A very important and serious decision I make for this year

Funny how as we get older,we get more serious and certainly less fun.

I was talking to a childhood friend of mine yesterday who currently lives in England and told me she misses her teenage years. 'We didn't have much and we didn't need much', she said. As I was conversing with her, I realized that it's true that our 'old days' seem to be more fun than our daily lives. We are so into working, doing, shopping, driving, etc that we forget what playing is and how being cool feels. This links to my last blog post of how I spent 2014.

Being an adult doesn't have to be serious all the time. Being fun and funny spices up life and makes it more interesting. I love watching how spontaneous children are. I don't need to look very far. My very own child is so full of life and plays for most of his time. It certainly helps develop his brain but it also sets up his mood. He's for most of the time happy and smiling.

This year, I decide to be more easy-going and have fun like a 4 year-old. Why make life complicated when it can be simple and enjoyable.

Happy New Year everyone!

It is true that we spend our time looking for what we don’t have and we love comparing ourselves with others. Self-help books authors are right to suggest that one should implement gratitude exercises on a daily basis so s/he is aware of his/her given talents, resources and assets in life. It is a proven way that one will live happier and less miserable. To be honest, I didn’t need to read it from Tony or Ronda. Gratitude is something we are taught to ever since we are small children. After finishing a meal, you should say ‘hamdoullah’. Hamdoullah isn...

It's Okay to Change Your Mind

Changing minds is often seeing as a negative thing. If you’ve made promises to yourself in the past and find it difficult to keep them up, don’t beat yourself up. Embrace the change and do NOT stress out. Your old self hasn’t died. It just evolved. Sticking to decisions you’ve made when you were 5 years-old doesn’t make much sense especially if they become a hindrance to your development and growth. It’s OK to change your mind... In this video, I explain why it's okay to change your mind and how it can actually be a beneficial thing. As George Bernard Shaw said, 'Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.' QUESTION: What is one promise you made yourself that you're finding hard to keep? Please comment below and share the video if you liked it!
