I don’t know how many times I told you about me continuously ridding myself of my bad habits and creating good habits. In order to do both, one must do small changes consistently for straight 21 days because it takes 21 days to build and destroy habits.
Now, I have a confession to make. I have [...]

While some of my innermost self-goals have yet to be accomplished, I am glad that I have developed self restrained in terms of material wants. In fact, even [...]

I have not had a decent sleep lately, my iPhone4 and poor diet seem to be the culprit for my dark circles under my eye.
I swear this little gadget can be very addictive and can possible take over your life if you do not practice discipline and self control. Come to think of it, it [...]

When 2010 came, it came with so many promises and hope. I was determined to be productive and remained to be positive all throughout the year. But life has a way of sneaking on you. There were highs and lows and expectations not met. I guess the key to enjoy life is not to set [...]

There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or what your were owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear.
So too, your hopes, [...]
