wouldn’t go back and change a thing. Our beautiful memories were created for a purpose. Our unfortunate ending was also created for a purpose, …
I’ve started on a new business venture and I’ve been learning so much. I was designing a flier just yesterday and was quite impressed by how good it ended up (totally not bragging). Business to me seems to be two main things: 1) Supply and 2) Demand. Not only do you need adequate supply to …
โWe have to continually be jumping off cliffs and develop our wings on the way down.โ -Kurt Vonnegut I came across this quote the other day, and it’s justย one of those quotes that strike you unexpectedly. My friends know very well that my social mediaย feed is BLASTED with inspirational posts and quotes. So much so …
Most times it isn’t the ONE good or bad thing that either makes or breaks your day, but rather a sequence of events that trigger a “chain reaction” leading to your current condition.ย Missing your bus in the morning made you angry, your frustration was brought to work and your lack of focus made you …
I’m learning not to dwell too much on the annoying details of life, because whenย I do so I notice it draws too much of my energy that could’ve been best put somewhere else. Learning to let things go is probably not one of my best strengths due to my high levels of empathy and emotional …
